Need help identifying carb setup

Just recently bought this square back and has a built motor with webber carbs and gene berg manifolds. I need to have the carbs rebuilt but can't find any markings on the carbs as to which model they are. The guy that looked at them thinks they are 40 dcnf's but want to make sure that's the case before ordering a rebuild kit. Also anyone know what size filters these take. The P/O ruined the filters so I need new ones.

Thanks for any and all help

Look like 40 DCNF's to me, from what I have read I think Berg liked to use those carbs in his old setups.

With the nuts on the mixture screws I could assume Berg specials, dcnf modified by berg

My guess is 42 dcnf set from Berg. I don't think he did any 40s.

Wow thanks a lot guys for the quick responses. I did find Pierce manifolds when I was googling rebuild kits for the dcnf carbs. From what I briefly read they have the most complete rebuild kits but are a little more expensive. It looks like the 40,42 and 44 rebuild kits are all the same according to pierce manifolds website. Anyone know off the top of their head if this is true?

I will give Berg a call or email and see if I can get any help from them or not. It's always worth a shot. I will have someone rebuild and retune the carbs as I still am not comfortable with carbs yet and this is my daily.

If the part numbers are ground off it's likely a berg dcnf kit, yeah, he did that!

Yes the kits are all the same. I have rebuilt lots of the dcnf carbs I like them and they work great. I know you have 42 berg dcnf's if the numbers are ground off the flat side of the float bowls.

that will all be coming off, that was all done by p/o along with running with no filters :rolleyes: .

I am going to try and order rebuild kit for both carbs from gene berg

http://www.geneberg.com/product_info.php?cPath=2870&products_id=966
and
http://www.geneberg.com/product_info.php?cPath=2870&products_id=968

also going to try and pick up new air cleaners with top and bottom plates
http://www.geneberg.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_592&products_id=868

although it seems pretty expensive I feel like its the right thing to do. I guess I could scrape all the blue goo off but still missing parts for the filters such as bolts and gaskets.

The other option would to get the rebuild kit from Pierce Manifolds
http://www.piercemanifolds.com/product_p/92.1153.05.htm

but I am not sure if it has all the parts from both kits that are posted on Gene Berg. Pierce also offers just a filter replacement for 8.95 or can get a full top and bottom plate along with filter for 30.00, but does not look like it has the holes for the 4 top bolts to hold the filters on.

any recommendations guys?
