Yeah theyre always on there but 40's are on and off. what displacement will your engine be?

Right now its looking like a 1641 since I have most of the parts already. But I think I want to build a 1915 or 2007 EFI turbo. When I'm done running them as carbs I want to turn them into throttle bodies. :)

Not sure if this is right or what, but I was looking at the newest issue of HotVWs, and found the 69 forged crank for $189. Right under it was a 78 crank for the same price....I THINK that what is on the CB Performance web site is a TYPE-O!! Its actually a 78 that is selling from the same price (NOT a 76), which is great too, but requires more than radiused con rods to make fit.

Maybe I'll call CBP, to get the real skinny.

Hmmm.:)

Well, i think im fairly set on a 69mm this time around. Next engine (after i have experience building) i might consider building a stroker, or a type-4

Well i got the Dellorto DRLA 40mm's for $169+ 34 shipping...And manifolds, linkage and all the hardware NEW for $75 shipped!
So i have a grand total of $278 bucks for the whole setup without filters!

I think i got myself a good deal Eh? :p :cool: :D

Exellent! Thanks for following my advice. You got a spankin deal just like I did!
What brand is the linkage, and is it from a dude in arizona?

Yeah, i liked the deal aswell :D now the question is if they are going to be in good condition once they arrive :O Im sure they will be so im not to worried, but ya never know with used stuff.
The linkage and manifolds i think are just stock weber stuff. The add is on the samba. they guy is close buy to. hes in Salem, Or

This is a pic of one of my 36's out of the box, roughly assembled on my new engine. You can see the two vacuum ports that you turn counter clockwise to open and connect a manometer to sync them. Only euro models have these, and also air bleed screws...

So the ports are to sync them?
They do look clean BTW! :D

Anyways, whats a good filter to use? K&N seams to be a option used A LOT...lol so thats what im thinking ;)

BTW here is the linkage and manifolds:

So what do i do about the stock vacuum stuff when i use dual carbs... i think i have a stock distributor what is vacuum advanced (74 super beetle) do i need to get a centrifical advance distributor?

They also come with these levers on the fan shroud side of the carb body that are an enrichment circuit that you attatch a pushpull cable to, like chokes, only without the plates. The alfa guy supplies these blockoff plates but no gaskets. I made mine from some simple grey gasket paper. Easy! Also there's this little black piston thing protruding from the top of the carbs. You have to take it out and use a dremel tool to cut it flush with the top, otherwise you can't mount the linkage plates ans filter bases. As for the studs that come with the carbs, they are too long, and I used 20mm long button head hex socket bolts inside the air cleaner to hold down the plates. Hope this helps. :agree:

That's the exact same kit that I have! Cool! I :laugh: It is exellent quality.
The left carb you see in the first picture has a vacuum port for the distributer, so hook it up to that. The right carb has none. Use a good quality cotton gauze air filter with k&n oil. Every few weeks pull out a filter and look through it form the inside to the sky and look for pin holes. if you see hundreds of bright white pinholes of light shining through, replace them. When the carbs cough they blow the cotton out more with each cough. Also fuel reversion in the carbs washes oil out of the filter down into the filter base. Re oil often. Probably once a month.
