Best vendor for IDF's

Post by amawds »

Like the title says, where's the best source of dual IDF kits? Vicks somehow sells a pair alone for dirt cheap which is probably made out of pressed tissue paper, autoricambi has one kit that requires some dremel work if I remember correctly, and another set for much more that is a direct bolt on, etc. Wondering what my best choice would be. Buy a kit? Or piece one together. I want quality carbs, preferably bolt on affair complete with linkages, and I'd prefer they are already pre-jetted for our cars so it'll at least run alright for a week or two until I take it to the dyno tuners for a full jet and tune.

Allison sells complete weber kits with manifold, and also another brand. The other brand is a copy of the webers but without the name, so that set is cheaper. I bought the webers because I wanted the name.

I purchased the economy set from Auto Ricambi for my 75 Spider, and have no complaints at all.
I had to jet them richer for my 1800 and make my own bracket to hold my throttle cable. Also had to buy fittings for the brake booster .
But that is the type of stuff you expect when doing such a change over.
I just drove the Spider to a local cars a and coffee in Folsom and aside from the performance difference. The look of the engine is more "serious" with dual carbs along with the sound they make as you run thru the gears. The car is much a lot more fun to drive since their installation. I love the way it pulls thru to 6K RPM with no hesistation.
Just my couple of cents.
I cant wait to get a set installed to my 124 Coupe.
