Weber DCOE 45 carburettors
Posted: December 14th, 2010, 9:57 pm
I'm planning on purchasing a pair of Weber DCOE 45s for my Lancia Beta 2 litre before VAT goes up to 20% in January, and am trying to decide whether I go for the standard 3 hole progression type (part number 1960006000) or the newer 4 hole progression type (part number 1960006200). On Guy's advice, I contacted Northampton Motorsports and this was their comment:
There are a number of variations on the DCOE carb. The 6000 has the standard 3 progression holes whilst the 6200 has 4. we do find that the 4 hole carb is better for most applications and the price is the same for both variants.
I specifically stated in my question that it was for use on an 8v TC 2 litre Lancia, but no specific recommendation was forthcoming. Have any forum members any comments to make on suitability for my application? I'm currently gathering the parts needed to upgrade my 2 litre TC to Guy's 'fast road tune' specification; standard cams, twin DCOE 45 carbs (36mm choke) with manifold to suit, ported head, balanced crank/flywheel. approx 9.3:1 CR.
I need to make a purchase before 4th January to miss the VAT hike, so any guidance is welcome.
