Weber's - Page 2

Thanks for all the input guys, but I think we've jumped off the subject just a bit. First I need to get the weber's AND a manifold, THEN I'll worry about the jetting and such. Cal, I know you said you have a set, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but I was born and raised a tight ass so I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. Let the games begin.

Thanks Guys,

Jim

Walter,
I am not trying to worry you about you rset up. In fact I am happy for anyone who has webers because they are the best looking most responsive induction I know of. Sure there may be others but I like the webers. I truly hope you don't have any problems and if you do someone here can solve them for you. Happy motoring my friend, and enjoy the webers!

Bob,
You are correct with your opinion of Jim Ingelese as far as I know he is truly knowledgeable about these set ups and has built some outstanding units. He sold the business to Mickey Lauria and that is when it went down hill, in my opinion. Mickey does know these sytems, he just does not care about real customer satisfaction. As far as the other guys that are there now ,that Cal mentioned I have never talked to them so I do not know.

Jim,
Your right. This thread did get off tract and I apoligize for my assistance in doing so. I'll try to stay on track.

My system was a very nice looking unit. It just took years to get it to run right. Thanks again Cal, Enzo and Roger.

A most excellent thread! Ton o' knowledge, experience and frustration evident throughout.

Allow me to swerve the focus a bit. My goal right now is to get an old (pre-'74) 351W, and top it with Webers. It seems many people I talk to try to talk me out of it. First, they say go Cleveland instead of Windsor. I'm pretty set on Windsor, so that doesn't get too much of my attention. But, what I'm getting a lot of is the old "Webers are a bi*$@ to tune!". I have nada experience with tuning carbs, so it will all be new to me. What I do know is I want, and will have, stacks on my engine. Should I look at a stack EFI system, given my lack of skills with carbs? Or, should I stick to my guns, and have the pleasure of the real deal, recognizing how "dated" they may be? Is the HP book on Webers worth purchasing?

Hopefully those that are into Webers and stacks in general are keeping an eye on this thread and will provide me with $.02.

late.

Used Webers and manifolds have been selling for $3000-4000 on Ebay as an fyi. I have not checked in the last few months, but they are probably still holding that value.

Mine run OK, transition from 1300RPM to 2000RPM produces a stumble/cough/spit if I mash it. Hasn't bothered me enough yet. What does bug me is the way the fuel pressure drops when I slam on the brakes.

P.S. Ron, tried calling you at the office number you sent me around 11:30 to "chew the fat" , just rang.
