Give Rod Penrose a bell mate, he sells good weber carbs and whole kit

STAY away from anything that says E M P I

I am no expert on type 3's but I dont believe I have ever seen a single carb on one??

Well - here is one

But it reads as though you have to cut the engine cover

I would certainly think about a set of dual IDF or DRLA carbs
You will need shorty manifolds

Either that or seriously think about getting your original carbs rebuilt and a new linkage set up

plus manifolds, filters, linkage etc etc

Don't get new webers, well the 44's I've had were porous, won't get UNLESS they're Italian. Try some decades off Rod if he has, same fit as IDF.

^ I've fitted 3 sets of new Weber IDF's in the last 6 months with no problems

Did someone say FUEL INJECTION!?!

Not my engine/car...

cant beat stock carbs, just have them rebuilt, you dont want to change performance so i dont see a point in buying new ones, a freshen up is always good

Super1302 ·

Have had two pairs of webers, 3 out of the 4 were porous, need to get Italian ones if you want to stay with weber, but yeah thedecade runs sweet on my 2332 out of the box👍

Good one danny, we've all been there mate! Now go drive and enjoy 🙂

Great news👍

Fuel pump you say, I have a facet barrel type that has a filter within the housing, you can empty it, but......I do have a filter before it and I have the pump below the tank.
The pressure on my gauge out the back to the carbines is approx 3 psi which is good.

I personally would do away with the carbs and dizzy and go for EFi. either MS or delco based system.

I have a genuine USA made facet low pressure electric fuel pump for sale for 50 bucks if you're interested...
I'm at mt Gravatt.

theres nothing wrong with stock carbs if there looked after and setup right , vw werent idiots .. just make sure all surfaces are flat where a gasket sits and shafts are within tolerance , i've converted the linkage to aftermarket ones and changed out the solenoids on the side to fixed jets make sure the carbs are balanced and motors run sweet .
