YES - but don't 'over carb'

it.

WEBER 32/36 is the bomb,

with a side order of manifold

BUT, the biggetr the carb - Generally - the less smooth you'll be around town. We call that "drivability" issues.

the 32/36 with CDs special prescription applied, is good for stock or only mildly modified set-ups.

2 bbl downdraft...bolts onto your late 72 or later 2 bbl manifold with minimum fiddling, gets good gas mileage (better than the 38/38 Weber) and is much smoother running then the OEM Solex 2 bbl.

You can always go with one or two sidedraft Webers or Solexes, but you won't get a lot of extra performance from them with a stock engine. You really need higher compression pistons, a hotter cam etc...

Go for the 32-36 Weber...

And, will it just sit in the same fixture in the firewall as the stock part?

there is a single large hole at carb mount. Others have two small round holes. Some are water cooled (heated?), some are not. Which is better? When and why?

also in the manifold pic, the metel pieces between each cylinder runner looks like the metal has been cut out. Why is that? Just for looks?
