Attached is a link to ebay. These are the carbs im thinking about using for my 72 1.7 liter. Just curious if anyone has ever used these and if they are easy to tune. |

Hi Joe,
I put in a set that are probably similar last year. I got the Weber 34 ICT duals off ebay. (webercarbsdirect I think) Overall I am pleased, even with them on a 2 liter engine. I did have to do a little modification to the brackets holding the linkage bar and air filters, but not a major deal. You may also need to change the jets. (At least I needed to go larger.) I've read some negative comments about the Weber guys, but my experience with them was very positive. You'll need to make some kind of bracket for the throttle cable and you'll need a low pressure fuel pump. You'll also probably want to get a guage to balance the airflow on the two carbs, a larger return spring to help with the linkage, and there probably are other things that I simply don't remember. Good luck and have fun. Chris |

Good luck and have fun. Chris I should have mentioned that I have 40 redline IDF`S installed right now. I contacted some guy at weber and he said they look like early 80`s vintage.I tried everything in my power to tune them and no luck at all.I also had a friend from this site stop by and try to help and he could not get them tuned.That is why I was thinking about 34`s. They seem to be recomended for this size engine.I dont even care about going fast at this point only about actually moving out of the driveway. If I can get this damn thing to run and move out of my driveway I would be so happy. I want to just hit the "buy it now button" on ebay but i would hate to get stuck for another 350 and still no ride. Damn this car is like playing golf. You love it 1 minute and hate it the next. Any help or recomendations would be great. |
