I installed my Weber 28/36 DCD directly onto the car's original manifold with no modifications. I suspect from the following that I should have enlarged the manifold flange ports 15 years ago when I instlled the carb?

What is the purpose of flange port enlargement? Should the manifold flange port be identical in size to the carburetor barrel port? Is it critical that the flange be perfectly round etc?
