Weber DGV's will work fairly well, however they are not by any stretch an
ideal carb replacement for the Zenith Stromberg 175's. Set up properly,
the Z.S. carbs are fine and you find that installing an electronic
ignition will go a lot further with your money than upgrading to DGV's.
But, if you are deat-set on "upgrading", by all means do it.
Just budget $100 or so for a Crane Xr700 or better ignition box and
another $30 for a good coil. This is money well spent.
FWIW, I ran Weber DCOE 40's on my TR6 on the street for a couple of years.
They worked fine once I got them set up. However setting them up was a
pain because I did not have money or access to a dyno and weber savy
tuner. So, my other "advice" is that if you go with the Webers, find a
local dyno that is run by someone that knows webers and have at it.
Last point - I have no reference data for DGV jetting, you'll have to ask
around for that info.
If I was budget conscious, I'd get my ZS's rebuilt and buy an electronic
ignition box and that'd be that.
