werent dcnf's deigned to have the float bowl oriented to the front of the car or 90 degrees from crank centre line on ferraris and fiats in the first place?, hence the age old issue of side orienation on an a/c flat 4 causing fueling issues as the movement of fuel in the bowls on hard cornering is adverse to its original design. I think!!! there was a newly designed float which cured this problem to a degree but i could be wrong. berg tricked out and reworked 42's under the guise of their "42 specials" great old school carbs, i think for "normal" driveability they are very hard to beat, they run really smoooooth. just dont show em a corner lol.

I could be a victim of the Berg marketing program. I've held on to a pair of DCNF's for my 74 Ghia Vert that will get a 2056 some day when they make a decent high flow heater box.
i will leave all the tech talk to the lads coxy all i will say is i bet it sounds fookin savageee 
Nice score coxy . There's a set of cb race rods in there too , cam is a bugpack similar spec to engle 120. I reckon you could up the power by removing the shims under the barrels to decrease the deck height as this was set up for turbo spec before and i left the deck heights as they were when i converted it back to carbs
Cheers Barry. Mac gave me a Chinese Burn last night until I cried and said he could have sole custody of it. He's such a bully that fella. I think with the 1835 in Burty and the 1776 poss going into the Cal Look it's only fair he gets to have fun with this motor eh? I'll swap it out someday when he's not looking!
Inside I'm jumping up and down flapping my arms red faced and screaming right now after all the money I spent on my engine to see this come up for this sort of money. I know it shouldn't torment be but it does! Why the hell is it so cheap!? :wallbash::shout::argh:
Because it's the unknown. It could be a goodie or a ball of sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Them be the joys of gambling!
Cheers for the advice & info lads. Been talking to Laurie about it a while back. He's aware of the problem & knows i have an issue, I just didn't bother to chase it up any further cos i was having too much fun driving it! Its in storage for the winter now, so i'll be getting back to him one of the days again...
should be all good considering colm has put 1000 miles on it since it was put together and he says it runs great... usually .
good luck with it anyhows whichever one of ye end up running it
