Welcome to the DGV club, Pat! The PO fitted a Weber on my Spitfire, but it
was really out of tune and the linkage was bodged when I got it. Now that
it's set up properly, I'm really enjoying it. And yes, when the secondary
kicks in, the sound is cool!
Best wishes,

Subject: Weber On ! Dude
Hi all
I replaced my stromberg with a weber dgv today. Took 3.5 hours and
an hour of that was hunting down hoses and other parts for the heater
and emissions. I'll post a new page on my web site with the step by
step of the conversion, pics included.
I am pleased! It starts better, don't have to fool around with the
choke knob anymore.
It has noticeably more power, and it seems to run smoother. And it
really has this cool sound when the secondary opens, almost like a 4
barrell wide open !
All in all I think it was well worth it.
By the way, I beleive I saw one on Ebay in case anyone is interested.
THnx
Pat
