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 Craig at CAMP |

If the motor has a stock cam in it, then you will not be gaining anything by removing the fuel injection. The stock injection is designed for the motor, the carbs are a compromise. Your performance will drop, and you will get lousy gas mileage.
Now it becomes a whole different story if you have changed the cam. I recommend you get the fuel injection working correctly and drive it the way it is. |
