I have the Webber Progressive on my '82.  It was a real pain to get
dialed-in, but now I have better power and greater economy than the FI
gave.  I know that FI should be more accurate, but since the system was at
250k miles, there were few good parts left.  I'm not sure if this carb is
for everyone.  It takes a lot of time to get set-up correctly.  I was
lucky, and was able to do it on a motor that was going to be replaced
anyway, so running too lean for a while didn't cost me anything.

Good Luck
