 |
|
I'm currently running dual Weber 40 carbs with a crossbar linkage in my 1969 Square. I have no problem with their performance in fact it's awesome. I just reaaaally wish I could get at the rest of my engine, particularly plug wires. I have scars.
So I'm thinking about replacing the system with smaller carbs. Would that make any difference and if so, any suggestions?
Thanks ahead of time.

Unbolt the intake manifolds & carburetors together & take them off when you are changing spark plugs etc. Move your coil from the left over to the right.

Has anyone tried NDIX 32 Zeniths on a Type 3? Much smaller and capable of plenty of flow on a 1600cc. or similar size engine.

| I always wondered about NDIX on a type 3, since they use almost the same bolt pattern as the DCNF Webers, my impression is that they are too tall to really fit under the engine cover |

I just measured the NDIX and a Dellorto 36:
Zenith NDIX 32 is 5" Base to top Rim.
Dellorto 36 is 5 1/2" Base to top of Main Jet and short stack however the Dell is only 4" from base to top.
Dell Main Jet and stacks go into the Air Cleaner space.
