<\/a>If you are restoring a 750 Veloce and you don’t have a pair of Weber 40DCO3’s, your wallet is in for a shock.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A complete functioning intake group like that pictured above is probably the best way to purchase these parts. Even with a set-up like this there is no guarantee they all came from the same car but when you buy the bits one at a time off ebay the cost is maximized and the parts may need some fettling to get them to work together. <\/span><\/p>\n The parts below are currently on eBay ending 6\/22\/08. The pair of matched Webers are the jewels of the group and the seller is wise to separate them from the rest of the Alfa parts because they are common to several other period Italian cars, expensive Maseratis among them. The pair is considered matched if the serial numbers are close. Pictured here is the top cover for 40DCO3 3779, the other is 3787, matched enough for me!<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Those wing nuts sell for $40 regularly. The whole plenum is usually about $400, so the starting bid of $500 on this may never be seen.<\/strong><\/p>\n The prices of these components are not so shocking to me now as they were when I first became aware of how special and rare they were. I think the price of 40DCO3’s has more than doubled in the last year, of course a lot of that is due to the Dollars slide compared to the Euro. I wish I had a spare couple thousand dollars laying around, I might me tempted, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea if these continue to go up.<\/p>\n<\/a>This set-up ended on eBay a few weeks ago for $3062 and change. Probably a pretty good deal since it all came from the same car. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Just so you know it’s not Bologna Japan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Sand cast carbs take on this powdery gray appearance, one wants to be careful of what cleaning techniques are used on these. It would be a shame to mess these up.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Some of the guts exposed. They look pretty good on the inside.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>I believe the mounting bolt pattern on DCO3’s is different than later DCOE’s, so you need this manifold if you are going to use the carbs above. Starting bid is $350.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Water passages are integral in later manifolds. To use the DCO3 manifold above requires this tapered water pipe. Starting bid is also $350.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Very nice welds on this water pipe. It could be reproduced, but would likely cost the same as buying an original one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>These plenums come up for sale more often than the rest of the parts seen here, probably because they were used on the early 101 Veloces that used Weber 40 DCOE2’s.\u00a0 Noted below, the 750 and 101 versions are different.
