Greetings;
I have been away for the forum for awhile and my restoration project has stalled. I am thinking a switch to carburetors might get me motivated to get back on it and see if it will run. I got the car from my father in law who had it parked for almost 20 years.. Looking for recommendations on carburetors, I was thinking the single barrel carbs would be best since this is a bone stock 1.8. Which carbs are best? Which fuel pump should I use? How do you power the fuel pump? Would I need an inertia switch? Just looking for ideas. Thanks |

OP asked about carbs. I will address that and not try to shame him back to FI.
1. DO NOT attempt to run a single carb setup. 2. Go with dual Dellortos or REAL Webers. 3. DO NOT buy oversized carbs. 4. Install a decent linkage setup. 5. Synchronization is EVERYTHING. 6. Buy a good quality snail-type synchrometer. 7. DO NOT use the carbs out of the box- jet them appropriately. 8. Ensure you have NO intake leaks, especially where the manifold meets the block. 9. DO NOT use ethanol gas. 10. Install a rotary fuel pump that runs at 3.5 lbs of fuel pressure. Carbs work just fine if done correctly. Good luck. Ansbacher |
