[Healeys] Which Webers are you using?

[John Rowe]

Hi Simon
I am running 45DCOE 152's on my BT7 and after trying Redline, Webcon & DW
manifolds settled on the DW ones. The reason I went for them was because of
availability at the time and due to someone's error, I got them at a good
price new. Tuning was a pain and after wasting $$$$$ on experts I found a
dyno operator who knew what he was doing. He had to drill the 4th
progression hole which made all the difference. Everyone else was masking
the flat spot with extra fuel with disastrous results in economy. For racing
I don't think you would worry about drilling the holes as you would be
running above that rev range
On a run to a southern rally a couple of years ago we got 24mpg (imperial
gallons) matching a stock BJ7 (both running 3.54 diff ratio).
I absolutely love them after the HD6 (thermo choke ones) and the HS8's I
tried (especially the sound)

Well, the Webers debate seems to have died down and thank you all for your
help and interest.

One last thing...I have become increasingly aware of the variety of types of
Webers, even within one size. (It's mostly to do with the progression holes.
Mostly)

So, leaving aside Dellortos and DCOE 40s for the moment (only for the
moment), what type of 45s are you using?

There are a couple of favourites, but I'd like to hear what you've got ie
what you thought was best at the time.

And, yes, we'll all accept that everyone's engines are different, but not
THAT different. None of them became high revving twin cams for example. (Or
did they?)
