Background: I bought the 73 westy and only drove it from the trailer to the garage. This has been a nice slow restoration and I'm researching a final element.
I've read everything I can find in reference to operation of the auto transmission and a Weber single carb conversion done by the PO. It seems the vacuum created may not be enough to operate the trans properly.??
I'm asking for first hand experience-not what you've heard or think but what you actually experienced with this set up. Thanks, Jim

I have a 73 1.8l with the original vac operated auto trans and a single Weber progressive. Works great. No issues.
