it seems that north america didnt get fiat 125 but i ll fire a 
question anyway.

my 125 s got solex 34 paia and it s a bit dodgy all around.

1. is it possible to mount single downdraft webers used in fiat 
124s on 125 manifold?

2. if so, what would be good candidates?

if above options no good then probably 124 manifold should bolt 
on, but would there be clearance problems with block mounted 
distributor?

cheers

Hi Sam - I believe that the DHSA and DMSA series carbs are the 
same footprint as that Solex. We will have to compare 
measurements to be sure. Which motor do you have, the 1585, 1756?

its 1608cc
either i ll keep the stock cam or go slightly warmer
this is my daily driver so i dont wanna go nuts

cheers

the 1608 manifold is not too bad. The 72-73 dual plane 1608 
manifold has a bad rap. there was also a single plane 1608 (71), 
very similar to the 1800 manifold (75-78). all of the TC intake 
manifolds will fit the 1608 except for the early 1438. The 34 
dmsa carb is about the largest of them all, as found on the 74 
124's. The 28/36 DHSA is not bad either. the footprint is 
45x93mm across the studs (diagonal measure is 115mm). the N.A. 
single plane 1608 manifold is 29mm and 38mm, for the primary and 
secondary, respectively. they all should accomodate the block-
mounted distributor..pete 

thanks pete
