Randy:

As all the guys above said, they are a ***** to tune initially, but once they are set, they require virtually zero maintenace. I recommend you do not tune then yourself, find the best weber mechanic you can find. Be happy to pay him, it will be the best investment you can make. I also recommend you pick up a couple of reference books on webers and educate yourself as I did.

There is nothing sweeter than the sound of a set of webers sucking air when the car is running. I have also found that the webers produce significantly more torque and hp over a normal carb. on the little 289.

They only issue I need to watch out for periodically is fouling the plugs if the can is not "run" after each drive. Just to be careful, I change the plugs twice a year.

As to eye appeal, nothing gets the attention of the crowd better than a set of webers. My car is consistantly the crowd favorite. Check the pictures in the gallery. Any other help, let me know.
