    I have run the weber setup you have pictured since 1983 - great upgrade over stock. If you have an auto, be sure to get the kickdown lever for the carb, or the tranny won't shift right without it. To really get the most from the Weber, get the taller air cleaner for it; I did that and it runs and sounds much better. You also need to change from the mechanical fuel pump to an electric pump mounted back by the tank in a pusher setup; the mechanical pump is too high of pressure and will overpower the carb causing flooding and needle and seat damage.
