I had to do some searching but I found the pic that lilneedle had posted some time ago which I used as a reference for installing a progressive carb like the Weber 32/36. Opening up the CVCC intake can be done pretty easily with the intake still on the vehicle if you're careful... I stuffed 4-5 small rags tightly (don't use old socks, cut-up T-shirts are best!) in the intake ports and covered them with about a quarter inch thick layer of multipurpose grease or Vaseline to trap most of the shavings. I then proceeded to remove the portion shown in the picture with a fiberglass reinforced Dremel cutoff wheel. Just have to leave enough room around your rags in the center to get the Dremel in there and the nice part about that is that you can even harmlessly cut into the fabric a bit if necessary. The actual cutting itself is easiest if you mark it with a sharpie and make cuts along those lines and then you can cut in the middle and slice downwards at an angle toward each edge to make a few wedge shaped pieces to remove. Then you'll be able to grind your way down to where it should be a lot easier. Once you're satisfied with how it looks, make it as smooth as possible and then blow all the excess shavings out of your engine bay with an air hose. After that you can carefully pull your rags out along with most of the remaining shavings! Wash your hands and feel all around the inside of the ports to make sure your rags are all out and remove any more shavings that may have fallen in there so they don't get sucked into your engine. Slap your carb back on and it will deliver a more consistent mix to the runners and perform better than ever!
