Conversion of the carbs and compression ratio's

I hope to get down there and see it in the flesh.
Nother point about the triple carb conversion is that it is something that many would have fitted to a car like this even in the early post war period and it isn't at all out of place

I would agree that a carb conversion is something that could have been done in the early post war years. Didn't we do the same with early Giulia's (from one carb to two carbs)?
Angelo Tito Anselmi states in his book 'Alfa Romeo 6C 2500' on page 30 that the compression ratio's of the Sport and Super Sport engines are different too. These are the figures:
Berlinetta Sport 1939: 7,5 : 1
Berlinetta Super Sport 1939: 8,0 : 1
And to be complete:
Limousine Turismo 1939: 7,0 : 1
Berlina Tourismo 1939: 7,0 : 1
Torpedo Coloniale 1941: 7,0 : 1
Berlina Sport 1947: 7,0 : 1 (Freccia d' Oro)
Coupe Super Sport 1947: 7,5 : 1
Limousine Tourismo 1949: 7,0 : 1
Berlina Sport 1950: 7,3 : 1 (Freccia d' Oro)
Coupe Gran Turismo 1951: 7,5 : 1
So changing the carbs on an original engine doesn't make the car a Super Sport yet. Any additions, suggestions and comments on that?
Ciao, Olaf
