2.0 16v on carbs into a MK1???

[Wayne]

guys you keep banging on about old school feel and carbs and all that but,

and i was there in the early 80s and carbs were NOT A VIABLE OPTION BACK THEN!

why the hell do think vw opted for mechanical fuel injection?

and how come the audi quattro 10v rally cars ran a similar system? answer

cos it gave them a better fuelling system than carbs! 

+1 much better option.

if you want to run it on carbs, an easy option is a KR ignition control unit and loom.  personally, I'd go with the abf managment if you can get it cheap enough
