hello buddy,
i have fitted Yamaha R1 bike carbs to my 2.1 pinto. you will have to have a manifold made unless you are any good at welding and you can make your
own. they are very easy to fit and they seem to do the job well. they are very efficient and give a good performance, well as far as i know, but mine
arn't balanced and my engine isn't tuned yet either
hope this helps
Al
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Don't know if its of interest, but contact "Rodocog", he is changing his carbs, so may have the manifold, and carbs for sale
shortly. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

definitley worth the effort to change we used zx9 carbs and the increase in power, smoothness and economy were significant, they seem to be very
reliable as well once set up, they stay in tune and are in expensive when compared to webbers. we also drilled out the standard jets so no need to buy
replacements.

Thanks to all for the info. It is looking like
ZX9R carbs would be a good choose. Webers cost too much and take up alot of room.
Thanks again Rob
