New carburation conversion from two barrel progressive type carburator, to a larger two barrel synchronous type carburator.

This conversion has been done on a 1975 Lancia Beta Coupe, with an 1800cc engine. This type of carburator is a Weber DCNF. This type of carburator would normally be found on either a Lamborghini Uracco or a Ferrari 308.
