Hello, just wanted to post my car, its a 1.7 16v alfa sprint, originally fitted with a 1.7 8v engine. I've shoehorned an alfa 33 1.7 16v engine in and thrown away the fuel injection. I have also fitted two weber 40 idf carbs, the noise of the flat four is just awesome in comparison to injection! The correct timing curve was achieved using megajolt ignition, this really made a difference over the the stock dizzy, and I would recommend it to anyone with an older car on carbs. Rolling road indicated 148 bhp at 5800rpm pretty good for a 1.7 16v unmodified mechanically. I've spent six months on and off welding after all, it is an old alfa, but drives great and puts a smile on my face every time I press the loud pedal. Cheers Lee  |

I bet it sounds the bo11ox, I am amazed by the racket mine makes thanks to these carbs, would surely be totally illegal if it was a new car. Gurgling and farting and what have you. Normally I hate carbs but I can see the appeal here.
