I have a carburator kit that I just removed from my =
van.
They are dual single barrel "baby webers", 34 ICT. These are =
more
than adequate for a 2 liter engine. They give good power well =
beyond the
red line and 20 miles to the gallon. They are simmilar to the dual =
solex
carbs on 74 busses, but have larger tuning potential. If you =
increase
displacement, enlarge your valves, add an extracor system, they =
would be
more than likely to accomidate. Having big carbs on a small 2.0 =
gives
slightly unfavorable volumetric efficiency at low RPM's(engine doesn't =
create
enough vacuum to realize Bernoulli's principle very well). I would =
immagine dual two barrel carbs wouldn't realize their full potential =
below 3000
RPM, not to mention squirting all your gas away every time you step on =
the
gas. The red line on your engine is about 4500 so you wouldn't =
have a very
large usable power band. The smaller ones that I had on my van =
were kind
of unresponsive below 2000, but once they reached that the van would =
lunge
forward with great fury. They wouldn't be very good for towing, =
carrying
heavy loads. They are nice on the highway when you're turning =
4000.
80 mph isn't a problem, but anything over 70 is to fast for the engine =
and
hammers on your valve train. They are easy to troubleshoot on =
the
side of the road. Especially on long trips, carburators have =
a lot
less that can go wrong with them than an electronic fuel injection =
system.
You can trouble shoot on the side of the road with your head instead of
diagnostic equipment and potentially avoid a tow. They do give the =
van
"doughnut" potential, and the throaty sound they make is pretty mean =
also.
I'm asking $200 for the two carburators, two manifolds, hex-bar =
linkage,
and since I wont need it anymore, I'd give you the syncro guage that is =
required
after installation. All this stuff is about a year old, they don't =
have
any wear on them. I have an electric fuel pump that you can =
have
also. I've decided to reinstate the fuel injection's rule over my
engine. I have recently aquired a second parts van so I finally =
have
enough parts to make a full set. I'm doing it in an attempt to =
save some
gas mileage. E-mail me, tell me what you think, I can UPS them to =
you
tomorrow.
