I was helping a buddy of mine clean out his garage and I found a set of weber carburetors. He let me keep them but I am unsure what size the carbs are and what type of engine/car they belong to. Any idea what they are?

Looks like is says 40DCOE. They are side draft carbs. You see them on 4 and 6 cylinder inline engines.

Those are DCOE side draft carbs, usually available in 40 or 45 mm bores. They are equivalent to the IDF webbers but are commonly used on rabbits, golfs & even Nissan 240 & 260 z's , 510s. Manifolds were available for lots of cars where the intake & engine bay allowed for horizontal mounting instead of vertical like the ACVW.

| Too bad they're not original Italian DCOE's. Would be worth a bit more money... |

| Ive seen 45's sell for up to $425 each if they are fresh rebuilt, $300 if they are used, but clean. Much depends on what they come with (air horns, etc). The last set I bought I paid $650 for the set, and they were chromed and complete. |
