Afternoon gents,

I'm hoping to get some info on the carb shown below. The numbers on it are as follows: (Type) 45DCOE13 and (No.) 2578. Just wondered if the '13' at the end of 45DCOE13 means anything... also, is it possible to date it from the No.? Any ideas anyone?

(...and if anyone's interested I'm looking to get rid of it and the 2 manifolds seen here. Will split if that helps!)

Cheers,

Tom


on swan neck:




spare Oselli inlet:

the '13' indicates that its the correct model for use on a mini.

this indicates its a fairly early carb (pre 80's i think)

the later correct mini use webers are marked '152'

Thanks Rich!

I seem to remember that a chart or site link was posted on one of the earlier Mk1 Conversions forums regarding translating Weber numbers and corresponding applications. I'll have a look around and post a link if I find it...

..as it's a bit of a mysterious world to us Weber novices!!

Tom

What price have you in mind for the dog leg manifold

How much do you want for just the weber?

The 13 means the slow run drillings are for siamised inlet ports and was originally designed for an MGB. It then found its way onto a mini. The 9 was for a Healey 3000 with individual inlet tracts.

Really interesting, thanks ivor.

coop12g295 and 251 ENG you have private messages (hopefully!)

thats a 40 with a 45 lid on it...

also the 13 originaly had a longer pump stroke and a strong pump spring too. but by now markings dont really mean out when it comes to settings as normaly they will have been of a few engines over the years.

Well spotted Adam.

So this 9 shouldn't be fitted to a Mini then?

would be fine

130 jets and 34mm chokes, sounds like 40DCOE territory doesn't it?

Nice to have a topic started on Webers.
What I need to know is...
What Webers to use o na crossflow head. (7 porter - 8 porter)
Type, size ( 40's- 45's), numbers, chokes, jets, etc...
Anyone had experience with Webers on crossflow heads ?
Cheers,
Dieter.

Tulka,

Is your manifold for 45 webers on a weslake head?

If it is, please contact me as soon as possible.

Found it after some searching.Big heap with parts,you know.

I've seen the IDA(s) manifold....

The DCOE one looks awfully convoluted gas flow wise. The S that the charge has to undertake can't be good for performance.
