I was considering using a 4X 48IDF manifold on my V8 914 project... saw an ad on Evil Bay for a complete system with carbs "Imitation" Webers.... They also sell just the manifold....
How bad are the fake Webers? Anybody have experience with them? I suppose I could buy their manifold and bolt some true Webers on... But it is a substantial $$ dollar difference... And I'm cheap...LOL Thanks for the input... Steve |

No experience here Steve, just wanted to say I'm jealous a bit. I've always dreamed of having a setup like that on a V8 ever since looking at the cover of one of my weber books... You can still buy new Weber IDA setups for the Ford FE engines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
FWIW, I'd pony up and get real ones even if they are Spanish or wherever they are being made these days. The set I put on my car last year are new ones, and they say Spain. Run great. If you go cheapo, having a carb shop go through them would be a good idea. There's a local guy here in Tacoma I've had good experience with in the past. Carburetion Technologies. |
