I gave one to mitch. He is on here but doesnt log on that often you could message him and see if he is going to use it.
Not sure what kind of carb it was actually for but could likely be adapted def wasnt a stock inlet got it off gordo...

If I remember what I was told, it was for the Weber 28/36 (or vaRIATION) THAT WAS MODIFIED TO TAKE SOME jAPANESE CARB.
Feck cap's lock!

I think the 32dgav was fitted to the 3 litre Capri - it's got two throats, the same size, that open together?
The Escort used a progressive with different throttle sizes - like a 28/36.

Sorry, however just remembered Billdog had twin 1 1/4" Strombergs on his old car - I don't know if he kept them or sold them with the car.

Have a look at my earliest posts, I put up some info on modifications I did to a Chevette a while back.


AH!!!!! Just the thing!

It looks mint - needs the head ports opened out and matched, as per my early posts. You'll also need a different carby...
