For the most part the Single carb works well for me. My car is no street racer but it keeps up with traffic an if I have to get ahead of somebody I usually can. I don't find any distinct hesitation point when things are working properly and the carb is very simple to keep working. Most of my hesitation problems have been related to ignition. I compare my car to the Vauxhall of similar vintage I once had and I would have to say the VW is superior in every way! That being said I want dual carbs anyway! I want the extra 22% power gain or whatever it is. My question is will the duals fit my early engine bay? I already had to make some small cuts and bend the tin in there to fit my 65 single carb motor.
