To adjust each of those calibrated items, one has to have an assortment of
each to change in and out. And they are not cheap! Add into that the dyno
time in order to get everything dialed in and I'd favor sticking with triple
SUs.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Weber vs SU on a 3 carb Healey
IIRC there are 7
different calibrated items on a DCOE carb. Let's see if I
can recall them
all:
1. Chokes
2. needle and seat
3. idle jets
4. main jets
5. pump jets
6.
air corrector jets
7. emulsion tubes
Hey what do you know, I still remember
them all!
Anyway my point is, the carbs do not come out of the box set for the
car.
Most likely all 7 of those adjustable items will be wrong for your
buddies
car.
If you don't know Webers trying to dial in DCOEs is a stone
bitch.
The upside is a set of Webers does add 52 show power to the car.
Me? I
would stay with SUs.
