Just weighing in with an SU vs Weber opinion, I'm back to SUs on my '66 with a later B20. The biggest problem with SUs, except for getting them tuned properly, seems to be worn throttle shafts and bushings. This allows air leaks and makes good adjustments almost impossible. I had my pair rebuilt by a reliable guy and the difference was like night and day. I adjusted them per Haynes and some other good SU books and they have been outstanding. Linkage adjustment is very important also. The Weber was a fair performer but my mileage suffered a bit and cold starting was a small problem. I live in southern AZ so the cold starting thing was not overwhelming. I guess my point is that if you have a good set of SUs, that may be the way to go. It worked very well for me. Hey, if you get that fuel gauge problem taken care of, I'd be interested in the findings. I think several other folks on this board would be too.
