friend of mine has a pierburg 2e sitting on his 1.4 - legend said i could have it. cheers 'djshaggeh'

1 - what manifold do i need ?
2 - can i use the manual choke from my current pierburg 1b to replace the auto choke on the 2e ?
3 - anything else i need for the conversion ?
4 - will it run allright with the larger jet ?
5 - what will i expect to gain from it ?

if i remember rightly the 2e is twin choke therefore it wont fit your 1.2 manifold

A 1.3 manifold should make it fit. However you'll need to have the carb rejetted and setup properly in order to have any real gains, and for the price of having that done (circa £100-150), you may aswell buy a weber 32/34 for another £50 and not have to suffer the auto choke.

With the 2e you stand to gain a few ponies after a proper setup, and you lose the manual choke.

With the 32/34 you'll gain a few more ponies after a proper setup, and you get to keep the manual choke.
