mc2100/2150 vs weber

[amcfool1]

Hi I have noticed that almost nobody here runs the weber conversion sold by clifford. Personally I have had a 2100 on my 82 sedan since 2001, and will probably do it again. What is wrong with the Weber?, and why don't Eagle people use them? Cost seems to be about similar. thanks gz

Hi doesn't anyone here have an opinion on the Weber? Only reason I'm asking is because Larry at Clifford is trying to talk me into one! I probably won't get one, since I have 4 MC2100s in my shed, but still, it's intriguing.  Anyone....? thanks, gz

I haven't done either conversion but have thought about both in the past. From everything I read, the weber is easy to install and maintain but flows slightly less than the OEM Carter (better for MPG some point out). The motorcraft more flow and as some here point out a little more work is required to get it tuned to your car. My take has been its sort of like which tire is best, which oil/air filter is best. They all have similar qualities/performance so its all subjective after that. My carter is performing well so decided to hold off replacement until its time.

I just put a Weber 38 on mine and it works pretty well.  The whole conversion including the ECM Test bypass took about 3 hours and tuning a Weber is easy they are simple carbs that work well.  This is the second vehicle I have used one on and I will probably put one on the next "classic" car I buy.
