DUAL CARB DOUBLE BARREL.

Their enclosed instructions are good

Can you tell me anything about what kind of air filter that is.

Thanks

I don't know - There's no markings. They're what comes with the kit, so I would guess EMPI -- http://www.jbugs.com/category/...es-air-cleaners.html

Technically those are dual "single barrel" carbs.  Dual barrel like Dellorto DRLA36/40 or equivalent Weber IDF40 have 2 throats/choke valves per carb. 

As Alan said follow instructions (link below) - easier to install if engine is out of car.  Just be careful to void air/vacuum leaks by over/under tightening bolts. Are you installing a fuel pressure regulator too?

Thanks, guys - Appreciated.

What are your views on going "commando" or using a gasket sealant?

Thanks for the instructions!! Mine didn't come with any instructions except a single page diagram! I built it fine, now that I look at the directions, thank goodness.

I thought 'going commando' was running around in your underwear, drunk.

I wanna partake in your parties, Ron!

VW used a metal gasket with the centrally mounted carburetor to get as much heat to the manifold as possible. Most people using dual carbs use a thick paper gasket to insulate the carbs from the heat of the heads. In a 1750 I built with dual 44IDF's I used a bakelite spacer between the heads and manifolds. At this time of year it might actually beneficial to mount the manifolds directly to the heads, but during the summer the carbs can get hot enough to boil the fuel in the bowls. Al
