40 IDF Dual Carburetor Kit w/ Linkage and Air Cleaners

The Weber 43-7341 is a dual carburetor kit meticulously engineered by EMPI for the Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback, Squareback, and Notchback models equipped with dual-port cylinder heads. This kit aims to elevate the performance of your air-cooled VW, providing enhanced throttle response, increased horsepower, and the reliability expected from Weber components. The specialized aluminum intake manifolds are designed with a low profile to clear the rear luggage floor, ensuring a direct and efficient air-fuel mixture path to your cylinder heads. At the core of this kit are two authentic Weber 40 IDF carburetors, renowned for their tunability and robust construction. The accompanying heavy-duty hex bar linkage system utilizes aircraft-quality rod ends to maintain precise synchronization across the RPM range, eliminating the "slop" found in lesser kits. The package is comprehensive, including high-flow chrome air cleaners with washable gauze elements for both aesthetic appeal and engine protection. Internal components are standard Weber, making them fully compatible with HPMX and IDF jets for fine-tuning to your specific engine setup, including displacements from 1600cc up to 1776cc-1914cc performance builds. **Fitment:** * Volkswagen Type 3 Notchback: 1961 - 1973 (Dual Port Models) * Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback (Variant): 1962 - 1973 (Dual Port Models) * Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback: 1966 - 1973 (Dual Port Models) **Specifications:** * Carburetor Model: Genuine Dual Weber 40 IDF * Venturi Size: 28mm (Factory Installed) * Intake Manifolds: Low-profile cast aluminum * Linkage Type: Hex-bar style with aircraft-grade rod ends * Air Filters: Chrome-topped high-flow assemblies * Jet Compatibility: Standard Weber IDF and EMPI HPMX **Important Considerations:** * Engine tin modifications or clearance checks may be required depending on your specific year and model configuration. * A fuel pressure regulator set to 3.0-3.5 PSI is crucial, as Weber carburetors are sensitive to excessive fuel pressure. * Proper routing of fuel lines away from engine heat and ensuring the integrity of engine cooling tin are vital to prevent "vapor lock" and maintain stable air-fuel ratios.
