This sounds like the old non-emissions carb days.
At one point I was going to swap my stock Aisin 2bbl carb in my '75 Corolla
for a pair of Weber 36-DCDs. The project kinda stalled after I discovered
that for any sort of real horsepower increase I would need to change the
intake manifold, camshaft, exhaust manifold and downstream exhaust system
to take advantage of the awesome power of those iconic Webers.
Well, instead of the RIGHT thing, I ended up doing what you would expect
any slightly impoverished 19-year-old to do...

Ahhhhhh... The prowess of youth!
Did exactly that on a '54 Mercury that had an engine with poor
compression and a six volt system was just not enough to get it started
in Winter. Had the family mechanic overhaul it (rings, bearings and
valve job) and what a difference! Only thing is that that era of F*rds
had a design flaw in the distributor where the ground wire sever.
Damned thing failed twice on cold nights where I had to walk home...
