I made the conversion from the "Carb From Hell" to the 32/36 DGEV and am glad I did. Here's some tips: Trying to get the throttle cable thru the trunnion was a pain. I replaced it with a stainless 1/4" bolt and lock nuts then drilled out the bolt and the plate on the carb with a big enough hole to except the cable.

I was able to adapt the stock air cleaner to the Weber to take advantage of the exhaust heat, but it was a fairly big deal.

I had some tuning issues until I replaced the stock main jet (#60 which I believe is .6mm) to #70) and the secondary jet to #65, but it all depends on your altitude and how much emissions crap your local gas contains.

I also had some flooding issues with the stock mechanical pump. After a lot of experimenting I was able to get it running good by putting a mechanical regulator on the RETURN line to the tank and set it at 1-1/2psi.

In the process of putting on a new Clearwater head I found that the adapter plate had loosened. I took the whole unit off and used high strength threadlocker. I also found that the adapters did not line up with the gaskets and carb very well so I used a die grinder with a high speed bit and cleaned up the whole works so the fuel/air flow looks much better.

I recently blew #4 exhaust valve which resulted in cracking the exhaust manifold on the runner from #4 cylinder. I took off the exhaust shroud to monitor the patch job I did and went back to the little air filter that comes with the Weber kit. The clips that hold the Weber air filter can be made to fit better if you grind the lower clips way back. So far it's running OK without the exhaust heat (it's -2 right now) but it definitely runs better cold with the stock filter set up.

If I can help let me know.
