That’s the rough plan for now.

I haven't played with Webers for decades. :rofl2: Once set-up. They are sweet. But getting there can be a PITA sometimes.

You will need one of these to help balance them. I had a couple of them a while back.

Have one of these now.

I’ll have help setting them up. I am not at all up to speed on carbs.

...but I will be!

I had a '71 with a stroked 280z motor (3.0 liter) and triple 44 mikuni's. They were fairly easy to set up. Why did I ever get rid of that car? :mad:

Nice find, enjoy the build.

Snow slowed progress getting her home but we made it.
