I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on carbs. I have always had great 
luck with side draft delortos on my Alfas. As I am building my vintage racer 
I have to keep in mind what was available in 67. So please inundate me with 
all of your experience and preferences

Hal,
   If you plan to run a 1600, twin Weber 45 DCOE's should be the natural 
choice. This was the choice in period and will give you the greatest 
availability of tuning data, parts and people experienced in set up and 
tuning. A new pair will probably cost 1500+ but you can try the Racecar 
website for a used pair.I don't remember anyone using Delortos but they 
should not be a problem.

Garry

Hi Hal,

I'm running triple side draft Solex 45s on my street 3 litre Volvo. They were very popular in Sweden with the guys who raced the 1800 and 3 litre Volvo based cars there. They perform quite well though they're heavy on gas (maybe that's my heavy left foot). They appear to be quite rare in North America and parts are very difficuIt to come by here. I had to secure rebuild kits from England last year. I also recall a guy called Churchill in England racing a 3 litre Volvo Marcos with triple side draft Delortos with good results. However your best bet would probably be to go with Webers as Garry suggested because people over here are more familiar with them and you'd probably find them easier to get set up for your application.

Regards,

Paul Dransfield

Hi, my 1971 2.5lt Triumph engined GT runs on its standard Stromberg 
CD-175 2SE's.  The motor is stock and runs perfectly. No hesitation, 
no flat spots, no misses - perfect.

Just need it to stop dripping oil everywhere and we'll be fine!!
