And it's confirmed! I just installed a set of 40mm chokes and the motor feels like a totally new machine. It was a fairly easy swap except now I know to be very careful when pulling the squirters out not to lose the O rings The set I got from Vee Dub Parts were beautifully machined pieces, a far cry from the original 37mm cast ones originally in there. They slipped right in, nice 'n shiny.
I just drove a mile home from the shop; not even far enough to warm up the oil but without touching anything else, the idle is smoother, no spitting, sneezing or coughing coming off idle, and a quick blip of the throttle and she just jumped without any hesitation or transitional hiccups. Yey! I gotta give her a workout tomorrow!

Well, glad to hear that the 40mm Venturis work well on a 302 also.
Dont know how come the word spread that the 37mm were the chokes to use for everyday driving.
Maybe for the layman in anything mechanic it is best to leave the webers as they come, but for anyone wanting to tinker around it is fun and definitely brings driving improvement. Doesn't it ?
I bet once you try larger chokes you get the real Weber feeling.
