Setting up Twin 40 Webers on My Pinto 2L

Fev · 08-12-2009, 10:12 AM

Ok guys thinking caps on. What do i need to get this on my Escort.

Now i know i need a manifold (anyone got one to sell?) but how much hosing do you think? what about the throttle etc etc?

Ok you have said manifold - check
Throttle linkage - I use a std 2ltr one with a bracket welded onto the rocker cover
vacuum setup - depending on cam can be a bit of an issue (lack of vaccum)- some tap points to all 4 cylinders...
Battery location - can get very tight depending on size of battery _ relocate to boot?
Fuel pump - a standard pump might keep up????? most run electric

thats just of the top of my head

looking at the picks - looks as though you will need all the linkages to join them together as well, I am not sure of the throttle linkage in the pic - is a webber twin cable setup?
T fitting for the fuel lines
still thinking

Í'd say it's a twin throttle set up - The webers are on the wrong side of each other - swap them around and look at them lol.

There is one linkage thing on the Weber on the right in the picture.

My battery is already in a bucket in the boot (not joking, its half a bucket bolted to the boot floor lol) so thats no matter. Fuel pump shouldn't be hard i guess. I think there is one floating around the office actually lol

I'm gonna go over to http://www.carburettorservice.com.au/ at lunch time and have a chat - i lost a small jet thingo out of my 32/36 so i'm just thinking stuff it. I'm half done, i'll get them to do the rest lol.
