I worked on the one in the middle  ;D


They're not aluminium underneath.



tell me about it - the welding on the steel chassis was crap  ::) BUT the Oval tubing they used was pretty COOL :)

I'm guess your not a big fan of ferraris then dude  ;) :)

ESH:
I love them up to a point, the problem I have is that many of the people that dream of owning them fall out of love when it comes to the bills and it's all to do with stupid stuff that ends up costing way more than it ever needed too.

Bottom line, give me something German any day of the week.  :)

DCN's came first. I think the DCNF's were introduced in about '75. In a bug you have to trim the edge of the compartment to clear filters. I used Berg 42 Specials in my type 3 and I think they are the perfect carbs for pancake engines because of the short profile. Ive heard 40s have the wrong circutry, and 44's are just as good as 42's. For driveability and mileage, I dont think there are better carbs for a big motor.


What part of the 40s circuitry makes them wrong?

Frenchy Dehoux:


    I had 42 DCNF 9 on my daily driver back in 1975 until 1980 on my 1973 beetle and they have a lot of bottom end easy to rebuild do not need to be a scientist to figure them out. Good gas mileage carb. I have an early set of 42's Berg special with linkage and manifolds .I also found an early pair of velocity stacks which I bought from Shubee last year very hard one to find.

    Thanks
