The worse thing I ever done was remove the twins webers! Holleys suck! A good tune would have wise by a machanic but easyer just to put a weber back on. Wouldn't idle properly, flats spot, hard to start when cold..



Ahh thats not good news. I plan to run one soon in favour of twins because I can get a Holley under the stock air cleaner.

I didn't take it to get tuned. I just tryed swapping jets,power valves etc
If i took it to someone it would have been fine. It was just easyer to throw on a weber instead.. Most local auto shops have bits for them which was very helpful. Not like trying get delorto parts![:u]

well I couldnt be sure why it changed on you.. But your essentially missing the closing [/img] tag from the end of each picture address.

If you want to tidy them up and get them working.. all you need is the actuall address bit.

During rebuild..


After Respray

2 years later after rebuild.. Finished after a lot of work! Had it on the road for one month and a p-plate reversed into me smashing my front guard in [V]


I wanted to keep my boot space so i put a drop tank in and put the battery box in a spot out of the way.


- Fully recoed 2ltr
- piper cam,camtec rockers,D/vizard oversize valves,vizard profile Ramp port,veinier cam wheel,twin 48 delortos with ram tubes.
- Fully balanced bottom end,lightened flywheel
- celica 5 spd,one piece drve shaft with Holden uni's,XE LSD falcon diff with R31 skyline disc's
- K-mac sway bars fnt and rear,Tec-rack Quick rack.

Tryed this set-up out but ended up taking it off. Something would have to break with the stock bottom end [:p]. wanna make a injected setup- Its a 13B rotary turbo with custom manifold's


After been locked up in the oldies shed for 8 years got it on the road again. Now a daily driver..

This esky looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pics. I spent some time talking Escorts with Jason when I bought some Pinto bits off him,and he sems pretty switched on.
