JIM INGLESE 8-STACK SYSTEMS

Your single source for Weber carburetion and 8-stack fuel injection... specializing in Cobras, Daytona Coupes, GT40's, Lola, and all GM high-performance V8's.

How many car shows have you attended in your life …and how many engines have you looked at?  Think about that a minute.  Probably hundreds. Maybe even thousands.  The most common engine dress-up package seen on 99% of all show cars is a polished manifold, a pair of custom valve covers, a fancy air cleaner, and various other chrome accessories sold in blister packs.  

The styles and brands of the engine components vary, but after a while, it seems like we’re looking at the same engines over and over again ....while yawning.  Most of the time, we give the engines a brief glance and walk by without stopping.  Our brain subconsciously says, “Nothing to see here.”

But few people can walk by an engine with a stack injection system or Weber carburetion without stopping to look.  It’s like magnetic attraction, and that's what sets a vehicle apart from all the other ones around it.  When the hood goes up on a show car, the engine shouldn't be a disappointment...it should be the icing on the cake and should make peoples' eyeballs pop.

We are a different business than any other; completely unique in a market that offers thousands of products.  No other company in business today has produced as many V8 Weber carburetion systems as we have, because I started building these stack induction systems the 70's (and yes, I'm an old fart).  

When we got into EFI, we became a major producer of custom stack injections as well.  So, if you're looking for the right place to buy your 8-stack fuel injection or a Weber carburetion system, this is the red "X" on your treasure map.   We're glad you found us, and we'd love to build something for your engine that will set your car far apart from the rest of the crowd. 

Our induction systems can be found on V8 engines all over the world.  We're the only shop on Planet Earth where you can buy either Weber carburetion or an 8-stack EFI from one place.  We offer more applications than any other source, because we import manifolds and components from other countries (NEVER from China, by the way). 

When you call, I will speak with you myself.  Sometimes a prospective customer will say to me, “I can get basically the same thing from another source much cheaper.”   My answer always is, “No, you can’t.” 

Take Weber carburetors, for instance.  Genuine Weber carburetors were originally produced in Bologna, Italy until 1992 when production was moved to Madrid, Spain, where they continue to be made today.  There are only two international distributors of Weber carburetors, which are Webcon in the UK and WorldPac (Redline/Weber) in the U.S. 

Chinese copies of Weber carburetors are made by at least three companies and are sold at half the price of real Weber carburetors. They're labeled and sold as Weber carburetors, which, of course, they're NOT.  The quality varies due to inaccurate drilling and poorly calibrated parts, mostly noticeable during idle or cruise, which is where an engine spends about 95% of its time. All the Chinese copies look exactly like real Webers. The quality is what you would expect from anything made in China.  They're crap.  A basic law of business is you won't get the highest quality product for the lowest price.  When you pay a low price, you'll get what you pay for. 

WE PROVIDE NO SERVICE FOR ANY CHINESE PRODUCTS.

We don’t provide service, repair, or technical support for any Chinese-made products.   We only sell genuine Weber carburetors manufactured in the Weber factory in Spain, which say MADE IN SPAIN.  This is clearly visible on the side of the fuel bowl.  Unless they have that, they’re fakes. So, for service here, the carburetors MUST say either “Made in Spain” or “Made in Italy”.   If they're Chinese copies, they will say MADE IN ______  with the country of origin left blank.  

Our EFI throttle bodies and all their components are proudly Made in USA.

Buyer Beware:
There's one fuel injection manufacturer offering complete 8-stack fuel injection systems that are entirely made and assembled in China. These are being sold by some very big-name online parts sources and are of notoriously poor quality and they come with no service or technical support.  You may have seen them; they're always sold as "polished" units and are extremely cheap, which makes them really tempting to a novice buyer.  But whoever buys one of those EFI’s soon finds out they are incomplete, the unsuspecting buyer who later learns he's on his own.  They run very poorly, if at all.  The buyer then learns there's nobody to provide any help or to answer any technical questions after the sale, because none of the online big-name warehouse dealers selling them know anything about fuel injection.  They're just order-takers, not EFI specialists. Be careful.

We get a lot of calls from unfortunate buyers of those Chinese EFI's who can't get them to work. 

The photo below is from my archives.   I tuned three of the original Daytona Coupes over the years at various times and at different race tracks whenever they and I showed up somewhere at the same time. This photo was taken sometime during the mid-70s at Bridgehampton, so this Daytona Coupe was only about ten years old and I was 30-something at the time.   

Back then, we never imagined that those cars would become priceless historic racecars.  But even then, I relished any chance to have my hands on one of them.  I never charged anybody (I was so glad to work on those cars that if they'd asked me, I would have paid them).  I'm the last of the dinosaurs still building and servicing Weber carburetion for V8's. 

Here I am tweaking the Weber carbs on one of the six original Daytona Coupes "back in the day".  I was young and still had hair 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 you've been looking for. Most of the answers you need are here, and if you don't see the information you need, just call me.  I’ll be the one answering the phone.  There is no receptionist, no recorded voice loop, no extension choices, and you won’t have to press #1 for English.  

I'm happy to build you an EFI unit with modern throttle bodies or one that looks just like a Weber carburetion setup with hidden injectors inside the throttle bodies.  You’d have to be an expert to know it’s an EFI.  

I 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.   We also manufacture correct accessories and ancillary components for additional authenticity.

Besides the performance increase you'll experience with this type of induction system, there's a secondary 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 over 40 years of experience building and tuning Weber carburetion for V8's, so my data is factual, based on hands-on dyno testing and tuning...not opinion.  I started working on Weber-carbureted Cobras before replicas existed. 

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 put a complete package together for you, custom-tailored to match your engine and your vehicle.  

A thumbnail sketch

We don't just assemble induction units, we approach what we do here as art.  My goal is to be the best in the industry and that means giving every customer more than what they expect.  We polish the components on our base units because attention to details is what what sets our induction assemblies apart.  We are driven by a desire for excellence and we strive for a product that shows our 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 is 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. 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 hear back from me the same day...usually within hours. I check emails several times a day and I answer everybody.  And when you call, I'm 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.
