Have a 1975 1.8 with 2.0 heads, being used as a street driver. Want to install complete carb kits. What are people using?
I will install a 009 distributor, mechanical fuel pump.
Looking for ideas. I've seen the Empi 40 and 44 kits on the Samba.
Thanks

Hi there.

First up, skip the 009. The distributor that came with the 1.8 is perfect for carbs.

Second, use a rotary electric fuel pump like this one:

Third, you'll probably want Weber IDF 40 or Dellorto DRLA 36 carbs, like these which include intakes:

Some say that getting a older pair of Italian-made Weber 40 carburetors and rebuilding them are the better way to go.
