She puts up with me....I had 40 Vdubs behind the barn back in the day, but after almost 30 years of marriage she knows how I think (or don't think) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So any thoughts on this carb set?? They came with one of the cars I bought and are new, should I hang onto them, use them or sell them...Any advice would be great!

I have run the 40's on a 1.8 and with headers I was very pleased at the performance improvement over the L-Jet/Exchangers.
