32/36 weber, 1600 xflow
Is there any performance gain when using the GT weber & manifold on a standard (non-GT) 1600 xflow? In conjunction with 4/2/1 extractors
thanks

My 1600 has a 32/36 xf falcon down draft webber and that seems to go pretty good. I have twin 40s dellortos to put on but the bloody brake booster is in the way.

so you noticed a gain when going from the single choke to twin ay.
I don't think a pair of twin choke dellortos will give much on a standard engine. probably worse than the 32/36

It was a long time ago that i put the weber on but yeah i think there was a slight increase in power especially when the second butterfly opens up at full throttle. You are probably right about the twins but a thought it would be worth a try putting em on as i had them lieing around. I could always go back to the 32/36.

Well that does make things easy  I have a single 40mm weber on a side draft manifold (clears the booster) that I want to put on. I'm starting to think it'll be okay on the standard 1600.

Hi m8, definitely a 32/36 & manifold is very good choice. If you recall, MK1 Mexicos used exactly that carb and manifold. [^] Regards, Eduardo

yes there is, but use a big air clear you need that increase in air flow,

Not sure of Aussie rules...but booster not a prob for side drafts, just lower it, seems complicated but quite easy to do.

The mexicos also had a different cam & larger exhaust valves too didn't they? I know the 32/36 can yield good results, just wasn't sure if it worked well on the standard 1600.

I've owned 5 different Kent powered Escorts and its the first change I've made to all of them. The carb change alone (I've run both 32/32 and 32/36) changes the car from sounding and performing like an asthmatic vacuum cleaner into something a bit more reasonable. Not a big power increase but there is a noticeable difference. Good luck

I used a carby off a 2.3 v6 Cologne(i thinks) , its a 34/34dgas the same as the 38dgas/40dfav where both barrels open together worked well on 1600's and 2000cc stockers....prolly hard to find now though[B)]

Yes Ratta tat tat, MK1 UK Mexicos had the same engine than MK2 UK 1600 sport. In my country we have only MK2s Sport, (either from UK or Germany), and they werre fittted with 32/32 carbs, so we change for 32/36 for better results. I don't really know how were this cars in Australia, but anyway, I think 32/36 is not a bad choice. You always can play with jetting.Cheers, Eduardo.
