Yeah lots of them aye. Just look on trademe, they are cheap as chips

anyway:

I tested the fuel pump, and thats fine. Changed the coil and it's still jumping around.

I tried to check the 32/36 jets, but I wasnt' too sure what I was looking for; I unscrewed all the little gold bits and checked for blockages, they were sweet.

Just gotta change the fuel filter now, and see if that's the problem.

Otherwise I guess it's off to the mechanic.

NSA is gonna have a look at it this afternoon. If they can tell me what is wrong, I might be able to fix it, as they prolly wont have time today.

Otherwise I'll take it to that race-tuning mate of my dads. He'll be able to sort it out (and chuck the bill to dad on the d-low :))

Well I did when I was checking it, and test driving it. But I put it back on to take to the mechanic. And woop-de-doo, its burnt on the inside.

I have just taken it to the mechanics, they are gonna have a look at let me know what is wrong. Hopefully I can fix it myself.

What did the 32/36 carb come on? Heaps of older fords right? I want one.

they were fitted to 2L Escorts and Cortinas

in OZ land Holley G180 is a licensed version of the 32/36 weber

in US the carb is called Holley 5200, and you can find these carbs in 1970 - 1980 Pinto and Mustang; 1979 - 82 Fairmont, Granada, Courier 2ltr, chrysler 1.6, 1.7 and 2.2 engines. Capri, Chevette, Astre, Sunbird and Chev Vega. I dont know what else...

DGEV - Electric choke

DGAV - Automatic choke, water heated

DGV - manual choke

I've done the 32/36 DGV to a datsun A12

32/36 DGAV and converted that to DGEV for my mazda 1300

it was quite easy swap, just make sure you check the carby 1st to save you from rebuilding it later.

hope this helps...

cheers
