This sounds like the same Weber that was OEM on the German-made Ford Fiesta with 1.6 liter inline 4 -- that engine is a pretty close cousin of the likewise-Cologne-made V4 used on Saabs, so it might turn out to be a fairly good match. If drivability isn't good, you can always dink with the jets and emulsion tube, which are easy to change on Webers.
You can't expect quite as much full-throttle performance as the 32/36 since there's less total cross-sectional area... but it would still give an improvement over the original FoMoCo.
And hey, if it completely doesn't work, you're only out $50 and can probably find somebody to buy it on eBay for a Fiesta or whatever. Let us know how it comes out, okay?
