Carbs

Hello all

still trying to decide on my new engine rebuild.

I am allways looking to save a bit of money by thinking "out of the box".

So , I was thinking that a carb from a non vw should work on a vw. some
well, some not so.

Thinking scrapyard (junkyard) carbs, has anyone any knowledge on a
carb that world work well with a type 1 engine ? I was thinking - for
example a ford webber might give better performance than a pict xx and
from a scrappy would be at the right price :-)
