Weber or Dellortos
Quick question, what are better for fast road tuning. Twin 40 Weber, or Dellortos and what is a reasonable price for a working item.
Cheers

IMO Dellorto's, it is said they atomise the fuel better........ trouble is unless you can drive a car with them on B4 you buy you never quite know if
there any good....
I would pay up to £200 for a pair on an inlet with good filters, ram pipes and linkage.

I'd go for the Dell'Orto's by heart and Webers by head. Parts are more easy to obtain for Webers. What ever you do don't go for the Solex's. In
my younger days I used to own a lot of Alfa Romeo's. If they had Solex's the first thing I did was look for a decent set of Dell'Orto's and swap
them.
Why the heart bit you might think, I have a subjective feeling that they sound better, but that might just be my hearing.

i've been told that the accelorater pump on dellorto's is better i.e doesnt give you that "cough" that webbers give when you nail it
also in my experiance dellortos are a wee bit smoother with the power as u step on the loud pedal but that could be down to whoever jetted then.

Ive just been clearing my garage and remebered that i had got an alfa 2.0 twincam stashed away, Ive checked the carbs and found them to be
dellortos.
I have heard that there is some peculiarity with the set up of alfa carbs that means they will not fit straight to a ford engine but cant remember
what it is, obviously they will need to be rejeted to suit the engine in my case a 1600 crossflow. Has anyone an idea of how much this is likely to
cost and could i just buy and fit the jets rather than having to get it rolling roaded straight away?.

I work at www.rollingroadtune.co.uk in reading, we see loads of webers and dellortos, when they are set up they are both good, we carry a full stock
of jets and eurocarb is just around the corner to back us up with the parts we aint got.
