EMPI EPC 34 Carburetor | VW Type 1/2/3 | Side-Draft 34mm Single-Barrel for Dual Setup (43-1016-1)

EMPI EPC 34 Side-Draft Single-Barrel Carburetor — Carb Only (43-1016-1)

The EMPI EPC 34 is a side-draft single-barrel carburetor designed for dual-carb setups on Type 1 and Type 3 air-cooled VWs. Compared to the Weber 34 ICT it replaces, the EPC 34 delivers improved throttle response, cleaner fuel delivery, and greater all-around drivability — at a much friendlier price point. Sold individually; you'll need two for a complete dual-carb installation.

• VW Type 3: single-port and dual-port
• VW Type 2 Bus, Type 4, Porsche 914 (with Type 4 manifolds)
