Anyone out there ever try a real Weber 32/36 inplace of the stock Holley/Weber on a Pinto or (?) IT-B racer? How much did it, if any, help your car? I have a box full of Holley/Webers. Is the change worth it?

Dick, The 32/36 DGV Webber made a ton of diffrence like 3 second a lap at Willow Springs. We had to add a fuel pressure regulator and play with it a bit. Which I thought was odd but it works well. Had to customize the linkage. There sure is not much to them and we still have the 1st on we bought. Later glenn

I remember reading in various car magazines back in the 70s that the 2.0 manifold made 6 more HP than the 2.3 manifold, but an adapter plate had to be made that bolted to the 2.3 head, and then the 2.0 manifold bolted to that. Six ponies just from the 2.0 manifold on the 2.3 head! Of course this would be illegal in IT! The 2.3 manifold was made in the shape it has so it could be made using a permanent mold, and the ports were curved to accomodate it. Exactly the reverse of what is proper for power,and because of this, the intake ports have four different shapes, and they ALL suck! But Ford saved a lot of money on the manifolds.
By the way, Dick, did you get the documentation I sent you?
