Well.. you CAN always get the FI stuff and go back... but this CAN be a big job too! Id get a good set of Stock Solex's and use them... youll avoid ALOT of hassle with messing with a carb that I dont believe will ever really be right on a stock setup engine... the Webers usually overcarburate things and the curve is wrong... MUCH easier setting up carbs that you know the correct jetting for and are the correct carb for the car. Keith > > I just bought a very original '68 Squareback.
