    He should have left in the electrical harness and just capped off the un-necessary bits. The poor thing would have ran..... Carbs are simple and straightforward, but the lack of simple troubleshooting and jumping the gun buying parts leads to an empty wallet, and another abandoned project....

    I'm not certain but I suspect the reason you don't see them for 16v's is because of the lack of hood clearance. The angle of the 16v ports together with the tilt of the engine means the ports angle up towards the hood and because the hood slopes down towards the front of the car there may not be enough space under the hood for a down draft carb and filter.
