    Panko's Mk1 Escort (Round 2)

    yeah i have 140 primary and 150 secondary in the same carby on a mild 2 litre in the gemini. so i suspect they'd be way rich.. not as rich as a jet removed though..

    Panko's Mk1 Escort (Round 2)

    So I bit the bullet and decided to replace the carby at last with a brand new 32/36 DGV. interesting to see the clean and dirty sides of the intake all installed, using stock full length cable, with some special engineering on the big washers on either side of the throttle bracket. stock rocker cover back on. because this a factory manual choke carby, it works 10000000000000 x better than my converted manual choke carby, that used to be auto choke. I got it running and driving, but couldnt use full throttle. would completely bog down and just die under load. So tonight, i pulled the top off carby to see why.... and this is what i found. yep, brand new weber, which i picked up myself from weber performance, and this is what i find. secondary main jet out, primary main jet was lose, just sitting in. put them back, and got the car going and driving way way better, but still not 100%. im guessing its over jetted for the 1300. this is the jetting comparison. should make sense hopefully. the Renault Carby is what ive been running.

    Help mechanical fuel pump

    I once had a mechanical pump shit itself on a Sunday arvo, had to call a mate to come rescue me. I had a Goss mechanical on my 302, the built-in barbs seemed to cause the body to bend really easily when tightening up the hose clamps. It just seemed cheap and tinny. Never failed, but I deleted it anyway and put in a Facet chunka-chunka pump just out of the tank. I like it because it gives a definite warning when fuel is getting low (by going chunka-chunka a lot louder than normal) Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk

    Factory AU VCR?

    Dave will most likely be able to answer this one the quickest but I’ll ask as general anyway , Does anyone know of a factory option in the AUs for a VCR in the boot along with a DVD player with an entertainment screen in the cabin, apparently fitted with games as well? I have picked up a system out of a AU Fairmont that has the factory GPS set up, but it came with all of the above as well. Now before we all jump the guns, it ALL has Ford badging on it, and not just some Ebay stickers. I have all the wiring that goes with it. All I wanted was the GPS set up but it all came together. For the life of me, I have never heard of anything like it, excluding limos obviously, that may have had all those options but this was in a AU Fairmont sedan. I forgot to get photos before I left last week but I’ll post some next week when I get home, but someone might know in the meantime what the go is. The plan is if I get time during the Christmas break I’ll be installing it into the Silver Elephant.

    Panko's Mk1 Escort (Round 2)

    yeah, i should add i also had to put the choke back together. the first time i pulled the choke lever the choke setup sprung apart. the retaining pin dissappeared lol. so ill be emailing weber australia with pics and just giving them a heads up. yes you're correct. so yes its a big jump. Im hoping i can get away with dropping the main jet size down to the 125s, and the rest of the jets and sizes are close enough for the car to run happier. at the end of the day, the other jets are pretty close to what ive been running.
