The Cal-look Lounge

That's my first topic here !

I build a 1679cc to my 67 ..Cal-look of course !

The engine would be :
As41 + rods origine
Piston 88mm
Light flywheel 200+ forge 69 equilibry + berg Damper
Engle 120 + 1.25 + chromo pipe with 9.5/1 ratio
041 ( 40x 35.5 )
010
carter sup
Dynomax 1 5/8 ( but double T-bird look better so ) ...

I want power BUT I prefer couple to drive with my 8x33 gearbox + 185/80 !!

So I have 48Ida OR 42dcnf !!
I don't want engine star run from 3.500rpm to 7.000rpm with no couple because the gearbox are 'long' !

So have you any experiences between both please !! ??

Between the IDA's and the 42 i would pick the 42.

Better yet choose some 40mm dells or webers,my 2 cents 8)

Thank's Bewitched !

In fact I 'prefer' look than Perfomances but between IDA Vs 42dcnf that's hard to choose ( If I do bad choose, I with regrete and restart all of the config engine ) ... :-\

So if any people can help me to config 42dcnf or IDA for good work's ! That's cool !

 ::) ;)

For looks go with the IDA's ;D
But a set of 42 is old skool look ;D

 ;D Yes Bewitched, you're right !  :D ;)

So, after many discutions with goods friends of mine ..
They know my drive style, and they know what I need with engine better than me  ;D..

SO, I will take 42dcnf for drive like I do !

Now, news ask ! Berg do modification in 42dcnf for using in VW engine .. Do you know what king of modification ?  ::)

they work on the floatbowls becaus the carbs sit in a different direction. so they get fuel when cornering. and i think they also do other stuff to them. great find on the 42's, i still wish i had a set for my type3...

Thank's Nicolas !  ;)
Ok for the modification, so I can't do myself !
I will search how do that ( or send to Berg maybe ) ..  ???

What linkage can be used ? I find manifold DDS and filter so I just need linkage ! ?

hey nude boy how're you ??? here's 2 pict of berg 42  ;)

maxx the 42 will be cool in yours 67 more cal look IMAO

hihihihi, nude man !!  ;D ;D ::), you know me very well !  ;)

In your pic's I saw Berg Linkage, do you think it's a better choise ? Are they another posibility linkage ??

For info, my futur 42dcnf !

those ramflo filters are awesome!
too bad they apparently don't work...

 ???

67-indeed/DVK  ??

You say : they apparently don't work !! ?

You speak about Ramflo filters OR 42dcnf ??

hi max,
there was a topic about filters for IDA's some time ago, and the verdict was that ramflo filters aren't any good.
well, that's what i understood of it. i don't think they look really cool though ;)

Ok ok !
You make me scare !  ;D

I will try with fliter Ramflo because they look's awesome ! But if they don't work I will 'take of' when I drive !  ::)

Hi Maxx,

fist of all, congrats on your 1679 choice, this is a great Old School combo and, not often seen.
About the 42 DCNF, I thought I read somewhere that they were Gene Berg  second choice of carb; after the 48 IDA!
Not bad at all...
Those are really cool carbs, and those Ramflow are so.... sexy!
Your car will be well inspired.

See U@ EBI#2 ;-)

Hey Jerome !

Funny to speak with the seller 42dcnf about you ! Yes that's friend of you ( Sebastien ) ...  ;D
I try to find information about Berg modification for use 42dcnf on my engine ...( in french BTW ) ...
If you have that !

See you @ EBI Jerome !

Those filters will do fine as they used them way back too. ;D

great motivation :D ;)

 ;D

motivation ?? no ! Just cal-look thing ! You wouldn't undestand !  ;D ;D

hahahahahahahah  !!!!

I search linkage for 42dcnf and good configuration for working good with 16779cc !! ??  ::)

They work if you leave the foam out ! And just use the mesh covers. So no filtration. ;D

Like in the pic's ! ?
Ok I will use it like that !  ;)

;)

16779cc?? ;D
