When I found this car I was pleased to find that it had previously run various sets of Weber dcoe carbs. I thought this couldn’t be more perfect. This is something I had always known I’d wanted to do, I love the look of it when mounted on the engines, there’s just something so raw about it, and the intricacies in the tuning is something I’d love to learn. Many prefer the look of these on a 16v since they face forward, so their much more ‘flash’ and in your face, more aggressive looking. On the 8v motor I plan on using the carbs are mounted facing the fire wall, so facing the rear of the car. When you pop the hood and look in it might take a second to realize that yes indeed there is something a little different under the hood. I decided that a set of 40s he had would be a good choice for the engine as well as street ability. Having been wrapped in oiled rags for quite a while they needed a good once over. I prepared a cleaning station and proceeded to clean the exterior with good old gasoline. Nothing cuts through the tough grime quite like it. Once the exteriors were washed I removed the jetting to check condition as well as give them a bath in gas and a good shot of compressed air. I will be doing a more thorough rebuild once I receive some parts that have been ordered. There were a few bits and pieces missing and I wanted to refresh all the o-rings and gaskets. Still debating what style linkage to use as well as what style air filters.
Enjoy.
