Which carb would be best for my 87 PU

I have the stock carb on my 22r and i was looking to replace it with one of those weber carbs. The weber 34 caught my attention but i would like to know which one you guys think would be the best, the 32/36, the 34 or the 38.

32/36 is the closest match to the stocker as far as power, and you may gain some fuel economy with one that's properly tuned. If your stock carb is working well now, the general consensus is that it will work better off road, as the weber doesn't like angles. I run a 32/36 that came on my truck (I have no emissions equipment, so I can't put a stock carb back on if I wanted to). I'm happy with it, wish I could run a stock style air cleaner for the warm air intake instead of the tiny K&N they come with, but I'm not spending the ridiculous amount the adapter costs.

i dont go offroad i just use this truck to get around but i would like to get more power out of my 22r and i think that the 34 and 38 would do. I'm also planning on changing the headers soon too. I would to hear from someone who has the 34 or 38 and what they think about it

for the price, a cam would be a better option.

If you're looking for more power, the 38 is the one I'd recommend, you will hurt your fuel economy though.

I don't understand how that would be possible. Where did you hear that. I'd think if that was true everyone would be running the 34.
