I just picked up over the weekend a '64 Econoline eight door panel van and have a ton of questions. I've been into Volkswagens forever and am stepping out of my norm a bit on this one.

The carb had a choke problem or something so I pulled it out and am looking at getting a weber conversion kit. Has anyone here ever used a weber on their Econoline? How well does it work? I'm thinking about an electric choke, 2 bbl, progessive carb.

I am also looking for a ton of parts. Thakfully there isn't much inside this van. I need a set of front seats and the brakets that go on the wheel hump for starters. Any help would be great. Thanks, Dan

As to the carb question...ive never heard of anyone on here doing a Weber carb on their engine...as to the seat brackets...I may be able to help...post your email and I will reply.

Thanks For you help with the seat situation. Do you have a set of seats to go along with that braket? my email is dspaben@aol dot com. I have a carb swap kit on order from a place called Classic Inlines. So I guess we'll see how well it works.
