god that looks rough. where are the big O rings? or did they just put some RTV between manifold and carb?
I just quickly mated it to the manifold, no gasket used, and only in place with a single bolt - purely for getting the pictures taken with the manifold.
Others: HIF44 is not an option, I have the three options stated in the original post.
..I think I'll got for the double HS4 setup, but I have to try the weber to see how it fares now that you all seem to hate webers ;)
I for one love webers but as most have advised above they are not really needed on a road car.
Its not as simple as just trying a weber.
The chokes, auxilliary venturi, emulsion tubes and jetting could be for anything from an Hillman imp to an RS2000.
Its guaranteed that it will not suit your engine and as I said above that carb may well need £150 spending before fitting.
After its fitted with the best estimated chokes and jetting it then needs a rolling road session asap to make sure the fueling is not doing any damage, and then optimising, which takes time....otherwise you are wasting your time and money, and will no doubt be disappointed.
Weber carbs are a fantastic instrument they are very precise with endless combinations chokes/venturi/jets/air correctors but when set up correctly take some beating but generally below 5000 revs a HIF44 will win on both BHP and Torque.
If you send the carb to me I can strip it and see how its jetted and see if its anywhere in the ballpark for your setup.
I will do that for nothing, PM me.
