What kind of Carburetor is this?

[camdjkim]

Hi I'm new to Fiats and just bought this car. It has a funny looking carburetor and was wondering if anybody has seen this before?

Do you see anything else that might be of concern?

Thanks

Can't really see because of the intake but I'd expect a Weber or Solex of some sort. What car is it, looks a bit like a 124 Sport?

Thanks Maggers, Its a 1971 Fiat 124 Spider. I thought the intake was the carburetor. That's how much I know about cars.

glad you got an answer..,
I couldn't see much from the pic, and car is a little before my time,( I was 6 years old then.)

No worries! I did some work on one of these many moons ago (they weren't sold over here so it was an import) and found it a blast to drive. I'd love one now but they're out of my league - enjoy!

Generally it'll have "Solex", "Webber" or "Dell'Orto" stamped on it. Unlikely to be anything else.

Or even Weber.

OK....I'm late to the party as usual

Anyway I have and old Weber Tuning Manual that lists the following 124 carbs:

124 / 1197cc / 32 DCOF / 2 barrels side draft (not relevant in this case)
124 Sport / 1438cc / 34 DHS / 2 barrels downdraft
124 Special / 1438cc / 32 DHS / 2 barrels downdraft

Only inspection of the actual unit will reveal the truth

Or even Weber.

At least I spelt Del'Orto right!
