JIM INGLESE 8-STACK SYSTEMS

THIS IS THE WEBSITE YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR….WE DO IT ALL.

PERIOD-CORRECT WEBER CARBURETION AND FUEL INJECTION...

...FOR ALL HISTORIC STREET &  COMPETITION CLASSICS

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.  


We're a different business than any other in the specialized market of exotic V8 induction systems. No other company in business today has built as many Weber carburetion systems for V8 engines as we have, and now we're also a market leader in 8-stack fuel injection.  We invite you to take advantage of our experience by calling with all your questions so you can make an informed decision.

This is the red "X" on your treasure map and we're glad you found us.  We'd love to be a part of your project and build something for your car to set it apart from the rest.

Few people can walk by an engine outfitted with an 8-stack induction system without stopping to look.  It’s like magnetic attraction.  Induction systems like these set any vehicle apart from all other ones around it.  When the hood is up at a show car, a car's engine shouldn't be a disappointment...the engine should carry the car over the top as "the icing on the cake", and never be a disappointment.

We supply our products to customers all over the world, and we're the only shop on Planet Earth where you can buy either a Weber 8-stack carburetion system or an 8-stack EFI from one single place.  We also offer more applications than any other source.  

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 me, “I can get basically the same thing from another place much cheaper" my answer always is, “No you can’t.”    When you call here, I will ask you a lot of questions and  you will be under my care. 

GET IT ALL WITH ONE CALL
I will make sure you get everything you need and I won't send you off to figure out any of the ancillary details by yourself.  If you don't already have a compatible ignition system, I'll recommend the best one for your application, and provide it if you like.  If you need a fuel pump, I'll supply what you need.  You won't ever need to figure out any of those details yourself.  We'll provide you with a complete package.

GENUINE WEBER SALES AND SERVICE
We're a recognized Weber carburetion sales and service center.  

Genuine Weber carburetors were first produced in Bologna, Italy.  In 1992, 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. 

BUYER BEWARE...COUNTERFEITS EXIST.
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 they are NOT.  Their deficiencies include what you should 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 most of their running time. All Chinese copies look identical to genuine Webers, but the quality is exactly what you would expect from something made in China.  They're junk.

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

NO SERVICE PROVIDED FOR FAKE CHINESE "WEBERS"
We don’t service or repair Chinese-made Weber copies   We only sell and service genuine Weber carburetors manufactured in Spain, which say MADE IN SPAIN clearly stamped on the carburetor.  For service here, all carburetors sent to us must say “Made in Spain” or “Made in Italy”.  

WEBER AUTHENTICATION 101:
There's a simple way to identify fake Weber carburetors.  All Chinese copies say MADE IN ______  with the country of origin left blank!  No country of origin means it's a Chinese copy. You're smarter now.

THOSE CHINESE-MADE EFI's
The Chinese are masters at copying American products, and they also make copies of our EFI's.  The Chinese EFI's are entirely manufactured and totally assembled in China.  They are shipped to the U.S. fully assembled and sold by some big-name online warehouses and other hot rod parts sources.  Once you buy one, you own it, and you're entirely on your own to get it running by yourself.   


You've probably seen the Chinese EFI's on the internet.  They're always "polished" units offered at an unbelievably low price, making them very tempting to any novice buyer.  They typically run horribly, if at all.  And when the buyer calls where he bought it to get some help, he then realizes there's no help or even anyone to answer technical questions after the sale.  None of the dealers that sell them are EFI specialists,m they're just order-takers.  

If you know the name of the Chinese EFI company I'm talking about, go here and put their name into the search box:  https://www.pissedconsumer.com/  You'll see that 84 customer reviews (as of August 2024) have earned them an 83% NEGATIVE RATING and just 1.8 Stars.  Be sure to read all the reviews if you're considering one of those Chinese EFI's.

We get regular calls all the time from sorry buyers of those Chinese EFI's who can't get them to work or find anyone else who can make them run.  Unfortunately, we don't provide support for those or anything else made in China.  So just be very careful before you hand over your money to anybody.  Here's another basic law of business:  "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

AN OLD DINOSAUR STILL WALKING THE EARTH
The photo below is from my archives.   Back in the day, I tuned three of the original Daytona Coupes whenever one of those coupes and I showed up somewhere at the same time. I traveled around to tracks with my fishing tackle box filled with Weber jets and carburetor parts. 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 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 I would have paid them for the privilege.  I'm still at it, which makes me one of the last of the old dinosaurs still building and tuning Weber carburetion for V8 engines.

AMERICA FIRST
The American flag flies proudly outside our shop.  We love God and America. 

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.  

THE OLD DINOSAUR TODAY
When you call, I'm still the only one who answers your call. You won't have to listen to a recorded greeting with a sales pitch or have to push any buttons for English.  Our business phone is my cell phone...(203) 623-0659. By the way, that guy on the right side of the photo in the camo gear hoping not to be noticed is our own "Big Daddy" Dave, our Head Tech.  Some of you may know Dave by his comments and free advice on the Cobra and GT40 forums. 

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.
