Hi guys, I just picked up a reasonably priced Dellorto 48 and was wondering if anyone could post some pics with their install as a side draft? I am interested in throttle bracket and OMP installation. I believe this one came from racing beat. Also, where to install the brake and distributor vacuum sources.
Thanks

 

Heres some old pics of my dell setup. I have a T on threaded into the manfold on the side to
take off vacuum for the brakes and also from a PVC vaolve connected to the middle iron vent
near the base of the oil fill tube.

 

Great thanks, I guess my Dellorto is the Racing Beat prepped one as it has a couple of small long hose fittings coming out of the body for the OMP.
By any chance do you know which jets and needle you were running? Or which ones I need for non-ported 12A?
Thanks

 

You should consult this site Gruntled.com - Dellorto Intake System. He has documented a lot about
the RB Dell setup, installation and jetting for various configurations.

 

Thanks...
Just one more request, how is the OMP connected to the carb? Can you post a pic?

 

Can someone ID the following jets? I am waiting for a manual but figured I'd ask.
Thanks

I have a thread where we installed my dell, you can see barbs that were pressed into my manifold for omp lines

 

If you look at my first pic you will see the OMP come up on the front side of the
carb and then plug into two nipples that should be on a RB prepped nikki.

 

I meant the OMP shaft not the lines... My carb actually has two small barbs that were pressed in on top of it. I assume Racing Beat carb.
Thanks

 

dellorto for 12-a has a nipple on the carb body. The OMP lines are connected there like the pix below. The omp rod is on throttle shaft facing the alternator.

 

RB provided one for the Dell as it is a bit different from the stock rod in both the
bends and the connection at the carb.

 

Anyone know if the linkage parts are still available? I need the throttle cable bracket and possibly the OMP rod connector.
Thanks

 

Make your own OMP rod using welding rod or similar. i believe the linkage is NLA but its not hard to fabricate

 

Thanks again... I'll see if I can strip it off the Nikki and adapt.

 

You could do that, or you could do what I did and buy a really really nice, adjustable throttle linkage kit. Here is my setup (my engine is currently blown as **** and the ca is 1700 miles away in pieces, but I digress). I didn't get to drive the car much, but the throttle feel was really good with this kit and it's highly adjustable (i think there are 9 separate adjustments)





Mine uses two throttle cables and the installation was slightly tricky but not too bad.

Available from here:

I think they are about $100. Not cheap, but high quality.

Edit: I converted to premix, so I can't offer any OMP suggestions, sorry.

 

A coat hanger makes a great source for the right sized wire to do the OMP linkage fab.

 

Damn, that looks nice, where did you source the parts?
Thanks for sharing
