Hello Everyone
i bought a pair of Dellortos on a 2.3 manifold (vauxhall slant 4)and the story goes... the carbs was sleeved to a different size.
i've taken a picture of where the ID number should be and as you can see, they look to of had the 2nd number burr'd away and by the looks of the carbs they've had some work done, as they have new gaskets/bolts/filters/ ect.
my question to the people who know there stuff on dellorto's / webers.. what the bloody hell have i bought
I measured the end where the throttle flaps are and the ID come out at 48mm as pictured, i measured the other end which i think is called the venturi and the ID come out at 45mm and i measured the manifold and the ID was 45mm and i tried to do a rough internal measurement at the narrowest point and that came out roughly 43/44mm
could these of originally been 40's bored out to 48's? i did a bit of google research and found the odd couple threads, of people mentioning boring out 40's to 46's, so it must be they've been bored :?:
Any help will be much appreciated! bare in mind these was purchased with the intention of fitting to my viva 2.3 GT which the only other mod will be a 4-2-1 manifold
