This has been a great thread, but now I  think that I now am starting to know how much I don't know. Allot actually. Most of it.

If you get me.

I have shut up until now as I previously had blissful ignorance and blind optimism firmly on my side and was forging ahead without the burden of any knowledge of any type. As is my preferred approach to life...!

Confession time - this is how far I am down the IDE road . Please don't laugh. Or if you must, please leave the room.

48ida's are blinkin hard to find here. ( Au)  ((Had to steal these four off a Porsche parked at the local pub. Still got the gravel rash from when he took off. ))

Holman Moody built DeTomaso Weber manifolds or similar multi manifolds - forget it. Have not been able to find one. Be careful where you park.

Solution to reversion was to graft a cluster of these guys onto a Strip dominator manifold. - heaps of room in there for the vapor to sort itself out ,,,,,reversion , what reversion???

What could possibly go wrong ?

Here is the rough in on throttle linkage. Adaptor is definitely a work in progress.

The entire assembly is very high. Measures in at 270mm  from the intake valley base without trumpets. May have to cut a hole in the roof to fit it. Not.

( And yes - I have previously worked on Massy Ferguson tractors....! )

Now if this ever sees use in anger may well depend on the fear factor instilled from Bosswrench's molten carburetor stories!!

I am almost scared to press the post reply button....

The early "Webers" are serial numbered. The code 1/100 and 2/100 are the serial numbers on those carbs. Translated that means that those two are #1 and #2 of 100 made.

They should be in a museum. I know someone who MIGHT  know what they may have originally be intended for and will ask.
