The Holley Bugspray is not a progressive carb. FWIW, I've never seen dual Bugspray's Title: Re: Dual Holley Bugspray... Post by: El Dub on June 01, 2011, 18:58:30 pm My mistake. I always thought the bugspray I put in my GTV was a progressive carb...

Post by: Fastbrit on June 02, 2011, 09:31:03 am Back in the mid-1970s, we had a customer at Autocavan who fitted twin Bugsprays to his 69 x 88 motor in a Beetle. It ran OK, but suffered from flatspots and gave terrible fuel economy. He swapped them for dual 34ICT Webers and never looked back.
Title: Re: Dual Holley Bugspray... Post by: xavier on June 02, 2011, 10:00:22 am I bought a set of duals. They came on Race Trim manifolds. Both NOS. They came along with a used Berg linkage.
I would like to run an 'unusaul' set-up...Kind of 'Dare to be different!' Fuel economy would not be my primary concern as it would be a week-end cruiser/warrior :P Motor should be a 69x88(NOS set of c/p already in my possesion) or a 74x88 with a 110 cam. Heads? Depends if I go duals or single. I would like to try single ports. I read that single set-up tends to ice up. But I should not drive the car too much in winter or damp conditions...mmmh I will not drive it much then as I am living in Belgium :D I am more concern about flatspots during acceleration >:( What can be done o avoid that? Thank you. Xavier PS: What about a single Solex 40PII? Yeah why not ;D |
