[Healeys] Which 45DCOE Weber Carburettor??

[Chris Dimmock]

Hi Derek,
I have 45DCOE 13's.
These were the "original" BMC special tuning part/ type. Mine were fitted in
1969.
The 'modern' webers look different.
Happy to share my weber settings, next time I'm up at Mums I'll get them for
you. I also have a 300 degree cam, and I have the short warnerford manifold.
Best
Chris
