I would be happy to take those weber carbs off your hands. ha ha I bought two 240z's awhile back for 700 and have been working on them whenever I am home from college, but I understand your frustration--my cars have had no end of little issues. I have ordered lock mechanisms and such from, I think its Black Dragon, maybe. They have all kinds of parts for decent prices. I would check them out. It would not help the removal, but might help with replacement parts.
