Guest spacie_escort Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Its the standard 1300HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 1300HC, u mean 1300xflow, right? i heard of a 1600 OHC in cortinas but never 1300 OHC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W8NSEE Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 she will be meaning the high compression crossflow. You used to bebale i think to get a 1300OHC but they are very very rare, correct me if im wrong tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 yea HC = high comp. and you can get a 1300 pinto, they put them in sierras over in the uk. dunno if any got here tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 spacie - a few of us here were discussing throttle cable brackets awhile back and we had to make our own because the 1300/1600 ones either didnt line up with the carb properly, or didnt bolt onto the new manifold in the correct place. So try a wrecker and if their ones dont fit, you might have to make your own or modify an existing one. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WESTCORT Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 should be easy enough to make your own, ive got a 1600 sport manifold and im looking for a bigger carb to suit it to chuck on my 1300hc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidian Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 yeah.. HC... thats been resolved already. thaaaanx but on the bracket thing, its a funny one I had to make my own as well, it wasnt bolting in the right place so i made up a plate which it bolts onto and then that plate bolts onto the manifold.. colour coded with the car and engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerm Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 no you should be able to use any throttle linkage off an escort with a weber carb.... eg a ghia.. which is pretty easy to come buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
