Default Webbers

Do you know what specific races Essex Wire ran Webbers and in what class did it compete? The point here is that if the car ran an unlimited class it could run Webbers if it ran A production it could not, under SCCA rules. Mr. Ford still had an Italian made wife at the time I wonder how she felt about the no Italian parts edict.
I know that they explored both Webbers and mechanical injection on the CanAm
effort but have still not heard of a specific race location and date where a Webber 427 Cobra ran. The reason for my curiosity is that I asked Shelby American that very question in 1966 and was told that it wasn't necessary because the 427 had adequate power with the single four.
