I think it is but I'm not positive... Either way, make sure you get a PO10 carb and an individual runner manifold. Runs smooth as stock Smile

How is the fuel economy with the Zenith 2-barrel compared to the single 28 or 30 pict carb? I have heard 2-barrels will give a little more economy, but never tried one myself.

Performance center mount carbs are not known for mileage, mine got around 22-23mpg city (original VW built 1600 with 120k+ miles, header w/glasspack, 010). I did spend a lot of time tuning it (for performance, not milage) with a LM-1, it was dialed in very well and was smooth as stock. I really loved that setup!

on a 1200 mileage it's going to be way worse than with the stock carb
