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 |

Just chatted with the PO......it was no less than Peter Gregg who told him to put the 44's on the stock 2.0.
And yes, the local dealer told him they were too big w/o putting in a cam for carbs.....but he went with Peter Gregg's advice. So the PO knew Peter Gregg before his death in 1980, obviously. Trying to get more info on that. And while Gregg raced 911's and 914-6's, he surely knew the 2.0's quite well too. And yes, this matches with what you said George........ GN |

As I said, PO knew Peter Gregg - pretty well in fact. PO raced both 914's and 911's, and his first instructor was Peter Gregg, who, as all know, did the same and was one of the best. PO met with Greg fairly frequently over 4 or 5 years.
Peter Gregg told him to run 44's on a stock 914 that was a street car and this was the PO's 2nd one with them that he did not race, but used as street car.
