Most DCOE kits come with a new intake manifold. These are usually of the
two separate run variety. Some of these have no vacuum fittings/ports
while others have only one. This will change the amount of vacuum that
you have; possible making it insufficient, (depending on configuration),
to open the PCV correctly. It will take some work to get the emissions
working properly.
SIMILAR TOPIC: DCOEs are a very nice and flexible carb for different
configurations/ engine modifications--sometimes too flexible. Does
anyone have the complete configuration for a DCOE that you feel gives
good performance? I have a 73B with a new rebuild and have installed a
45DCOE. I had changed from the original config with air horns to one
recommended in the Webber manual without horns to use a filter. The
result was a very high idle. I have yet to drive it as I'm still
finishing the body work during restoration. Any good configurations out
there?
