hey guys, im looking to try to make my 78 run better than it does. right now i'm using one of 2 stock carbs i have laying around, but i know i'm not getting good performance out of it. i've heard a lot of great things about weber. i wanted to know if anybody could list what makes them so special, or what i should look for if i try to buy one.

check out http://www.carbs.net - they sell the kit and carb as a package.

They are pricey, but most people think they're worth it.

here's the kit and carb...

a weber will most likely breath some new life into your motor, plus it's a simple carb and parts are cheap and readily available

I've spent a lot of time adjusting and working on both the stock carb and a Weber. The weber I only read the adjustment procedure a couple of times and now I can easily do it from memory. The stock carb I still get the book out every time I work on one. The Weber is just so simple to tune, you can do it in 5 minutes with one screwdriver.

If you go with the Weber 32/36 progressive you get a dead simple carb with a lot less moving parts than the stocker. The airflow and fuel delivery are much improved, and you can expect not only an increase in HP, but usually also better mileage too. (At least once you get over the initial "playing" around with the added HP ) The only fault really is that the Weber will usually not pass the inspection part of emissions testing. Regardless of whether they put out more or less crud into the air, they have not been certified so they are not allowed.

If your going with a after market carb I have a offenhauser dual port manifold that works well on the LUV engine if your interested I will take a picture tomorrow.
