Car is headed into the shop this Friday. Pulling off the single Weber progressive carb and 009 distributor. My plan is to switch to Dual Weber 40's (on sale this week at AA) and upgrade the distributor to an SVDA 034 with an electronic ignition module (no points).

Engine is a stock 1973 2.0, no plans to convert back to factory FI.

How would this setup work on a 914 driver? Looking for solid performance across the RPM band with improved off idle response to get rid of the flat spot.
