Hey all, long time no see!
Well, some of you may remember that I did a Weber DGV swap on my 1500, and finally got it running really well by the end of last summer.
Unfortunately, I was wandering through the endless internet, and saw a set (pair) of brand new DCOE 40s advertised, all set up for a 1500. Intake, linkage, throttle, both carbs brand new, jetted, the whole shebang.
So I send the guy a too-low offer, hoping he'll tell me to go whistle, and I'll be able to say "Well, I tried!"
So now he's thinking about it, we're negotiating shipping, and I'm getting ready to put the DGV up on eBay. Gah!
The nice thing is, it *should* be plug-and-play, since it comes with all the linkages, already jetted for a 1500, and I've already got a low-pressure Carter pump. Ah well, what the heck. I haven't bought anything dumb for the car since she went into storage.
My only other consideration is, if I decide I hate them on the Midget, I can always put them on my 16v VW, an engine that makes nice power with dual side-draughts.
