SOT: Weber DCOE vs. Weber 48 IDA

[ClayW]

I know that Weber DCOE carbs are sidedrafts and Weber IDA carbs are downdrafts, but does anyone know if they have the same or similar bolt pattern?

Thanks in advance.

doesn't look like it .. . . . ..

you can go to www. http://www.piercemanifolds.com/mid.html

Pierce Manifolds and study the parts listing yourself and tell us, please.

Look up base gasket part numbers for the two different carbs

Weber 48 IDA's (especially the original Italian ones) are what V-Dub lover's crave. As C.D. indicates above, they don't have the same bolt pattern as their smaller brothers 40 and 44 IDF (or DCOE). The 48 IDA was popular on Carroll Shelby's Cobras (amongst other Italian cars).
