I just swapped a guy a diff I had to get rid of for a carb the he said was a webber.
Does anyone know how I can tell what sort of webber it is?
all I know is its a downdraft but I dont even know if it really is a webber
Any help would be good

It should say 'weber' somewhere on the carb. also on tle bottom plate bit on the side it should say what type it is. eg 32 36 DGV (Im not 100% sure on that one though)

They have part numbers stamped and usually have the Weber logo or name in the casting, depending on the year.

It doesn't say weber on it anywhere
It says Eltra on it
Have I been ripped off?

No, it cant be. Those barrels are different sizes. It looks healthy though, whack it on and see how it goes.

its a late model 32/36 motorcraft, identical to a webber just take off the top plate and it will say holley/motorcraft in the fuel bowl, the only difference to a webber is that the primary and secondary throats are on opposite sides! which means nothing
