Looking for some guidance...
I purchased the 124 I am working on for some fun and something for my younger sons to work on. When we bought it the guy did not know much about it. It had a lot of extra parts in the trunk. As I have gone thru the items it appears that these parts are not for mine. I have two additional carburetors and a manifold but I don't know how to identify them. Are there any markings I should look for that would identify the engine that they go to? Would like to put them up for sale for someone that may be looking for this specific type. Any Guidance is appreciated.

Re: Identify carburetors ?
Jeff, if the carburetors are Webers, there will be an identification number stamped into the base (bottom) of the carburetor, right on the "lip" that attaches to the intake manifold. It will be one or two numbers followed by some letters and then possibly some more numbers, such as 26/34 DHSA or 34 DMS or 32 ADFA. This model number would be on side of the carb that faces the engine (usually). From the carb model number, you can correlate with what cars it goes with (as far as Fiats).
Since intake manifolds are hard to describe in writing, I'd Google some images of "Fiat 124 spider intake manifold" and see if this matches what you have. If it's a Fiat part, there should be a part number cast into the metal somewhere.
