Yes. A simple "cookie sheet" is the simplest way to deal with it.
Been there, done that. With Webers, you need as much instant access to them as you can get. That cookie sheet is problematic. You have to get it out of the way first to get to the carbs and linkage.
I used a piece of 1/4" clear lexan bent down with a heat gun and solid covers over the "jet screens" to minimize the water IF the car ever got wet? A clear roof as it were.
The Lexan is mounted to the louvres which open with the decklid so as soon as the deck is open, it is out of the way. You can't make it any faster than that.
One observation here is the height of the velocity stacks. 5" seems to be the right number for this car. The "fuel plume" only seems to rise just over the top of the stock 2-1/2" stacks. 5" keeps it in the stacks and reduces the need for the new fangled "Weber cam".
That certainly did not exist in 1972 for sure.
Curious that I came to the same conclusion as the factory on that? Purely coincidental I'm sure?
I do question the solution of supplying air through snorkels to the direction of the 1/4 window openings though. That would only work if your stick the snorkel completely out of the opening and face them forward.
I feed mine from the sugar scoop. It blows air directly down into the opening in which the Webers live.
