I bought a set for my 1.7 motor which replaces the missing 2.0 if motor.
I bought these a couple of months ago but have just got around to engine work. This evening I got them out of packing tonight and I think I have a problem. I set them on their manifolds but it looks like they are single sided. They are Italian stamped, 40 IDF. A search finds that they are likely off a fiat or alpha. I did however find a link to a 356 thread which is short and inconclusive. Has anyone fitted this type/model with success? I'll try to get pics uploaded asap. |

It looks like those came off an inline six cylinder engine.
That's why one carb has 3 fuel fittings, one inlet and outlets to the carbs on either side. I believe my linkage can be installed without modifying the carbs, buy you may need to buy a few small parts from Pierce Manifolds or other Weber parts supplier. |

I have been thinking wrong about these carbs all along. It's just struck me what i've done wrong. They are the same carb! Hence the need for a central pivot, diagonal twist type linkage. Duh moment! Thanks chris i'll check out your website and get on to my local weber parts place. |
