Things to keep in mind:
do not go nuts on a lumpy cam--not that Webers can't be tuned to one but it really isn't necessary and you will avoid tuning headaches.

48 IDA's like about 3-3.5lbs of fuel pressure. a pressure regulator is a must. You can use either a mechanical or electric fuel pump

A return line is not needed

Nor are vacumm lines needed

Which choice of manifold Thermostat or Cobra is up to you. The Cobra is period correct. Other than Cobraphiles most folks won't notice the difference.

44 IDF's are easier to tune initially and it is said a more streetable setup, the 48's are a race carb but once tuned correctly are oh so sweet---getting them to that point just requires patientence and perserverance
