The EMPI 40K Deluxe Kadron Carburetor Kit is a faithful reproduction of the original Brazilian Solex/Brosol sidedraft carburetors that earned the Kadron name a cult following in the air-cooled VW community. Smoother and more streetable than a Weber IDF or HPMX, with the period-correct look restoration enthusiasts and Cal-Look builders love.

Kit Includes

  • Two EMPI 40K carburetors (40mm, pre-jetted, left and right side specific)
  • Aluminum intake manifolds
  • EMPI Deluxe Twist Linkage with sealed aircraft Heim rod ends
  • Chrome top air cleaners with high-flow gauze elements
  • Brass fuel tee fitting and fuel line
  • Manifold gaskets and complete mounting hardware

Why Kadron Over IDF / HPMX

Kadron-style carbs are progressive single-barrel sidedrafts — simpler internally than a Weber IDF and easier to tune for street use. They make excellent torque on stock-to-mild 1600cc engines, idle smoothly, and don't require the constant fiddling some Weber owners deal with. The trade-off: they don't have the top-end potential of a 44mm IDF/HPMX for high-rpm performance builds. For street driving, weekend cruising, and resto-cal builds, Kadrons are hard to beat.

Fitment

  • VW Type 1 dual-port engines (1600cc and up)
  • Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus (Type 2 with Type 1 conversion), Buggy, Baja
  • Compatible with stock fan shroud (unlike many IDF kits)
  • For 1700-2000cc Bus and Type 4 engines, use EMPI 43-4431 instead

Improvements Over Original Brosol/Solex

  • Extended carburetor base accommodates more air cleaner options including EMPI velocity stacks
  • Brass vent tube prevents flooding on off-road and drag applications
  • Vacuum improvements support single vacuum-advance distributors without affecting idle

Shipping & Box Size

  • Approximate carton: 22 × 16 × 12 inches
  • Approximate weight: 22 lbs
  • Ships UPS/FedEx Ground from California
  • Oversized box — additional handling fees may apply outside the contiguous US
  • Final freight rates calculated at checkout

Installation note: Pre-jetted for typical 1600cc applications. Larger displacement or modified engines may need jetting adjustments. A vacuum-assisted distributor is recommended for best part-throttle response. Use the EMPI Pro-Sync (43-5712-0 or 43-5718-0) for proper carb synchronization.

World War II - The Final Months
Format: Hardcover
The book takes you through the final months of World War II, focusing on eight key moments when the fighting finally came to an end. It’s not just a dry rundown of facts or battle maps — the authors do a great job of bringing the people involved to life, from famous leaders to everyday soldiers and civilians caught in the chaos. What I really liked was how the story moves around the globe, covering Europe, the Pacific, and beyond. It keeps the narrative fresh and exciting, giving a real sense of how the war unfolded on many fronts at once. Sometimes I had to pay close attention to keep up with all the locations and characters, but that only added to the feeling of being caught up in a fast-moving, gripping story rather than a history lesson. What stood out most was how it made me feel the human side of history—the fear, the relief, and the confusion as the war finally ended. It’s full of details, but it never felt boring or too technical.

The Fix
Format: Hardcover
An insightful and interesting book on how our country's first legislators try to make sense of the new and fairly short U.S. Constitution, which, being drafted by humans, was bound to be imperfect. A lack of clarity on some point might be due to the changeable nature of words themselves or to confusion or obscurity of thought by the authors. And, who were the authors? The men in the room who came up with the product or the various state conventions that approved the final product? Professor Gienapp writes well and with a fine grasp of his subject. He uses concrete examples to illustrate his main points. For example, Congressional debates over the constitutionality of a proposed federal bank, the ratification of Jay's Treaty, and even whether the Bill of Rights was to be incorporated into or simply added to the original document. Most people think of U.S. constitutional history in terms of its drafting and ratification and/or its later judicial interpretation by the Supreme Court. Here, Professor Gienapp focuses on the initial work of interpretation by the first few sessions of Congress. This book is essential reading for those interested in the U.S. Constitution and the internal architecture of our government. I think those who spend countless hours viewing frenetic talking heads say this or that about the constitutionality of some issue or another (or the nomination of a justice to the High Court) should throw their television set out the window and, instead, settle into a corner chair and calmly read this and other such thoughtful books. This one should win prizes.

Excellent Book
Format: Hardcover
Stanford University History Professor Gienapp has done an outstanding job of researching and writing this historical analysis of the interpretation of the American Constitution by America's first Congress. Professor Gienapp analyzes data primarily from Congress's problems interpreting the removable of executive officers, chartering a national bank and approval of the 1794 Treaty with Great Britain negotiated by Chief Justice John Jay, the "Jay Treaty." Gienapp shows in clear writing how Congress used records of the debates at the Constitutional Convention and State Ratification Conventions to resolve these constitutional issues. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned with the interpretation of the American Constitution.
