Total newbie question, I'm sorry if there's some terribly obvious answer for this. I bought my 73 240Z a couple months back, and the old owner told me that it had dual Weber carbs. Is there any way to tell right off the bat if I have DCOE's or DGV's? The carbs don't have air cleaners, and I was looking to order something from Longflow or K&N.

If you have two down draft carbs, they are DGV. DCOEs are side draft and are triple carbs. Welcome to Zdriver

Thanks for your help! I've definitely got the DGV's. My Camaros have always ran with K&N's, I think I'll be sticking to them.

Would you mind posting a pic. of your engine bay, Malikot? I'd like to see any mods. that have been made.

The car is at a friend's house (he's storing it on his side yard til I can get it registered and park it on the street without it getting towed off), but I should be able to stop by there tomorrow to snap a few pics. I'll post up as soon as I have them uploaded.

First post here on zdriver. How big of a difference in power/fuel economy does switching from dual SU's to triple webers make? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't seem like there are any other mods on the engine, but if you see anything please let me know. You can go here to view the pics- http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n301/malikot18/ The label on the carburetors says "Redline-Weber 32/36 DGV5A." There are also a few pics of the interior too. Thanks for the help everybody!
