Picked up an 88 D50 with the 2.6L. Was wondering what size carb will work the best. it will be a DD for work. So would like good MPG, but, would like to get the extra ponies a bigger carb could get me. So looking for a good middle man carb.

(This Is a quote from another guy!)
The 38 is better on the low end hands down, and also on the mid to high end. Keep in mind the 32/36 was built for replacement of the stock mikuni. The 38 was never designed just to bolt right on a stock engine and perform to your wildest dreams. It was designed to accomodate an engine build to include:

1. Port and polished head
2. Hotter CAM
3. Flat Top Pistons on a .30/.40 bore
4. Headers + performance exhaust

etc etc etc.....This is where that 38 at 426 CFM will rock at low/mid and high end. Your torque at low end with the above mentioned motor work will be 100% better than stock. The 32/36 has better fuel economy. The 38 does not have good economy as it was designed for power. The 38 does not get the same MPG's as a stock mikuni. On my 2.6 I am looking at 12-15 MPG. The stock mikuni got me 22.

Did some reading, I think I am going to get the 34/34. It still has the progressive linkage as the 32/36 but weber claims the 34/34 to have a better drive-ability, while the 32/36 is better economy and was made as a direct replacement for the stock carb. Thanks for the info. I will also throw on a header and an electric fan some E3 spark plugs and should get a little more power and fuel economy with freeing of some restrictions on the motor.

Where is a good place to pick up aftermarket engine parts for these things?
