Not much to replace it with, most L16s are getting scarce and well worn, but re-building is a cheap alternative. Get your hands dirty... so to speak. A new weber is about $300 but you get everything you need, gaskets, adapter plate, air filter etc.

Weber Carbs Direct or Redline. A 32/36 would be more than big enough for an L16. Look for the direct replacement for an L16. I think the 521 had manual choke so you could skip the electric heater but they are convenient.

I ran a 32/36 on my 1.8. My boys and I are putting a l20b In our 69. Budget wise I am looking at the same, 32/36 progressive. I swapped the progressive for 1 side draft, don't remember the size (1983). I'm thinking for a daily driver for my 16 year olds that the down draft progressive should work just fine for now, any thoughts on that?
