Ah! So YOU'RE the one that started this! :-)
You've certainly made a well-informed decision! I
suggest the TWM intake manifold for this, although
it'll probably be easier to install one of the prefab
kits from Moss, Vickie Brit, etc.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

>From the original poster:
I think I've decided the best choice is the progressive downdraft (32/36 =
DGV Weber). Although I've received mixed reports from the list, most =
people concur the DCOE will work, but trying to keep the monster under =
control will be more trouble than it's worth.
I don't intend to race the car, but I do intend to drive the Hell out of =
it every once in a while. I'd like to get plenty of power from her, but =
I don't want to have to retune every two weeks, either; the bulk of the =
advice, therefore, leads me to choose the DGV.
Final questions:
I believe this engine has stock low compression pistons. Is this right?
If so, would high compression pistons behoove?
How about a road speed cam?
I have electronic ignition, yet most people seem to recommend dual-point =
mechanical advance distribution. Any comments?

If the carb setting is good,it is very responsive=20
and more powerfull than ZS or SU (at least I feel so). =20
Hence the need for dyno tuning
I feel I should mention that the engine vibration increase =20
and the parcolation(spelling?? A phenomena the gas boil in carb or fuel =
hose)
happen from engine heat.
I have not run into either of these problems on my
'B.
Still more,(On the whole),1500 engine is not high speed rotation type.=20
The weber is suited to the high speed rotation.
The Weber does just fine on low R's, if the choke
choice is correct. My rule of thumb is pick the=20
smallest size you think you can live with, then go
one smaller :-)
So I feel that
if midget 1500 engine is stook,the weber carb is way too much for the =
engine
(Especially US type(low compression engine)).
A 40 DCOE with the proper chokes would work
fine on this engine IMHO. Guess we'll have to
wait to see what the individual that started this thread
does!
