Ayup!

Weber 32/36 DGEV and adapter to fit a BBD base. There's a jeep kit that
drops right onto the 81-up manifold.

Said manifold (int and exh) plus the 32/36 DGEV is  substantial performance
upgrade that's not *too* invasive. It more or less bolts on, depending on
what you have now. I've stuck them on an 83 block (70 HOrnet) and a 70 232
block (63 classic). On the latter, the throttle linkage was more work than
anything else.

32mm primary bore (about 1-1/8") with mechanical progressive linkage, opens
the 36mm (1-1/4?") secondary. Very nice. Best carb I ever owned after YFs
which I find easy to maintain (except the damned base to body screws always
loosen themselves) and other such ancient no-performance pots.

I had to go through the whole jetting thing though to get it right, but it
was straightforward and totally worth the bother. You can change jets with
the carb on the car; just pop the top off (6, 8 screws) with gas still in
the bowls.
