Well, with all that said, it looks like there is a good possiblity that I will be trading the dual Holleys for Webers this Winter.
And just so you know Jim (Race It), this is all your fault, and my wife will blame you.   |
John, Do it, do it, do it. This install is very, very easy. I took about 30 pictures of every step I took in removing the old 4bbl set up and installing the Webers and linkage and wrote down a step by step narrative of the whole thing, thinking that someday when I get some time, I'd write an article for some publication for those shady tree mechanics, like me, who were just a bit reluctant to tear into their BB FE's and put the whole thing back together. If you take your time, and are organized, it's easy and a whole lot of fun. Like you and others have said, there's a lot of fun in putting these together, and then the hunt for the tuning.
I just got back from a drive down Pacific Coast Hwy to Huntington Beach and then back on the freeway, and I could not be happier with these carbs. My car is a screaming monster and runs smoother than it ever did before. And that sound....
You won't be sorry. And there's no dyno, no electronic stuff to guess at, just mechanical stuff to guess at. It's really a fairly straightforward process if you read the references and study the earlier posts on CC. That cuts down on the guessing. And there's lots of guys on here that have taken the plunge and do their own wrenching to help you. Badda Bing!!
