Anyone see this story on Hagerty the other day? I found it slightly clever and somewhat humorous. Please delete if this has already been posted or is not appropriate for any reason. confused24.gif

All I kept thinking is that a valid response is a check list of vendor-members that can help with each item listed as broken…..lol

There is NEVER a legit or even a close to good reason to remove fuel injection and install carbs. poke.gif

If you must have the look of carbs, then use this:

Those look sweet, but how do they sound? While I prefer a D-Jet or an L-Jet fuel injection system, I gotta admit that I love the sound of the Italian dual Weber carbs or even the twin Dell'Ortos on a well-tuned 914/4. Of course carbs are the only way to go with a flat-six, but flat-fours were made for fuel injection.

@ClayPerrine
ive not seen these before, but seems like they would work nice with right manifolds on a 2.1/2056 type IV motor, what EM system and ECU would you then use?, and linkage? a Tangerine carb linkage system? idea.gif

If it were me, I would use a Tangerine throttle linkage kit, and Microsquirt.

If you already have carbs, you just need the throttle bodies.
