New Carburetor

I finally got the new Weber DGV Carburetor installed together with a peco header and exhaust. The whole thing was installed by Flying Circus English Cars in Durham. First the Carb. The DGV is the manual choke version. (DAGV is water and DEGV electric). The carb is a twin barrel downdraft with the 32mm barrel opening at low throttle and the 36 opening at higher throttle. You get better gas mileage and still nice performance when you need it. The carb came with a new header as well. Here are some pics of the set up.







And a picture of the engine bay...

Nice article and pictures about the Weber 32/36 DGV in the MGB. I don't see the heat shield installed between the exhaust manifold and the carb. Does the original heat shield fit in between?

I left off the heat shield and I think many do. There is quite a lot of space between the header and the carb, so heat issues are not really a problem. I never had any trouble with it.
