    Single weber on 1600 pinto

    Ive unearthed a single 40 dcoe in my garage. I can get hold of a lynx manifold to suit a pinto but am I likely to see any real gains over the downdraft? I know a 45 would give me more scope, but I have the 40 already. Any advise?

    when you say over the downdraft, are you talking about over a std 1600 down draft which is a single choke carb, or a gt spec 1600 which should have a 32/36 twin choke.

    single choke carb i say yes you would see a gain, probably a good few horsepower, but over the twinchoke probably not

    Its a 32/36 on it at the moment. I did have a feeling I wasn't likely to see a worthwhile return

    Good luck with trying to get it to run right on a single dcoe, we and many others tried it 35 years ago and it was never a success despite trying many rolling roads.
