Rule of thumb for selecting the right carb(s) for your motor. Smaller Venturi = better low end torque while sacrificing top end. Larger venturi = higher top end while sacrificing low end torque. Your 1600 does not have a high top end to begin so low end torque is what you should be looking for, ie; smaller carb(s).

u can put a 40 or 44 weber,dont get empi heard about to many problems,but when u put a weber on it be ready for somebody to jet it for you,it could be a pain in the ass,and it could run good the first time

Does any body make a adapter or intake manifold that will let me use a automotive/holley 2 barrel carb on a vw ???? I have seen the 4 barrel manifolds but no 2barrel ones???

You can use a 4-barrel manifold, most 4-barrel carbs will bolt on where the 2 barrel ones go on, its just the difference on the v-8 manifolds, some got 2 holes, some got four holes, and some got one big hole and that's what the fourplay is like. I started out with the fourplay manifold and 2-barrel 550 holley and it runs great, but no good off-road, I could never get the thing to quit flooding out no matter what....so I switched to 4-barrel, still the same problem, just more power on level ground.

Re-jetting Weber carbs is fairly easy......it just takes time and patience. The Jets are easy to find for these webers.
I get all of mine from CB Performance...http://www.cbperformance.com/category.asp?CategoryID=6
or Pegaus Auto Racing....http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group. ... WEBERIDFPJ

Nope, if the carb that you want to run will not work on the 4-play, I bought a Holley 550 2 barrel and it bolted right on the 4-play manifold and the carb that you have, I dunno. Johnny's four-play does not have a website, I don't have a phone number for the place though.

The stock carb is one of the best carbs for a stock 1600. Adding dual carbs to a stock 1600 adds a whopping 5 hp while 10% it is not much gain for the money spent. Splitting the case and adding an Engle VZ 14 cam, along with a single Zenith or Weber will really wake it up. Some porting will help but is not needed. I've never tried a Holley Off road two barrel carb but it should work, the only disadvantage I can think of is not being able to change venturi size. Down the road a 76x90.5 (1955) with a VZ 14 cam, heads like Tims Stage Two heads and a single 40 Weber makes a killer bullet proof small engine. Same engine in 69x94 also runs great and is easier to build. http://www.aircooled.net has a good Weber IDF carburator tech section.
