You're welcome.

Are you going to show it or race it? I was thinking about showing the
Pantera either Saturday or Sunday but I can only get one day of from
work.

Thanks for the update. Given what used Weber setups go for, that's not
too bad. $500 per carb (times 4 carbs) plus $400 for the intake plus
aircleaners and linkage and you should still be under $3000 grand.
Pricey, yes but not outrageous. Still, I'd rather go EFI with that
sort of budget.

Sounds like it would be fine for the track but not good on the street.
A friend was toying around with what he calls a de-jection system.
Basically a mechanical system with the pill set up for wide open throttle
and rich everywhere else. His idea was to add an O2 sensor and use it
as a signal to open the bypass and lean out the mixture during part
throttle operation. Interesting approach.
