A '71 should have a 1600 Dual Port, but that doesn't really mean anything. Could have been built bigger, or the engine
wasn't originally from the Super!

A similar bentley manual might exist for ghias. Maybe stating the obvious here, but are you sure you are getting fuel and your pump is working properly and inlet isn't clogged? Has it been sitting for a while? From what I've seen in other cars and engines, sometimes you need to re-prime the pump by putting some clean fuel in the carb bowl (spray it in through the inlet) to get it going. It sometimes takes a while to start it. Remco |
