That, my friends, is a Predator variable venturi carburetor on a Z-car. It is similar in function to the SU but in a downdraft. It uses two "air doors" above the throttle plates that open up with the airflow and regulate the amount of fuel the engine sees. There is a wing shaped fuel bar in the "shadow" of these doors that forms the venturi and draws the fuel from the bowl. I wanted to try one on one of my cars but since they were designed for big honkin' V8s, I figured it would be too much carb. Besides, I think they are a bit pricey too.

Sorry...try this one...

Thanks! Great paint job!

Is that a weber setup?
If it is, what kind of intake manifold did you used?

Daniel,

Actually, they are 44 mikuni

Cannon? Can you post an image? Will a 40 DCOE Weber fit?

Thanks for the info.

I'm sure it will, I'll double check my spare intake and carbs...
