generally the throat size

a 32/36 will have primary barrel of 32mm and a secodary 36mm

drla 36 have 2 barrels on each carb of 36 each

kadron 40's i'm sure you can guess..

one solex 40 or 2?

you have to match to what you require...the bigger the more power potential at the expense of torque, but it gets complicated cos you can change the innards to make em smaller - kind of...
