I will, but I didn't take that much pictures of all the work I've put in to her. But you should be putting your car up here, it's a shame not to share that beauty!

not sure where to start, so I'll just take it part by part.

first up. The DCNF's.
when I bought them they came with a set of long SCAT manifolds, and altough they are great, I really wanted purple manifolds

looks a lot better if you ask me. And I was lucky to find a paint that matches the NOS linkage perfectly (more on that later)

It took me a lot of research to find out what to do with the carbs before they are ideal for VW engines. altough most of the mods aren't nescesary, I still wanted to do my best to make them as good as I could.
a common problem is overflowing when cornering hard. A DCNF has the air vent on the inside of the lid, so when you corner hard fuel can flow directly in the bowls.

So I filled it op with Belzona
also note the ball float valve, stock they come with a needle. All the ferrari guys are changing them to ball float valve (also with there problems, but you have to chose a side...)

because you have to have a breather for the fuel bowls I made a snorkel that comes up high enough

the butterflies came with standard nuts, witch restrict flow (very minimal, but still). needed to be addressed.
not the best picture because now they sit a little bit lower still, but you get the idea

grooved venturies made from scratch:

I wanted a special stack and designed it myself and have my brother 3D print it to test, but haven't printed them in the right material yet because I'm working on something different. I want to incorporate a variable stack length in combination with a rpm activated switch on my MSD, but it sits really low on my priority list.

The test part:

I also installed a choke delete kit and replaced the needles with new ones.

the lid came with a original stack, witch I had to delete

Lastly I adapted the lids to accept a AN-6 connector because my whole fuel system is already AN-equiped.

after that I fully dismantled them again and got them ultrasonically cleaned before rebuilding them with a revision kit
