I would like to hear from those of you who have installed triple twin choke side draft Webers (Model 45DCOE) on your big Healey engines. I am considering restoring my 3000 as a loose replica of a Seb

Build the engine around the cam. With Weber's you will need at least 3/4 or full race. Find a profile that works well with Weber's. Here are a couple of links to guys that know what they are talking

I know of two guys that did it in the 80's. They were pretty smart engineers and not on this list. Neither got milage like an SU equipped car. One made his own manifolds used smaller(main venturi's?

I've still not completed my engine and have three sets of carbs to choose from. HD6, HD8 and 40DCOE as I suspect 45's are very big for street use. Also, the Austin Healey engine is known for needing

I am running triple 42DCOE webers. The smaller diameter increases air velocity at lower engine speeds and improves low end torque. I use the car nearly every day to get to work in city traffic and on

If you don't use Webers, do you need the access panel cut out in the shroud? If you are looking at Pertronix..from personal experience I'd suggest a 123Ignition setup. With that you can select from
