Both Webers and Dell'Ortos are quality Italian carbs - many of each were fitted to European Hi-Performance cars such as Alfa Romeos from the factory.
The Dell'Ortos may be known as 'poorman's Webers' but in some quarters they are considered better 'street' carbs. They are more equivalent to the later DOCM rather than DOCE Webers.

Have a search for 'Dell'Orto' and/or 'DellOrto' in the Search on this site: Here's a taste ......
