Weber carbs are extremely good, but the DGV/DFV 32/36 is a carb that is extremly complex because it was designed to give performance with good emisions and economy, hence different sized thoats + a powervalve. One BIG problem is they only flow enough air for 100HP, which is what a 2L Pinto does with one. When Volvo supplied that manifold they selected a 38/38DGAS, which flows a heap more air than the 32/36, I believe it was IPD who were the clueless idiots that sold the 32/36 combos and they should be shot for it.

If I had one of those manifolds, I would adapt a 350 or 500 2bbl Holley to it, a common mod for 2L Pintos. I've done it to friends Escorts and it is a big leap forward from the 32/36DGAV. 500 Holley would beat twin SU's for power, but if you have a stock head, the SU's deliver power and economy.
