Allow me to throw in my tuppence, having had a pair of DHLA40's on my
Cortina for the last 15 years.
Compared to Webers (DCOE's) they have throttle shafts mounted in sealed
rollerbearings,a wide variety of jets, emul. tubes, - even calibrated
veturis are available. The have a diaphragm accelerator pump, can be tuned
and balanced between each side of the carb, and once tuned, they hold their
tune almost indefinately.
Purchased new DHLA's are about $100US cheaper per unit compared to DCOE's,
and there's a gent on eBay that has had a ready suply (taken off Alfas) for
about $150/pr. That leaves a nice pile of lucre to buy all of the tunable
bits you could ever want
Dave Bean in CA (Lotus bits mostly) has a decent selection of jets and
emulsion tubes et c.
Ryan - as the original poster of this subject I'd be more that happy to let
you take a look at the set up on my Corty.(Good thing you're in town eh?)
