The real irony of it all is that it now runs better and pollutes less but would not pass a smog test in many areas.
Almost anywhere it would not pass I believe altering the smog stuff is federal. Pretty short sighted in many ways if it meets or betters the limits and if it increases mileage it's even worse.
The Weber is a good carb for replacing old OEM units - but as you alluded to, the mere
fact that it isn’t OEM is a deal breaker as far as the Feds are concerned.
Thankfully there are not that many vehicles
that use carbs on the road anymore - even older cars can now benefit from a good aftermarket throttle body fuel injection system -
