<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I have read a bit about Webers, most books say when
tested you get about the same HP out of an SU or Stromberg, but the Weber may be
puts out a few more HP on a very highly developed engine, but not much
difference in street driving. Real world I think people like the
difference in feel because the Weber has an accelerator pump that literally
squirts fuel down the throat when you hit the throttle, and so it has a nice
feeling of immediate power on tip in.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I would agree that for some people it is eye candy under
the hood, but also I think there is a mindset of people who prefer the webers to
"fiddly" SUs and Strombergs, unless you are really good, or lucky, tuning
can involve some trial and error, some people don’t like fiddly things, and
Webers are more "set and forget" (although in reality if you get SUs right, they
are too) even though the setting in the Webers can be a royal pain, as Randall
mentioned.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I finally had a car with a Weber for a while, thought it
was OK, still like my SUs, really a pretty nifty type carb, which gives a good
combination of power, economy and reliability.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Oh yes, you will get worse gas mileage with your Weber,
or at least most folks do.</FONT></DIV>
