THE WEBER DCOE45 INTAKE MANIFOLD

At one point in time I was considering the purchase of a supercharger from Moss Motors.  Priced at $4000, it exceeds my current budget.  So, I have decided to install a side-draft Weber carburetor.  The carburetor is used and needs to be rebuilt but rebuild kits are not at all expensive.  
The photo to the right shows the intake manifold for the Weber.  Since it is made of aluminum, I can bead blast it and it will look new.  
I plan to dismantle the carburetor tomorrow and let it soak overnight.  I took a peek inside and it is "full" of dirt and "varnish".  


Love this car...
