Itstock,

I agree that poor tuning will ruin an engine...Problem is it SHOULD have been tuned when delivered! I lived in Texas, PE is in Ohio and the car was built in Connecticut. I also don't agree that Webers have to be constantly adjusted, or tuned. Once they are set, they should stay that way unless there is a change in altitude, or the linkage is not correct. All carbs work under the same basic principles to mix air and fuel. Webers are just more “fine tunable” than most carbs. A properly matched and installed dizzy gear should NOT fail with less than 5000 miles on it. Of all the cars I’ve owned (a number of them hotrods) I have never had a dizzy gear fail until now.
