You know, the stock Solex carbs work REALLY well for a stock 
engine and are already jetted. There's no way you can set a value 
on the documentation that is already out there for these, and they 
already come with all the features that you need to make the car 
nicely drivable.

I could see that changing might be a challenge, but you'd spend a 
lot of time and money just trying to get it to run as well with the 
new carbs as it did with the old OE ones.
