They're Webers but for $150 with manifolds and air cleaners it look like a good deal. Unless corroded would expect to see $300-400 price on them.
I'm lost. Your heading reads, "Dells Wanted". These are Weber DCNFs.
Did you score? --- or were you a day late, again.
If I had my choice between those and a pair of 40mm Dellorto DRLAs at three times that price, I would go for the Dells.
Actually, I would go for a Dell over a Weber anytime, just for ease of working on them.
Sorry for not clarifying. Been looking for Dells for the 2110 w 44 Webers. I rarely see them and seem to miss them by a day.
Posted the 40 Weber because they looked like a great deal but I've never researched the prices of the 40 Webers, I could throw them on my back up 1600.
They aren't Dellortos. They aren't IDFs. They aren't IDAs. They're the step-child of the Weber family, DCNFs. They may be wonderful, but they're not very commonly used.
Spend what you need to get what you want. Buy once, cry once.
DCNFs are Gene Berg's stepchild! Didn't he pioneer them back in the day?
Even I would rather have Dells than those particular Webers. But as to IDF, buy the cleanest Italian or Spanish ones you can find.

Berg might have championed them, but they were Ferrari carbs. The only advantage I can think of is that they are compact. Good luck with linkage and parts.
Still have a set of 36 DCNF's with berg manifolds and I sold the Berg linkage. They were compact for sure, real short under the deck lid.
As I understand it, DCNF's were the predecessor to IDF's, which were invented when they found that DCNF's had problems with fuel bowl slosh in some configurations. The IDF's superior float bowl design solved this problem. A friend had a set on a 69x88, though, and never had any problems on the slalom course (and he was a dedicated parking lot slalom enthusiast). He loved them. Berg sold the 40 and 42 DCNF and claimed to have done modifications so they would meter properly on a VW engine. As Stan and Mike said, they are easy to fit in a beetle engine compartment. Al
DCNFs: very good for lining up atop a 60-degree V engine. Put three on your Cologne or Fiero V6. Put 6 on your BMW V12. Instant Ferrari.

No, no, no...... Never on a Fiero. Leave the EFI on there alone. Going to carburetors makes it undrivable AND, if you can make it barely drivable, your fuel mileage will turn to crap (like, 15-ish). Fiero V6's were a weird bunch.
GM's Fiero EFI was bullet-proof and easy to work with.
I always thought the DCNF was a single carb set-up. They always tended to have float bowl percolation problems in dual situations unless you used intake manifold insulator blocks. They also flooded on hard cornering for some reason.
Some guys loved them. I never did.
I have never had any problems with my 42 dcnf carbs from Berg.
