Have you tried doing an image search on google?

it should be good mate, a progressive is one that opens more as the throttle is increased. this one looks like a twin non progressive ie like twin carbs but in the one housing ie 1 throat for each side

It is a syncronis Weber-non progressive (both barrels operate at the same time).They go well on the 1600.They work the best when run flat out. Use an EFI fuel fliter on the inlet as they block up easily,otherwise good choice.:P

Definetely either a DCN or DCNF weber.

Dont run more than 3psi fuel pressure on them as it overpowers the needle and seat and overfills the fuel bowl.

Good all round carby - significantly better than standard, esp for a car that will cop a flogging.

Keep clear of the frosty mornings if ever you drive south. That modified manafold will freeze because it is not heated and out in the air. Had heaps of trouble with my 2L motor and webber set up. But I live in Central NSW not Brisbane

yes it's a great carby, but looking at the first pic the gasket needs a good haircut. I know it don't look much but it is. plus the stock filters are hopeless cause they let to much crap in.

The one I have looks the same (manifolds the same as well) and I've never than a problem with it..... but then I don't have problems with kadron ever.....😉

oh yep i see what your talkin bout mate, little brown buggers goin around the barrel... will get onto that... what filter set up you using moose? got a pic? it came without the filter so im lookin for ideas... obviously a high flowing filter that can handle sand and dirt bein thrown at it... ive seen some people running k&n pod filters that are mounted vertically... whats the deal when it rains?? these keep the water out?

RamFlo do filters for DCN's and DCNF's. I've never had a problem with them, but I aint a 'dune man' like moose is.

The carby I have set aside for 1.8L type 4 for the baja is a 40DCNF with a ramflow.
