Twin Carb Options

Post by Risocco »

Hi all, I've got it into my head that I need twin carbs. I know its not the smartest thing to do with a non-crossflow 8v head but the noise, oh the noise.......

Now, whats the difference between DHLA and DCOE? Is it as simple as just different names used between Dellorto and Weber, or do I need a specific one? Or do they both work on a VW?

Also, if I were to get a set from say an 80s Alfa, they would still be cool? Just needing the jets swapped over to match my engine spec? And obviously a correct manifold.

Cheers for any help guys :beers:
