Calling all Dell'orto owners/tuners
Alright guys I'm attempting to compile all the info I can on the Dell so I can put together a set of spreadsheets that will calculate the *ideal* setup for a any vehicle under any cicrumstances. I know this is going to be a monumental task but IF I can pull it off I'm sure it will be very useful to those of us who use the Dell, as well as giving a good foundation for Holley,Weber, Nikki, etc.
PLEASE POST THE INFO IN THE SIMPLEST FORMAT POSSIBLE AS THIS MAY SAVE MY EYESIGHT AND SANITY.

The Dell'Orto is an Italian copy of the orginal masterpiece, the Italian made Weber carb.
Read this article http://www.mazspeed.com/carburetorfacts.htm that I wrote in 2000 about carb tuning advice. I did not put any specific Dell'Orto jet sizes in that article, but the carb tuning theory about venturies, main jets, air jets, etc applies to all carburetors. I now have another 6 years Weber experience since I wrote that article. About the only thing out of date in that 6 year old article is that now I do not recommend Yaw carbs for 4 barrel applications anymore, simply because Paul Yaw seems to busy to work on them now. I would now recommend a Sterling carb for 4 barrel street applications now.

^Excellent man thanks. I have been into carbs for about 6 years and thought I had'em figured out pretty well but the more I look around the more I learn.
