Sorry this is off topic, but I thought that anyone smart enough to own
an Alpine or Tiger has probably had contact with Porsches in the past (:-> winking smiley

.

Can anyone advise the exact model of Solex carburetter that was used on
the very earliest 911s? I believe the 40PI 1 was used on later 911s, but
am not sure if this was the carb used on the earliest cars.

Thanks

John,

According to the Bruce Anderson book, the early 911 (911/01 to be exact) used
a Solex 40 PI carb, with the unusual overflow/return fuel pump set-up. They
soon
switched to Webers.
