Going through my parts pile, I've found what I think are complete (but only partly assembled) carb setups for both Dual Webbers (40 IDF) and a single Holley (don't know what model...how do I tell? There's a "D-3" on the side).
Purchased the parts with a non-running '73 a few months ago along with both trunks full of extra bits and parts. Which would you suggest I use? Which is more reliable? What is the Holley better at? What are the Webbers better at? It'll be going on a 1.7 and I'm not going to be racing it or anything, so an extra coupla HP is less important to me than reliability and availability of replacement parts. But a few extra horsepower are always welcome! The way they look, I'll need to get a kit to rebuild either setup, so I need to know which one to go for before I buy the kit. What do you think? Thanks in advance!! |

My 72 1.7 had a single Weber on it when I bought it. Sluggish and didn't bring much thrill. Took it off and installed dual Dellorto 40s along with a Pertronix ignitor set up and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) . Brought much more enjoyment to the 914 experience. Got a good performance kick and the sound of the duals sucking in air is awesome.
I've got a 72 parts car that still has the FI intact except for the fuel pump. If you decide to go FI and need parts I may have what you need. Low$ and close. Fantastic!!! another Indiana 914. |
