RE: Weber nomenclature, etc.

DHLA is a Dellorto code, not Weber.

As far as Weber codes are concered, _some_ of them mean something, usually
in Italian. Most of the time, there is no sensible connection, and often,
the code goes against any logic already applied in previous models. The best
thing is not to bother trying to figure out any logic with those codes.

Italians, huh? Who needs 'em! I mean, they can't build sensible, good cars,
so why bother? Get yourself a nice Zenith carb.

;-)

As far as the DCOE 45s fitted to Ti Supers, at least some of the Ti Supers
came with Solexes. With only 400-500-ish Ti Supers built, they definitely
would have been subject to parts-bin engineering or specific requests so
it's almost pointless trying to apply any details or specifics in any
alleged documentation. Again, we all know how good the Italians have
typically been at documentation. My mate's Ti Super has Solex (original
carbs, as confirmed by an ex-Dutch National team mechanic). I would be
interested what Tom Zat's car has. I bet they would be more like 45 DCOEs or
bigger.
