They make excellent torque on stock-to-mild 1600cc engines, idle smoothly, and don't require the constant fiddling some Weber owners deal with. The trade-off: they don't have the top-end potential of a 44mm IDF\/HPMX for high-rpm performance builds. For street driving, weekend cruising, and resto-cal builds, Kadrons are hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Type 1 dual-port engines (1600cc and up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus (Type 2 with Type 1 conversion), Buggy, Baja\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with stock fan shroud (unlike many IDF kits)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor 1700-2000cc Bus and Type 4 engines, use EMPI 43-4431 instead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImprovements Over Original Brosol\/Solex\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended carburetor base accommodates more air cleaner options including EMPI velocity stacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass vent tube prevents flooding on off-road and drag applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVacuum improvements support single vacuum-advance distributors without affecting idle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Box Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate carton: 22 × 16 × 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate weight: 22 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips UPS\/FedEx Ground from California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOversized box — additional handling fees may apply outside the contiguous US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal freight rates calculated at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-jetted for typical 1600cc applications.
