32/34 carb (whats needed)

[bigbened]

Right im after a little more power out of my 1.2 carb until i get my new ingine in, so im after putting a 32/34 carb on it.

I know ill need the inlet from a 1.3, but are the carbs all the same and where can you buy the adaptar plates from.

Will i need it jetted also, anything else cheers

When you buy the carb ask them what cars is come from! If its off a nova all inletsneed a adaptar plate so ask if you can but that aswell!

Timmy had his set up and managed 65bhp.

It will need jetting if its not setup for a 1200.

Originally 32/34s come off i think a old Land Rover,Lol.

[Timmy]

i got one off here with an inlet alrerady attaches you need a 1.3sr inlet and a base plate webber make 32/34 carb for ford festes. i had a 105 and a 120 jetts fittes if i remeber and set up cost me ?80 runs a lot better picks up nicely drink a bit more petrol but im not just sure if that my hevry foot LOL mine carb is a 3234DTML webber mine was set up for something i lot bigger so rank like hell untill i got it set up . pm me if you need anymore info

If you didnt know Timmy has 65bhp from his 1.2 with his Weber.

65bhp is good for a 1.2.

How much horsepower again Timmy?lol

[bigbened]

am i right in thinking that the return petrol pipe needs to be blocked up. Also will t40s be a better option because i have seen some cheap ones on ebay and some manifolds for 1.3s and i could transfer the carbs to my next engine, or are they a bit too over fueling etc for a 1.2

[Timmy]

no they should go on fine pm stuart i think he's got a t40 1.2 on the go, once jettes they should be ok if the carbs are cheap pick them up for a furter project

[bigbened]

i think thats what i will do then, my mates have now talked me into it as i didnt know how cheap they were. what figures could i see out of it just with the carbs. And is it a good idea to upgrade anything or is it just a good old service job:D

oh and am i right in thinking that the ports are square

[Adam]

Ports are cathedral(kind of square with rounded ends)

T40s will be fine on a 1200, if jetted and choked right.
I'd seriously consider a 32/34 tho, easier to setup, should give better mpg, wont cost on insurance and T40s dont give much gain on there own.
And a 32/34 is much cheaper.

[bigbened]

ok mate but where can you buy the adaptar plates from
