I got my set of side draft carbs home that I bought from Dart Girl. I bought them sight unseen, and thought they would be Webers. I have a polished Clifford intake, and a set of side draft carbs that appear to be 40-44mm or so. They have S&K Racing stamped into the top covers and also have little metal tags on them that say TWM Induction, Galbreth, CA. They also have #8 AN fuel inlet fittings on the air horn side and #6 AN fittings on the tops. I'll get some pics of them tomorrow and see if I can get Doc to post them for me. :shock:

Also, Lou your header is here. :shock:

Carbs? TWM is the name of the company the Drakes got their throttle bodies from.

Thanks for the info guys! I saw reference to S&K Racing side drafts in there. I'll e-mail them and see if they can tune me up. Looks like they have moved on from carbs. :shock:

Dartgirl over on moparts? Aw man, I remember when she got that multi-carb setup. She was really excited about eventually putting them on. I guess she decided not to. I was hoping to see the results. If it's the same person, she has an awesome '72 dart swinger. Actually, I probably wouldn't have seen the results for some time, as I quit going there. The whole atmosphere had really gone into the crapper, and a mod was acting like Hitler, deleting whole threads containing posts he (or she?) didn't agree with. Without harping on the subject anymore, I decided that I just didn't need to be around that...so I stopped being around it. In any case, I hope you have good results with those carbs. I seriously doubt you would get ripped off by Dartgirl.

If they're not Webers they could be Dellorttos which are also Italian and look similar.

S&K carbs are webber workalikes. They can use webber parts and pieces. If you don't want them send them my way, I'll pay shipping.

:wink:

That's a very generous offer kesteb, but I think I'll be forced to pass. :roll:

I'm pretty sure they are stamped "Made in Japan", so I think D'ellorto's are out. :D

What you've got there are Mikuni carbs. Weber work/look alikes made in Japan. They are a great carb, some may say better than Webers. After all, they are made in Japan, not Italy. You ever known anything from Italy to work right? (FIAT, ahem)
