Carburetor Recommendation

Ford Cortinas in Europe got a 36 DCD. 2 bbl progressive with removable choke tubes and no choke mechanism. Had fuel enrichment like some of the sidedrafts instead. You can still get them imported but they sure aren't cheap.
Formula Ford race cars run a 32/36 on a pinto engine and get 150-160hp without modifying chokes or throttles.
38 dgas isn't even a big improvement as the chokes are similar, 26/27 on the progressive carb and 27/27 on the 38 dgas. 38's also have way thicker throttle shafts than the 32/36.
Would have been nice if they made a bigger version of the 36 dcd though that is for sure.
