I have a '70 1.7L with a single Weber 2bbl.
My Pop has a screamin car which smokes the tires in 2nd or 3rd immidiately when the pedal is depressed and was a 1.8L once but is bigger now with dual Dell's. I know this engine is not gonna do that but, I feel the time lag between gas pedal to response is too long on this engine. My guess is the intake manifold tube length is resposible for the lag. Does that sound right? Is it the way it is supposed to be or could there be something out of tune? Right now I am just looking for a crisp response, the power mods will be later when I can afford it. Is the dual carb setup quicker reaction? If that's the issue, which size duals would work with the 1.7L I have now and whatever the engine can be upgraded to later and still work well? Appreciate the advice! Stu |
