The WORST carbs-SU's! Those g-d things would always freeze up un cold, damp weather, and were impossible to synchronize!
A carburator? what's that?
Sorry...I disagree. Somehow, a slammed 96 Civic Coupe with a loud tin can exhaust doesn't do it for me.
Carnut, I recommend a cam from Competition Cams. The last time I built an engine, a 390, their hottest hydraulic cam really woke it up. I can only imagine what they could do for an engine that actually breathed.
The mechanics learned to epoxy them into place!
Webers are terrific carbs but it takes a while to dial them into each particular car. And you need lots of extra jets and manuals. In general, Weber conversions put on cars that never had them don't seem to work out very well...for all the expense, you get poor gas mileage and on some cars no noticeable power gain (like MGs--waste of money). But they can save your life on cars like the Mercedes 190SL or BMW Bavaria, which have very inferior stock carburetors from the factory... so even if you have to spend $1,000 and you waste gas, at least you get a car that will run every day.
