Solex/Weber? Need a carb for my '68 2002 project.

[Tomme2002Tone]

Howdy - first I'm a newbie to the forum - so glad to be here.

 

I had 4 '02s in the early 80s (how i miss my '73tii) and am just now getting back into them - doing a '68 ground up resto. Car has really good bones but will need a carb and thought I'd start here. I have dual Webers on my e9 and really like them. Not sure what is most practical for my build. I'd like to keep stock manifold and am not building a hot rod so any ideas on Solex v Webers v ? is appreciated as well as where to source. (Will be sourcing more parts once I get the car delivered and inventoried so thanks in advance.) - Tom

Welcome to the forum. You'll find lots of great info and helpful people here.

 

The factory 2 barrel Solex carbs were OK when new but had issues as they aged.

 

Most people run a Weber 32/36 or a 38/38 for a little more power.

 

I would suggest you place an ad in the wanted section.

I have an almost new 38/38 w/ electric choke and some extra jets, and a manifold, if needed. Was running like a top when I removed it last week in favor of Dellortos

Howdy - jerry has a manifold and Weber he’s looking for and if for any reason that doesn’t work out I’ll circle back - appreciate the replies gents.
