    If I'm not mistaken this one had dual side draft Mukuni's or Delortos, a speed package that requires a little extra tuning on the top end.

    Nope fuel injected and turboed KA24E. This thing is probably insanely fast.

    Webers are reliable and there used to be plenty of near identicle Holley Pinto carbs around which were Holley-patended Weber-alikes.
    I once replaced the overly complicated Solex carb in my Opel GT with a Holley. It took me awhile to get the linkage right. But, it ran perfect afterwards. I used one of those to replace a Weber on a FIAT 124 convertible, after the Weber caught fire. The Holley ran nice in there too
