JIM INGLESE 8-STACK SYSTEMS

Your single source for Weber carburetion and 8-stack fuel injection for Cobras, Daytona Coupes, GT40s, and ALL GM high-performance V8's.  

If you're searching for the right place to buy a high-performance 8-stack induction system, this is the red "X" on your treasure map.  We're glad you found us and we'd love to be a part of your project and build something that sets your car apart from the rest.

As America's oldest 8-stack induction system builder in business today, we've been building V8 Weber carburetion systems for American V8's for over 45 years.  Modern technology also allowed us to become specialists in 8-stack electronic fuel injection as well.  So if it has 8 stacks, we build it.  You are invited to take advantage of our experience and knowledge by reading through this website and calling us with your list of questions so you can make a well-informed decision. 

When it comes to visuals, nothing compares to an engine outfitted with an 8-stack induction unit.  Few people can walk by one of those engines without stopping to look.  That’s the magnetic attraction of an 8-stack engine...they just look fabulous.  It sets any vehicle apart from all others around it.  A show car's engine is  "the icing on the cake". 

We ship all over the world and we're the only custom induction shop on Planet Earth where you can buy either a genuine Weber 8-stack carburetion system or a modern 8-stack EFI from the same place.  We offer more choices than any other source.  And when you call here, you'll be talking to the owner of the company, Jim Inglese, not a salesperson.  So when a prospective customer says to us, “I can get basically the same thing from another place much cheaper" our response is, “No you can’t.”    

GET IT ALL WITH ONE CALL
There are some important considerations for a conversion like this.  We'll make sure you get everything you need and never send you off to buy any ancillary components on your own.  So if you don't already have a compatible ignition system, we'll recommend  one for your application and provide it if you like.  If you need a fuel pump, we'll include the one you need.  If you're buying an EFI, we'll select the right ECU for the engine and transmission you have, and we offer vehicle-specific throttle linkage conversions for many popular applications.  

Bottom line, we want this to be easy for you.  You won't need to figure out any of those "other" details yourself.  All of our packages are designed to be customer-friendly, so no matter what you ultimately decide upon, we'll provide everything in one package for you.  And we offer something very unique in this business...a fully detailed instruction manual to guide you along. 

GENUINE WEBER SALES AND SERVICE
As a Weber carburetion sales & service center since 1979, we sell and service only GENUINE WEBER carburetors.  They were originally manufactured in Bologna, Italy, and then in 1992, production was moved to Madrid, Spain where they continue to be made today.  There are only two international distributors of Weber carburetors:  One is Webcon in the UK and the other is WorldPac (Redline/Weber) in the U.S.A. 

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEIT WEBERS 
Chinese copies of Weber carburetors abound and are made by at least three companies.  The copies are sold at half the price of real Weber carburetors but they are labeled and sold as Weber carburetors, which they're NOT.  Their deficiencies include what you would expect from anything made in China...sloppy drilling, inconsistent machining, and inaccurately calibrated metering parts.  These flaws show up during idle or cruise, where engines spend almost all their time.  Those Chinese copies look identical to genuine Webers, but they're low-quality, just like everything made in China.  As carburetors go, they're junk.

* (Basic law of business:  "You can't get the highest quality for the lowest price -- you will get what you pay for".  

We don’t service or repair any Chinese-made Weber copies   The carburetors manufactured in Italy or Spain say MADE IN SPAIN  or BOLOGNA ITALY.  And there's a simple way for you to identify fake Weber carburetors.  All Chinese copies say MADE IN ______  with the country of origin left blank.  No country of origin: Chinese copy. 

ALSO BEWARE OF CHINESE EFI's
You've probably already seen these on the internet.  They sell for about $2400 and come unassembled and incomplete....but that price is a lure to reel-in unsuspecting customers who don't know any better, so be careful.  The Chinese EFI's come with no injectors, no sensors, and no ECU...you'll need to figure all that out yourself, and in the end, YOU WILL PAY.  The buyers who actually manage to get one running soon find out they run badly and are impossible to tune.  And when he calls where he bought it to get some help, he finds out there's no one there to answer his questions.  That's because the dealers that sell those Chinese EFI's don't know anything about fuel injection and they're just order-takers.  

If you know the name of the Chinese EFI company I'm talking about, click on this link and put their name into the search box:  https://www.pissedconsumer.com/   As of August 2024, 84 customer reviews had earned them an amazing 83% NEGATIVE RATING and just  1.8 Stars.  Be sure to read all the reviews if you are even considering one of those Chinese EFI's.

We don't provide support for anything made in China, no matter what it is, so be careful before you buy.  Here's one more simple basic law of business to remember:  "If it looks too good to be true, it is...and it always comes with a price".

EARLY YEARS
The photo below is from my archives.  I've been doing this for a long time.  Back in the day, I actually got to tune three of the original six Daytona Coupes by being in the right place at the right time.  I traveled around to tracks with my fishing tackle box filled with Weber jets and carburetor parts and whenever I flew somewhere, that box was right there with me on the plane.  This photo was taken sometime during the mid-70s at Bridgehampton, so this Daytona Coupe was only about ten years old then... and I was 30-something.  

Back then, we never imagined that those cars would become priceless historic racecars.  But even then, I jumped at the chance to get my hands on one of them.  I never charged anybody (I was so glad to work on one that I would have paid them for the privilege).  And I'm happy to still be doing it today.

Tuning a Daytona Coupe back then was a privilege I really enjoyed.  I was young and still had hair back then ...and I had no idea how silly I looked in those short gym shorts. 

