Does mean they sold that many for Sprites OR have they sold that many for
various cars but JET THEM ALL THE SAME!!
The only book I have on Webers is the Haynes. It does not help any on the
tuning, just on the how to take apart and put back together.>>
But it does show you the position of the calibrateable parts.
<< 1. What is a good book on tuning Webers?>>
Vizards A-Series book has a good section in it.

Check the sizes of the main venturi first followed by Auxillary (booster)
venturi. BE SURE you have some ram pipes/horns/trumpets fitted to the carb -
will run like a pig without out them!!

Larry, just e-mail me, the list, or David Anton at A.P.T (aptfast.com) - find
out what you have first before buying anything.
<<I don't have any numbers on the parts that are in it now as I don't know
which parts I need to be concerned with.>>
You need to refer to the parts by the name given to them in the manual. What
they have on them should be a size - this is all the matters because the parts
are sold by size although a full part reference number does exist.
Finally, do check the ignition timing is ok - the engine may even need a
distributor with no vacuum advance and a competely different curve to stock.
