Weber lift off

[rokndad]

Well, after months of lurking around the various forums on CC, I finally pulled the trigger and retired the old Shelby Sidewinder and 950 DaVinci carb and went for a set of Weber 48 IDA's. I was torn between going with the Dynatek EFI and the carbs, but at the end of the day, it was the old school mechanics of the carbs and the pricing that made the decision for me.



I am very very happy with the Webers and can't believe the difference in throttle response. They're not quite fully dialed in, but like I think ENTDOC once said, it's the most fun I've had with this car.

I want to thank Phil Riobe from Miami and Stefan from Mallorca, Spain who put up with my millions of questions and for giving me their insight and experiences with these carbs. Once you get into it, it becomes relatively straight forward and all that scary talk of emulsion tubes and holders and correctors and jets starts to make sense. Without this site and the contributors, I wouldn't have had the confidence to tackle the whole tear down and reassembly alone. Thanks CC.
