Richard,
That is pretty much it in a nutshell.
My 45DCOE 9s came with a 'standard' package of jets and tubes that are
considered reasonable for Healeys and probably jags as well. Only one item
needed to be changed after set up on the rolling road, that was the idle Jet.
I have not yet found a source that lists all of the Weber categories and sub
categories of the models that were and are available. Nobody seems to be able
to properly explain the numbering systems. The only real 'known' is the
pre-fix number which is the choke size.
I suspect that you could probably fit any 45 DCOE to a Healey, but you would
most likely have to change a lot of the jets and tubes depending on exactly
which model 45DCOE you have acquired.
