EMPI VW Dual Carburetor Kit - 40mm HPMX - Standard Manifolds - Type 1 - Chrome Air Cleaners

VW Dual Carb Kit for Type 1 Engines with 40 HPMX Carbs and Standard Manifolds

• Dual carburetors deliver more fuel and power for larger, mid-sized performance engines
• EMPI 40 HPMX carburetors are the best "Weber" style carburetors available
• Pre-tested with float levels checked and set
• Includes everything needed to upgrade from a single carburetor to dual carburetors

The EMPI 40 HPMX dual carburetor kit includes standard aluminum manifolds, which, due to their offset, will only work with 36-horsepower styled aftermarket fan shrouds. The 40 HPMX carburetors are test-run as a matched pair, pre-set for left and right sides, with float levels checked and adjusted. This dual carb kit includes aluminum hex bar linkage, chrome air cleaner assemblies, a coil relocation bracket, and all necessary hardware to convert from a single carburetor to a dual-carburetor setup. It fits 1500-1600cc-based Type 1 upright dual-port engines. The HPMX carburetors feature a vacuum port, allowing compatibility with vacuum advance distributors.

Our Expert's Take:

The Weber carburetors today aren't the same was what we had 20+ years ago. The EMPI HPMX carburetors are the best Weber IDF style carburetors out there and we now prefer these over anything with the Weber name. If you want dual carbs and you have a 1776cc-2000cc engine, the EMPI Dual 40 HPMX kit is the way to go.
