| I'd like to put some twin carbs on my '65 cabrio, it's a single port but a 1300 which kind of limits my options - what are my options? anyone got anything they want to get rid of? |

I gather one of the EMPI kits os more or less a direct copy of this setup. Or Riechert. |

| Bernd Riechert speaks good enough english to explain what you're looking for - he's a very helpful and friendly chap who helped me out a lot, he jetted the carbs to the spec I gave him (by email after I discussed it on the phone) and flow benched them before they were sent out, and they worked a treat straight out of the box. |
