Im looking at a set of zenith carbs that came from a 911, and Im sort of debating if they are even worth my time? Should i be worried if i get them? Are they like the cheap empi china made webbers?
And if i am rebuilding the 2.7 with cams and some head work, will a set of zenniths work ok or great?
make me smarter.....

I don't think that they are very tuneable. The Webers seemed to be the popular carbs for these conversions, or consider the Megasquirt system using the CIS runners and new injectors.
If I was doing it today, I'd go with the megasquirt, it should run better and solves many of the problems associated with carbs and today's gasoline formulations.

Don't waste your time with them.

Some people swear by them, others won't touch them. My car I bought from Dan Root has them and runs very well. Dan is one of those guys that really likes them. I've had both.

I like 'em, they're a better carb than most others you can get. They are harder to tune and get hop-up parts for, but in the end a better design.

Great carbs. No problem with mine but they are on an engine designed from the factory to run them. A 2.7 wouldn't have come with Zeniths
