I see a number of people using DRLA 40's from Alfa Romeo's, aside from the manifolds, linkage and jetting is there a good reason NOT to use them?
I believe you have to remove & blank off the cold start chokes. I think I read that somewhere... We have twin DRLA 36's on our 2L auto, but they were already fitted when we bought the van.
If your feeling flush then have a look on earlybay.com there is a guy selling a complete new EFI system along with ECU , throttle bodies the works .......i`m tempted but i cant justify the money ... Only reason NOT to use them is they are a bit old school ....
Yes, they cost a fortune. Around £800 for nos carbs and complete kit. If you have the money though they're well worth it.
I was thinking of buying CSP linkage and some used Alfa carbs, there must be someone out there who knows the basic settings for conversion then get them finally sorted on a Dyno.m
If you can get the carbs cheap on their own then you just have to get the manifolds and linkages. It's this but combined + the carbs which bumps the price. Having said that I've just managed to do the same with some weber 44idf so all in it cost me £300 so it's doable. If you can get cheap dells send them to the Italian guru for rebuild. Just waiting for a pair to come home for my 1800 and they'll be like new. Is this for your own engine build?
And on the ones fitted by po on my bus apparently there should be ,preferably a fuel pressure reg. fitted also ,(which is next on list of parts to purchase },thou any more wisened re this situation among yourself care to opinion on same ?, ta.
Here's a typical Dellorto owner. He probably has a 123 dissy and a Berg shifter as well... Here's a typical Weber ICT owner...
