1600cc Dual Port at a glance?

I'm hunting for a Beetle and unfortunately it sometimes happens that the person placing the ad omits the "dp" from the ad.

Is there an easy way, by looking at the photo of the engine, to deterime if it's a dual or, single port?

Thanks, Frank

Just look at the intake manifolds. The single port is a one piece manifold with single "tubes" on both sides. The dual port is a 3 piece manifold (when using the stock carb) and has double "tubes" going to the heads.

This is an example of a single port, notice there is just one tube going to the head (the heat riser doesn't count).

This is a dual port using the stock carb. Notice the red things with clamps that keep the 3 piece manifold together. Also, there are twin tubes going to the heads.

This one is a dual port with double 2bbl carbs. This time there is no 3 piece manifold, but the intakes have twin ports.

Hope it helps, Karls
