Twin carbs

Im getting my 40s fitted either this weekend or next has anyone got any useful info they can give me ?

if youve got the correct spring type washers and nuts to fit to the manifold,dont tighten them up fully.

you can use a feeler gauge to get the correct gap in the washer,but just nip them far enough by eye.

Hi mate cheers,

Did you fit yours yourself ? will i need anything else as im swaping a complete setup from a mk2 golf to a mk1, will the fuel pump and everything work ok ?


Cheers

Also is it best to use filter socks or make an airbox with ram feed ?

anddddd one more thing what sort of heatsheliding do i need on an 8v ? ive got a half heatwrapped tsr 421 manifold.

Oddly enough I think measured my manifold up and my carbs with trumpets and filters and found that I cannot get twin 40's to fit.

Left me stumped, so I will be glad to know how you get on.

 

Thats strange here the set in question in my red mk2

 

Sam, what size fuel pressure regulator have you used?

 

most say that filter socks restrict air flow more so than a box/filter,but any filters are gonna restrict a little.

ive always used socks as i just prefer the simple look and easy on off use.

nice clean none restricting airflow there

 

Ive got some killer cold air feeds up my sleve

luke w i dont have a clue mate i just bought the mk2 for the carbs to put on to my cab

 

you going to mod the bluk head? ive seen that done before, make a custom airbox to fit in the bulk head,
