is there a website or any literature to help with the modification of a 32/36 Prog. carb for a blow-through application?

You'd have to see what CB does to seal their Dells and Webers and duplicate it for the 32/36. Most likely throtle shafts etc would need sealing.Or blow through it first and seal it later but probably not a good idea. Only do this if no one has the answer and then you'd be the first to blow through a Weber/ Holley 32/36!

Here is a thought
I read this in a holley book.
Make a ½? thick or so plate under the carb. Do some cross drilling so the pressure seen out of the turbo before the carb, is plumbed into the plate. The cross drilling will then be pointed at the area where the throttle shaft goes through the throttle body. You pull the throttle shaft out of the carb, drill a hole into the bottom of the carb at each of the throttle shaft areas so that the turbo pressure will be pumped into the throttle shaft area. This THEORETICALLY should keep a positive pressure at the shafts and should only leak air and keep the fuel in.
Just a possible cool experiment to try if you have a throw away carb.

hey all
you could also do what they used to do on some of the old supercharged cars.They would set the whole card in a sealed box just seal your throttle linkage add a tube for your fuel line and weld in a tube for the output from your turbo.

Hi, you need to get in contact with the people at Fast Freddies, they still have parts for the blow-thru systems.

Is your carb a 32/36 DGV? If it is your ok, if not you may have to purchase one.
They have all the stuff you need to make the carb function for the blow-thru, the bonnet cap, and other things.

Try them and see what they can do for you, Peter

PS: I am going to use there stuff for my project, DGV32/36, bonnet cap.
