Hi Hal,
I'm running triple side draft Solex 45s on my street 3 litre Volvo. They were very popular in Sweden with the guys who raced the 1800 and 3 litre Volvo based cars there. They perform quite well though they're heavy on gas (maybe that's my heavy left foot). They appear to be quite rare in North America and parts are very difficuIt to come by here. I had to secure rebuild kits from England last year. I also recall a guy called Churchill in England racing a 3 litre Volvo Marcos with triple side draft Delortos with good results. However your best bet would probably be to go with Webers as Garry suggested because people over here are more familiar with them and you'd probably find them easier to get set up for your application.
Regards,
Paul Dransfield

I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on carbs. I have always had great luck with side draft delortos on my Alfas. As I am building my vintage racer I have to keep in mind what was available in 67. So please inundate me with all of your experience and preferences
