there is a 32/36 webber. can get this off ebay.
personaly, there is no point unless you do and exhaust as well. you letting your motor breath in but not out.

no worries.
just remember that no carby is ever just bolt on. some are just easier than others.

once its sort of stable give the plug test a go.

not written but me
"let it idle 10-15 minutes, stop engine and pull plugs. Black/soot indicates a rich mixture<br>white or light gray indicates a lean mixture ,tan or light brown is good,If you want to tune WOT, then find a big hill. Drive to said hill. At the bottom, stop the engine. Replace the plugs with new ones. Start the car and go up the hill. Find the right gear so that the engine stays arount 5000 RPM at WOT. When you run out of hill, KILL engine and coast to a stop. Do not let the engine run off WOT. Kill it as soon as you let the pedal off the floor(gas off/clutch in/key off all in the same time). Stop the car and check the plugs. "
