I saw this conversion kit for 850's to upgrade the original 2bbl 30DIC weber to a 1bbl 34DICA carb. Anyone try this conversion?
History tells us none of the tuners used a one barrel for more power.
My mistake. I knew that was the case with the older engines but I thought by the time the 850 came around the thinking had changed to going with larger two barrels such as the DCD.Small-bore Fiat history tells us most of the tuners of the day did, in fact, use a one-barrel for more power - a larger one-barrel. Nardi, Giannini, Stanguellini, Siata, Abarth & probably a few I'm forgetting all did it on their Fiat 500, 600, 600D & 850-based engines as part of their various "tuner kit" offerings.
I can't recall the 500's upgrade carb models, but I do know the 600/600D-based engines got the Weber 32IMPE &/or Solex 32PBIC, & 850-based variants got the Solex 34PBIC.
