no problem..i don't know if you could have searched that...i covered that issue in the past..and it was more beneficial that here because of the area.....if you want to know what carb...it really is up to personal preference...if you search weber under the 1st gen section you will find a lot...like i said if you are going to be above 4500 a lot go with the weber 48 ida..if not you could go with a 45 dcoe...or a sterling carb...sterling are cheaper...but i think that side drafts are cooler looking...thats why i just bought my dellorto..gonna be a while till i put it on..lots of parts to get...

Now correct me if i am wrong. The sidedraft is the weber that goes to the side?

The Dellorto is a knock off weber?

Upgrades include: fuel pump, filter, regulator?

ok...dellorto..is not a knock off...it is a better improvement upon..the weber..racing beat...modified very few for the rx7...the side draft...either goes to the side..or on top of the 12a and the down draft you could say with the mainfold on makes an L shape...for fuel..that is about right...make sure you get an regulator...that is low so like 1-4 psi...unless you go with a holley carb..then i think you might need a lil more..

here are pics of an dellorto side draft..the webers are the same...

It is still ok to put the pump and regulator with the stock carb right?

Wrong answer!

What you are going to do is start using the search function please. That is what it is for and we have too many redundant threads on many subjects. If you want to contribute to this club then you will find a thread on the subject that you are pursuing. If it does not contain the all of the information that you are looking for then you are expected to bump up that thread with your question. That way we can add to the thread to make it more informative so that it is useful in the future.

Thank you for participating in the help yourself program.

Doc.
