Yup, finally got a Weber, this is the 38/38 dgev (kit #662-38 ). I finally had it with the Hitachi's. It is a tight fit where the fuel lines go, and had to do some slight modification to the accelerator bracket, but all in all, a pretty easy install. The kit is lacking on the instruction side, it came with basic steps, and diagrams, but the pictures shown in the instructions they sent me were all of the 32/36 model. Just a little different from the 38, but like I said, I got-r-done with the help of a buddy.

Anyway, just thought I would share.

Chad

The kit was $395 including shipping. I don't have the link here at work that I bought it from but will add it tonight. As promised, here is the link:

This week will be the test, I commute 100 miles a day 3 days a week, so I will have more of an idea by the end of this week. I still have some tweaking to do to it to dial it in, but it seems to be a little peppier. Also, based on my drive this morning, seem to be doing a bit better on mileage.

I do believe it is the progressive. Seems to me that was mentioned, but like I said, the documentation I got with it, appears to all be for the 32/36. If you want I can take a different picture of it, just let me know what you would like to see.
