Like will it fit on a supersix intake? Size? Is it progressive?

My little 1920 is getting kinda beat and I was looking to go to a better carb and im not really a fan of the BBD.

Kinda hard to tell from the pic what model it is, but looks alot like what Im using. The 32/36 will fit and work on the super6 manifold. I like it cause I didn't have to do alot of mods for the linkages.

I believe, that is the smaller version of the 32/36 weber. That carb would come off something small like an Escort. It is better used for dual intake manifolds.
You want the 32/36DFEV or 32/36DFAV Weber or the Holley/Weber 5200(FORD) or 5210(GM). These all will need an adapter.

Im looking for max fuel mpg. This is on my daily driver. So if there is a better carb that will bolt to a stock manifold it might be something that I want to look in to.

Any idea of a stock aplication for the carb that bolts on so i can price them at the local parts stores?

What do the "32" and "36" mean? Barrel size in mills? "DFRV"?

Sorry for the 20 Q's... these carbs are very new to me.

A Weber 32/36 (DGEV, etc.) is not a direct fit to a Super Six manifold. I did use a Weber 32/36 DGEV on a Super Six manifold before, but I needed to use an adaptor (was for some Datsun) that I modified by hand. 32 refers to the primary throttle bore size of 32mm, and 36 refers to the secondary bore size of 36mm. The convention for model names and even part numbers of Weber carburetors is often arbitrary. According to a book I have, in DGEV the D might stand for doppio corpo, or double throat, G might stand for German (refering to the side the throttle linkage is on), E could stand for die cast carburetor or electric choke, and V stands for verticale (Italian for vertical ;-)) or downdraught. Beautiful Italian carburetors that were named however Weber wanted to name them when they were designed.

OH, and even though they aren't a direct swap for a stock carburetor, in my experience I was able to get good mileage. (20mpg running lean, spark plugs light tan to almost ashy) I never tried the BBD because the one I got with my Super Six manifold was complete junk.

Stovebolt is selling the carter/weber 2bbl progressive carb. Its an 80's application for the 4 cyl ford escort as well as the capri v6's and others and were also labeled as Motorcraft carbs.

Langdon sells the new carbs, linkage, adapters along with detailed instructions and literature on tuning/rebuilding the carb.

The adapter he sells is shown below. Bore size is 1-1/2" and can take up to a 3" stud spacing. Height is 1-3/4". The carter/weber is 4" tall from the base to the top of the air horn.

This is a carter 1 bbl from a 230 flathead ply motor and the carter/weber

This is my slant tripower with the carter/weber setup. My project is still in the build stage so I can't report on the drivibility yet. Tom Langdon at stovebolt has told me I will have no problem with the setup. If you run one carter you should probably go with bigger jets.

I'm also going to try and run a set of dual carters on my flathead Nash motor using Langdons adapters.

The DFEV is electric choke and the DFAV is a water choke. This is what I've done. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/658846/5

I'd have to dig through a mountain of reciepts to find it. But just search the web for weber carbs, there's tons of folks that have set-ups you can get.
Im sure I got better mileage from the start. I got the van and it ran like crap. Never really drove it much due to such out of whack tuning in ALL areas. Once dailed in still had problems, found a 2bbl manifold and got the carb figured out with linkage and all. BOOM, ran like a top but had to do some jetting to where I was happy.
Since then went with 2 1/4" exhaust with turbo muffler and has good street power and for driving a house shape van, I would have to say I get good mileage for a unmodified stock tired engine.
