427 s/o, I have no background on webers. I bought the car which had a 1965 side-oiler with this set-up on it. The prior owner told me as long as I kept the linkage tight there was no tuning. We dyno'd the car and it was slightly lean so we made it richer. I drive the car in the city only and webers are made to run. I put a carb on it which fit my driving style. Note, The webers made 50 ft lbs more of torque to the rear wheels than the carb does. With the webers on,my side pipe brackets kept breaking due to the torque. They are fine with the carb. I do miss the "eye candy" from the weber set-up. Todd
