Post subject:  Weber 48 DCOE & Lynx side-draft carb jetting?

Anybody ever play around with a setup like this? I have a Lynx manifold, and have a Weber 48 on the way... a used unit that was pulled from a running car.

This is eventually going in my '64. Nothing much beyond stock there... Will be doing some very mild head work/gasket matching and a fresh valve job, headers, and the stock auto 904... will have to fab up a bracket for a Lokar kickdown cable.

I'm waiting to hear from the person I bought the carb from as to what jets & tubes are installed. I think the carb came off an Austin 3000 but I know nothing about those engines.

What would be the best starting point for jets/emulsion tubes for a slant? I know Webers have a good reputation for reliability & tunability, but I don't have a good rep for knowing how to tune any carb! :)

Any info would be a really big help! Thanks!

I have a rebuild book from Haynes for the Werber carbs. It has a section in the back on jetting information for the various vechicles that used Weber carbs.

The Austin would most likely have came with a pair of SU carbs stock. So a Weber would be an aftermarket additon. To me the "3000" would indicate a 3.0l engine, so the carb may be a little lean for a 225. I would just bolt it on and just try it. Remember that Weber carbs can only handle 3lbs of fuel pressure max. so you will need a rebulator.
