Questions re: Weber 44 IDF carbs:
1. Is anyone running these on a stock engine, and if so, how do they perform? National Carburetors kit for stock engines is 34 ICT's, lightly modified 40 IDF's, and only 44's on heavily modified engines. 2. What problems do you introduce using 44's? other than dumping too much fuel in the engine...... 3. Venturi's are 45mm, someone pointed out that one should use 40mm venturi's - is that with a stock engine? 4. Anyone run 44's and then convert back to EFI? How did that go? Labor cost? TIA, GN |

If you don't want to learn D-Jet, do what you know. There will be a learning curve, and yes, the D-Jet components will be in varying states of usability and repair. I'd recommend buying a new wiring harness from Bowlsby if you do go that route, but that's just my thought.
Part of my personal enjoyment with these cars is challenging myself and learning new things, but that's not an interest for everyone. Some people just want it to work and drive it. Your car, your call. |

Rob -
One of my fav things is diagnosing and fixing things. And learning new things. My problem right now is time - too many projects going at once, one that keeps pulling my head underwater. How much is the new harness? Why are the harnesses so problematic? Typically it's not the wiring, but the terminations in connectors. Are the connectors Bosch?
