Depends what kind of Weber (that's the correct spelling) carb you're talking about. A Weber DGV-type carb is basically maintenance free once it's tuned correctly, and it is available with vacuum takeoff for your distributor and either an autochoke or manual depending on what you have in your car. A DCOE-style sidedraft usually doesn't have provision for vacuum advance, so you'll need to move to a full mechanical advance distributor. You're probably better off rebuilding your SUs.

I agree with Adam B and would just add that apart from some intresting intake roar,unless you have done or are considering doing some extensive engine mods,fitting weber carbs ie a pair of DCOE's is a waste of time,and money.
