From my very limited experience, the biggest problem is getting the linkage right, and was much harder with my old Kadrons. Webers have a much better linkage system. That said, they ran properly when I first put them on the car, but after a month they seemed to go out of whack. Car has the potential to go much better than before, as it did at first. I have heard that their infinite adjustability also means that they need infinite adjustments. I hear different stories from different people...Good luck.:beer

If they have the correct vents and jets and its set up properly i think yule be sweet,take it down to wolfsburg motors at St.Peters if you dont want to tackle it.😉

I would go back to webers at the drop of a hat!

BUT

To do it cheaply and easily you do need to know a bit about carbs. It would cost a bomb to drive in drive out and have it set up perfectly and not have touched a spanner your self.

IF you dont mind tinkering - go the webers.

IF you want great carbs and have the money - pay some one to go the webers.

If you are broke and are not mechanically minded and need a reliable car - leave it stock

Check this out dude,then have a look at your carbs check Main venturi size should be 28mm u can see from the top of the carb looking down the throat it will be engraved 28 maybe with a torch.Then unscrew no. 50 emusion tube holder write down what u have.So u have to check N0. 50,49,48,47 and 15 which is the main venturi.From what ive read u should be after something like 28 vents,55 idles,120-125 main jets but dont change anything till u get it running.Goodluck dude. http://www.racetep.com/weber/40IDF70.pdf

I would be happier with 32 vents.

That is what i had and they ran suberb on a 1600 but i thought choked on a 1776. I would have liked to have tried 34's.

Personal opinion - i would be starting with 34's

http://www.aircooled.net/new-bin/viewproductdetail.php?keyword2=FSK0020&cartid=

have a look at the last option here. AC.net put 34's in for a 1600 when setting them up. I reckon you will only need to tune em again if they have 28's.

See..... difficult already.......

ave fun dude!!
