I'm not sure, but I think '74 buses came with dual carbs.
The fuel tanks are different for fuel injected buses so dual carbs would be the way to go.

Sell them both and get an early bay or trade them for an early bay, later bays are cool but the upright engine bays are cooler.imo.

Yes, I think you are correct on that. So I need the intake and the carbs and it looks like the fan and housing are also missing. I will dig into it tonight and repost.

I am going to keep the 74 and get it running with the help of another samba member that has offered to help. Anyone interested in any 68 parts? The motor is good and the bus is driving but there is just too much rust to be worth it.
