I agree. The 37mm should provide good power to 6700-6800, and good, crisp response off idle, if jetted carefully.
I suggest for your engine:
60F10 idle fuel
110 size idle air/jet holder (you'll have to make these from a 060 or solder up a 120)
150 main
F2 emulsion tube
175 air corrector
be certain float travel/height is set as per Weber specs (you can find them in the Haynes manual or factory Weber book) before anything. A lot of guys chase their tails with jets when float height is the real problem. If your floats have the tab (aside from tab that contacts needle valve) cut it off. It will limit downtravel and keep needle valve from filling bowl.

Bump idle to 60 first, then run car around and see how it comes off idle. Your best idle should occur with mixture screw about 3/4 turn from seated.
