Don't get me wrong Larry, Webers were used by many good racers back in the day, and they can still be a good choice if you like that kind of thing. Im partial to Holley's also. I think the Webers were more popular back then because most of all the aftermarket multi-carb intakes were Weber oriented or the primitive Rochester or Stromberg style, but not Holley. And yes, I can see how the Weber would be a better performance choice compared to those carbs. Once guys started making sheetmetal intake and using Holley's more and more, they switched away from the Webers.