If you're curious about Weber carburetion or thinking of putting an 8-stack EFI unit on your car, this is the website where you'll find the answers to your questions. And if you don't see the information you need, just call me.  I’ll be the one answering the phone and I'm happy to spend time with you to answer your questions.  When you call, there's no receptionist, no recorded voice loop, no extension choices, and you won’t have to press #1 for English.  I'm the one who answers your call.

We can build you an EFI unit with modern throttle bodies or one that looks just like a Weber carburetion.  You’d have to be an expert to know it’s an EFI.  

We offer the world's largest selection of V8 8-stack systems and associated specialty parts for Cobras, GT40's, Early Mustangs, Corvettes, and custom vehicles, from all-out racing units for vintage race cars to "jewelry" for world-class show cars.  We are the world's leading producer of 8-stack induction systems for Cobras and GT40's, and we also manufacture accessories and ancillary components for additional authenticity.

Besides the performance increase you'll experience with this type of induction system, there is of course the visual benefit.  When you open your hood at your next car show, nobody will ever yawn and walk by again.  People will stop in their tracks to look at your engine. There will be lots of questions. 

Most likely, you've heard the good, the bad, and the ugly about Weber carburetors. Some people say they work great...others say Weber carburetors are nothing but trouble. On this website, I'm providing you with factual information about Weber carburetion based on decades of experience building and tuning Weber carburetion on V8's.  My data is factual, based on real-world dyno tuning sessions on Weber-carbureted V8's since before replicas existed of the popular sports and racing cars available today.

After reading the information on this website, one thing is for sure...you'll be a lot smarter when you leave.  Rule #1 is "Forget whatever else you've heard about Webers".

If you’re here because you’re interested in EFI, I'll be happy to discuss your project with you and suggest a complete package tailored for you, to match your engine and vehicle.  

An Overview

We don't just assemble induction units, we approach what we do here as art.  Our goal is to be the leader in the industry and that means giving every customer more than what they expect.  We are driven by a desire for excellence and we strive for a product that shows our commitment to attention to detail.

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."  ECCL 9:10

Every 8-stack system is built to order and matched to the engine and vehicle it's intended for. There are no assembled units all finished and sitting on the shelf.  Each one is created for its application. When you place your order,  we'll work on the phone with you to create the build sheet that the shop will use as the instructions for your induction unit.  We then generate an invoice we'll email for your approval.  This two-step process ensures that we have all the details correct.

I offer more V8 applications and related accessories than any other Weber or EFI 8-stack shop in the world, so if you're planning on putting an 8-stack system on a V8, this is the only website where you'll find the information you're going to see here.

If you email me with your questions, you'll usually hear back from me the same day. I check emails several times a day and I answer everybody.  And when you call, I'm still the only one who answers the phone.

Other sources offer similar products, and some are temptingly cheaper, but with a product such as this, expect to get what you pay for.  As they say, there's no "free lunch".  I won't ship anything with my label on it unless it's 100% right.  You can rely on that.

If you're buying Webers, my 13-page Weber instruction manual takes you right through the entire setup process, from gas pedal adjustment to fuel pressure to ignition timing to synchronizing the four carburetors. I leave no room for error.  If you're buying an EFI, I supply a comprehensive technical data and instruction manual of about 30 pages, including online resources.  Other EFI companies don't supply anything close to that for instructions, and most other companies supply no instructions at all. 

My #1 goal is for every installation to be a 100% success.  We supply EVERYTHING you will need, including an ignition system if you don't have one you can use with EFI. When you place your order, I'll take you through a complete worksheet to determine exactly what you'll need, and we'll provide it all.

Customer Service is of paramount importance to me, as I know it is with you.

My personal support continues well beyond the sale and is always included at no charge once you place your order.  You will find this to be a very personal experience. You'll have my cell phone number and I provide unlimited support until your carburetion system or EFI runs perfectly.  Email anyone else in this business and ask what they provide for instructions, and after-sale support by phone and email. Tell them you need somebody's cell phone number and a guarantee that they will respond to your emails within only a few hours, day or night. They'll laugh at you, of course,  and think you're nuts. I usually check emails for the last time at 8 pm.  I also answer emails on weekends.

We realize that for some buyers, the major selling point for them is the price.  For some companies, a low price is their one-and-only sales advantage.  But whenever you pay a lower price, remember to expect less.  No matter what you buy, the best product never has the lowest price; that's just a basic law of business.  

If you already own a Weber 8-stack system that came from somebody else and it needs work, we'll correct it for you, but there's a catch..... First, you are required to watch this video

So why are There Two "Inglese" Companies?

There's a lot of confusion about INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS vs. JIM INGLESE 8-STACK SYSTEMS, and I'm really sorry about all that. They're actually two separate companies that are in no way connected.  I know everybody wonders how this can be.

INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS was my original company, founded in 1980.  I sold that company a long time ago and then I came back into it under my own name as JIM INGLESE EIGHT STACK SYSTEMS.  The original company, INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS, was owned by Comp Cams in Tennessee, and our two companies, while sharing the name, were never affiliated.  Today, that company (INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS) is no longer in business. Now it's just me again, Jim Inglese Eight-Stack Systems, and there is much less confusion.

My assemblies show my signature on the label as shown below. If this label isn't on the front carburetor or throttle body, it wasn't built here.  Anything with this label carries my personal guarantee that I've invested my experience and reputation into that assembly.

I invite you to come in and have a look around these pages. If you're looking for useful information, I think you're really going to enjoy this website.  If you'd like to talk about your project, please call or email me.  Please don't text me; I never see them or answer any texts.  Thank you.

The signature label also displays the website and phone.
