So this junker/roller I just bought has a 1.7 with dual Solex carbs. I've got webbers on mine, but whice are better? Are the Solex worth anything? Better than the webbers?

I forget, but there is a difference bewteen the split shafts and solid shaft Solex carbs. One of them, the splits I think can be bored out to 44's. Got a couple of 356 guys who have done it and swear by Solex over Webbers. Since they are a factory carb, they are/were better than the webbers of the day for sure. If they are in decent shape and split shafts, i would keep them, but I have seen many pairs go for $300-400 in decent shape, but needing a tune up kit and cleaning.
