[Healeys] webers

[Warthodson at aol.com]

I would like to hear from those of you who have installed triple  twin choke 
side draft Webers (Model 45DCOE) on your big Healey  engines. I am considering 
restoring my 3000 as a loose replica of a  Sebring racing Healey. I am not 
concerned about being historically accurate. The  engine would be prepared for 
the street, probably as follows: bored .060"  over, under 10:1 compression for 
premium pump gas, BJ8 cam or perhaps  slightly more duration. Exhaust header. 
I will be using a BJ8 transmission &  overdrive. Also, stick rear Diff. gears. 
 
I am interested in hearing if you have been able to successfully tune  the 
Webers for good street driveability (SP?). Also, what are your gas  mileage 
experiences when cruising along at 60-70 MPH.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on the subject?
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
