Kads are Ok....but....
All dependes what you want to pay. New Kads are well over the $1k mark. For less you can pick up a real good 2nd hand set of dual 2 barrels ie
IDF's DRLA's DCNF's etc
You CAN just wack on a set of Kads to a stock 1600 and get some improvement.
I have known a "few" people who have picked up good Kads for under $400......
And i knew a few people who have paid $2k for new 44 IDF's.......and i knew who was happier..
Cry once (says me who bought 2 nd stuff and needs to replace some of it)

There was a set of Kadrons in the Melb Trading Post last week for $400. I like the Kadrons because they have more "period/classic" than the
Webers.

Yep...that is not bad....but be aware you could be up for another $100 or 2 if the linkage is trash.
You also have trouble getting rebuild kits for them.....just not as easy as IDF's.
IF they came in at $600 for a little bit more you can have IDF's..........MUCH more tuneability(?)

kadron rebuild kits are easy to source up here in sunny Brisbane. We fitted a set to my mates 1916 and whilst it dose'nt pull like it would with
some 44~48 webbers it runs just fine, in fact a little to rich. I'm
not sure I'd for out 1K for them though at that price injection is
starting to look like an easier option. |

Kadron Carbies??
yeah i would like to add me two cents to the original post. I currently have twin kadrons on my stock 1641 and they are just awesome, as is the sound,
so naturally i would recommend them to anyone if u can get a 2nd hand set. i paid $500 for mine 2nd hand and they are great.

No point

you can get single port manifolds if you look hard enough.
Once again - no point. You may as well put twin port heads on. Cheaper and easier
