I've heard people talk of differences between the new ones and originals...any reason to go with originals other than originality (don't care about that, and I know they can be very difficult and costly to obtain)? Looking at new Weber setups, I've came across sources like www.webercarbsdirect.com and Inglese ( www.inglese.com ).
This raises a question...I see there's quite a difference in price for a complete 48 IDA setup (Weber Direct for ~$3000, Inglese ~$4500). So, is there any reason to pay more and go through Inglese? Are their setups the same (carbs, intake, linkages, etc)? I was wondering if their expertise is really what one would pay for going through them (I know tuning can really be involved)...anyone have any experiece? Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated!
FYI...I currently have a mild (Edelbrock Performer Package) '68 302 I'm going to put in the Fastback initially, but am looking at building an more aggressive but still streetable 302-based (331 or 347) stroker once the car is done and has run awhile with the 302. I know Webers are suitable for any engine, but I'm wanting them mainly for the stroker.
