>From the original poster:
I think I've decided the best choice is the progressive downdraft (32/36 =
DGV Weber). Although I've received mixed reports from the list, most =
people concur the DCOE will work, but trying to keep the monster under =
control will be more trouble than it's worth.
I don't intend to race the car, but I do intend to drive the Hell out of =
it every once in a while. I'd like to get plenty of power from her, but =
I don't want to have to retune every two weeks, either; the bulk of the =
advice, therefore, leads me to choose the DGV.
Final questions:
I believe this engine has stock low compression pistons. Is this right?
If so, would high compression pistons behoove?
How about a road speed cam?
I have electronic ignition, yet most people seem to recommend dual-point =
mechanical advance distribution. Any comments?

Subject: RE: DCOE Carbs
If the carb setting is good,it is very responsive=20
and more powerfull than ZS or SU (at least I feel so). =20
Hence the need for dyno tuning
I feel I should mention that the engine vibration increase =20
and the parcolation(spelling?? A phenomena the gas boil in carb or fuel =
hose)
happen from engine heat.
I have not run into either of these problems on my
'B.
Still more,(On the whole),1500 engine is not high speed rotation type.=20
The weber is suited to the high speed rotation.
The Weber does just fine on low R's, if the choke
choice is correct. My rule of thumb is pick the=20
smallest size you think you can live with, then go
one smaller :-)
So I feel that
if midget 1500 engine is stook,the weber carb is way too much for the =
engine
(Especially US type(low compression engine)).
A 40 DCOE with the proper chokes would work
fine on this engine IMHO. Guess we'll have to
wait to see what the individual that started this thread
does!
