About our company
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. When you place your order, we’ll create the build sheet that the shop will use as the instructions for your induction unit. We will then supply you with a detailed estimate for your approval. This two-step process ensures that we have all the details correct.
We 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 us with your questions, you’ll usually hear back from Jim the same day. We check emails several times a day and we answer everybody.
Other companies offer similar products, and some are temptingly cheaper, but as with any product, you always get what you pay for. As they say, there’s no “free lunch”.
If you’re buying Webers, our 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. We leave no room for error. For our EFI customers, we supply our own 40+ page instruction manual. No other EFI company supplies anything like this manual, and some companies supply no instructions at all.
Our #1 goal is for your installation to be a 100% success. To that end, we supply EVERYTHING you will need, which may also include an ignition system if you don’t have one for EFI. Our ordering process covers everything, so we can determine exactly what you’ll need, and we’ll provide it all if you wish. You won’t have to worry about what else you need.

Genuine Weber Sales and Service
We’ve been a Weber carburetion sales & service center since 1979, and we sell and service only GENUINE WEBER carburetors. Weber carburetors were originally manufactured in Bologna, Italy, and in 1992, production was moved to Madrid, Spain where they continue to be made today. There are only two international distributors of Weber carburetors…Webcon in the UK and WorldPac (Redline/Weber) here in the U.S.A.
We service carburetors for vintage Cobras, Ferraris, Maserati’s, and other marques, ranging from simple carburetor rebuilding to museum-quality restorations of complete induction assemblies to include the intake manifold and linkage.
Counterfeit Chinese Webers
Chinese copies of Weber carburetors are made by at least three companies. These cheap copies are sold at half the price of real Weber carburetors but they’re labeled and sold as Weber carburetors, which they’re NOT. And, they are what you would expect from anything made in China…bad quality. Sloppy drilling, inconsistent machining, and inaccurately calibrated metering parts 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.
A basic law of business says, “You can’t get the highest quality for the lowest price — you get what you pay for”. That’s very true.
We don’t service or repair any Chinese-made Weber copies All genuine Weber carburetors are manufactured in Italy or Spain and say MADE IN SPAIN or BOLOGNA ITALY. 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 = it’s a Chinese copy.
Chinese Counterfeit EFI’s
You’ve probably already seen these on the internet. They sell for about $2400 and come unassembled and incomplete….but they look great in the photos and that price is bait to reel in unsuspecting customers who don’t know any better. Be careful. The Chinese EFI’s come with no injectors, no sensors, and no ECU…you’ll need to figure all that out yourself. In the end, YOU WILL PAY. And not just for more parts. Anyone who actually manages to get one running soon finds out they run very badly and there’s no one there to answer questions or provide tech service. That’s because the dealers that sell those Chinese EFI’s don’t know anything about fuel injection…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 they had 1.8 Stars out of 5. Be sure to read all the reviews if you are even considering one of those Chinese EFI’s.
Here’s one more simple basic law of business: “If it looks too good to be true, it is.” You will pay the higher price later.
The Early Years
The photo below is from our archives. Back in the day, Jim actually got to tune three of the original six Daytona Coupes by being in the right place at the right time. He traveled to tracks with a fishing tackle box filled with Weber jets and carburetor parts and whenever he flew somewhere, that box was right there with him 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 Jim was 30-something.
Back then, nobody imagined that those cars would become priceless historic racecars. But even then, Jim jumped at the chance to get his hands on one of them. He never charged anybody (he was so glad to work on one that he would have paid them for such a privilege). 48 years later, Jim is still tuning these Weber carbureted engines today.
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 us. We’ll be very happy to spend time with you to answer your questions. When you call, there’s no voice loop or extension choices, and you won’t have to press #1 for English.
Our fuel injection systems can be ordered two ways. We can build you one with modern throttle bodies or one that looks just like Weber carburetors. 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.
Why are there two Inglese companies?
There’s a lot of confusion about INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS vs. JIM INGLESE 8-STACK SYSTEMS. They’re actually two separate companies that are in no way connected.
INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS was my original company, founded in 1980. I sold that company IN 1988 and then came back into it later under my own name as JIM INGLESE EIGHT STACK SYSTEMS. The original brand, INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS, was purchased by Comp Cams in Tennessee, and the two companies, while sharing the last name, were never affiliated. Today, that company (INGLESE INDUCTION SYSTEMS) is thankfully no longer in business. Now it’s back to just our company operating as JIM INGLESE 8-STACK SYSTEMS, and there is much less confusion.
Our assemblies show the Jim Inglese signature on the label as shown below. If this label isn’t on the front carburetor or throttle body, it wasn’t built here (unless it has our original 1980s “Branford, CT” label). The signature label is your guarantee that it was built here and that we’ve invested our experience and reputation into that assembly.
We invite you to come in and have a look around these pages. If you’re looking for useful information, you’re really going to enjoy this website. If you’d like to talk about your project, please call or email us. Please don’t text us. We don’t see or answer any texts. Thank you.
“Hi Jim The manifold and bits have arrived. It is a thing of beauty. You have done a great job for which I am very grateful.
Thanks once again.”
