[Roadsters] Weber and manifold

[David Boerst]

Hi all,

I want to get rid of the SU type carbs. I have 3 MGs and have had many more for 30 years. I need or shall I say my woman needs?/wants a dependable sports car. She has a 1986 Honda Accord and a GMC 1 ton van. She keeps getting stranded and I have to go and get the car running. By the way the car has a after market tube header, medium lift cam. I have been building small block Chevys for 3 decades also. I shoe-horned a 302 ci (327 block with 283 crank) dual quad tunnel ram, 12 1/2 to 1 forged pistons, 202 heads.....you get the picture into a 1954 Austin Healey 100-4 and a similar engine in a 1964 TR-4 both tubbed with a 9" rearend.

I need a "child proof" carb system. I am also looking for metering rods as one is bent and the choke piston sticks. Car is very hard to start. I am thinking since the breathing has already been updated a Weber system might be the way to go.

Does the Weber or any other carb have an accelerator pump?
