Ok I get it the fuel doesn't stay atomized in the runners and this causes poor fuel mileage, drivabillity concerns etc, I understand. But for those of us poor souls who for one reason or another are committed to this carb (the holley weber), has anyone tried heating the runners either electronically or with a subsequent exhaust runner ie type 1 vw and if so did it help with any of the concerns. my second question could anyone post a photo of what the throttle linkage should look like. i have a stock throttle cable and a cobbed together carb from a type 4 kit that has the carb turned 90 degrees and the cable wont reach the carb. any help will be appreciated.

I started with the Weber 38/38 synchronous with the stock runners that come with the kit. I have since had runners made at FAT performance that are 54% larger. I then added the intake top and re-tuned the engine on the dyno. Now getting around 121 hp and seeing 13.8 Air/Fuel ratio. I think the 38/38 is a better carb than the 32/36 progessive that was used in years past.

Thank you for the photos, as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

The carb have is a DGV32/36 5A with a manual choke. I'm in AZ so the choke isn't that big of a deal.
