Inglese™ Excellence

For over 40 years, some of the world’s most legendary competition and GT cars -including the Ford GT-40, Shelby GT-350, and Detomaso Pantera, have featured high-performance Weber carburetion. For those looking for that same legendary power and performance they need not look any further than Inglese™. That’s because Inglese™ delivers that same awesome performance and extraordinary looks to those who demand the very best -with fully engineered, custom tailored Weber induction systems.

Capturing and assembling your imagination into a superb performing and visually stunning induction system is what Inglese™ is all about. All Inglese™ systems are custom-tailored to suit your application, with jetting, linkage, and overall setup that matches your engine’s needs perfectly –right out of the box.

Far from stopping at offering complete induction systems, Inglese™ is also your one-stop source for parts and accessories –helping you to keep your Weber induction system performing at its peak.

For over 27 years now, Inglese™ product superiority has been known the world over because of the unparalleled quality and craftsmanship built into every induction system. Inglese™ systems are unquestionably the standard for those seeking both performance and astounding good looks.

The fact that Inglese™ is the standard of the industry is no accident, because every unit that’s assembled goes through a rigorous and precise process before it is shipped.

To illustrate the immense amount of detail that’s required we have assembled a pictorial of a high performance street Small Block Ford fuel system. The photographic sequence takes you from the beginning to the end of the process and provides a clear sense of what it takes to build the finest Weber fuel induction system in the world.

Starting with a Weber 48 IDA carburetor the process begins. Every unit is subjected to a complete disassembly and blueprint assembly upgrade to make it a state of the art street performing carburetor.

The disassembly begins with the removal of the top of the carburetor. Next the carburetor jets are removed for inspection and replacement. At this stage the jetting size is analyzed for use in the specific application for which the unit is being assembled.

This unit will utilize the Inglese™ high speed jet application that makes it the ultimate high performance unit for its specific use at cruise and wide open throttle settings. Each piece is inspected and where required will be exchanged for the part that is specific to the application for which the carburetor is being constructed.

Removing the pump jet is next. This step precedes the removal of the venturi.

The pump jet is removed and inspected to check the bypass valve. Pump jets have numeric value stamped on them that indicate the amount of fuel that’s pumped into the carburetor. The higher the number - the higher the fuel volume that’s pumped.

Next, the venturi is removed. The venturi is subjected to a close inspection. During this process each venturi undergoes a deburring process and they are also polished to facilitate optimum air flow.

In this photo the Choke is being removed. The size of the choke for any given application is critical for maximum performance. For higher rpm engines the choke will be changed for best performance at high rpm. Chokes are also deburred and polished for optimum air flow.

For reference each choke is numbered with a metric diameter, reflecting the cfm of the unit. The choke, and thereby cfm for each barrel can be tailored specifically for the intended application. As numbers go up the size of the choke orifice also increases-thus providing higher cfm values.

In this photo the float system safety wire is being removed so the float may be inspected and reset for proper use in its application.

The float level is critical to proper fuel distribution. In this photo the float assembly is being taken apart for inspection and float level reset.

With the use of precise, custom made Inglese™ templates such as this needle and seat tool, the float is reassembled and calibrated for the specific application of the carburetor.

This is the inlet and discharge valve jet (located in the bottom center of the bowl, as shown). It determines the amount of fuel the pump jet receives. Inglese™ makes adjustments to eliminate potential hesitation during acceleration.

This photo shows the inspection of the accelerator pump. The accelerator pump applies fuel to the pump jet.

This photo shows the inspection of the butterfly in the carburetor. Butterflies require precision adjustment to insure the proper closing and stick-free operation.

The needle and seat for the float adjustment is shown here. It is inspected, adjusted, and replaced as needed for quality before the carburetor is reassembled.

Next, the fuel filter is taken apart and inspected. This is the final step before the reassembly process.

With all of the inspections and adjustments complete the carburetor is reassembled and ready to for assembly on the intake manifold.

Prior to assembly of a complete unit, many carburetor units are custom painted. Many customers want a special look and Inglese™ provides a wide variety of colors for a desired look. This photo shows a carburetor unit that has been painted per a customer requirement.

This is a Small Block Ford intake manifold that will be used in the final assembly of the induction system shown in this pictorial.

As shown in this photograph, the intake manifold is plumbed to accommodate all the vacuum accessory requirements for its application. Note the number on the edge of the intake manifold. Each unit is stamped with a unique serial number that identifies the application of each unit and records are kept on file.

Here is the end result of a fuel system by Inglese™. For quality and outstanding looks there is nothing better than
an Inglese™ fuel induction system.
