There was (is) a model of Holley two barrel which I believe was used on
the Capri, that was in all but name a Weber progressive twin choke down
draught. I believe the carb was manufactured by Holley under license
from Weber.
One of our club members is running the Weber down draught on his 77 B
and when he needed an overhaul kit for it, the local NAPA counterman
found it listed as a Holley part # for the Capri.
