If I were you, I'd find out exactly what that means before I throw $600 at this place.

that setup i quoted to him was for a 48 DCO weber sidedraft, with proper linkage , proper jetting, bigger needle valve, acc. pump jet, intake manifold, air cleaner, all nessisary gaskets needed and match porting on the intake manifold...with shipping included..... plus i throw in some x-tra jets so you can play around a little bit, ...

i have all size carbs in stock from 40 mm to 55 mm.... all carbs are jetted to each order as each setup is different... ie, porting, altitude, driving styles , power band needed, exhaust , etc. i also have IDA carbs available but very costly ...

That doesnt sound too bad 680. Actually a damn good price from what Ive seen. Its all new too right? Damn, I may be calling you up sometime when I have money. Ive always wanted a side draft carb, they look cool (I guess they perform ok too ).

How can you afford to sell them 150 - 200 dollars less than atkins and mazdatrix. Are the parts used?

the mark-up on webers is outrageous!!!the parts are all new guaranteed to work good!!!! p/s at that price im still making some money... with a good carb and exhaust setup you get in my opinion the most bang for your buck and the car is still reliable and best of all NO MORE RATS NEST!!!!

You know, you CAN get rid of the rat's nest using a stock carb...



...Not that I wouldn't love to have that Weber setup! -WG
