Chud Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Do i leave the 28/36 Weber carb on the GT (as it's running SWEET at the mo) or get the twin 40's fitted before the MK 1 Cortina National Rally & drive all the way to Stratford with them on Wondering about how much the juice is gonna cost me getting there & back too
lead foot Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 no contest !!!! put the 40s on and enjoy that sound !! sod the petrol !!
glenbo Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 just put 40's on my escort wouldnt change a thing they sound great
slappy Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Hello chud stick with the gt carb unless you have lots of spare time, I have just ended up taking my built engine out as it ran so bad on the 40's without a rolling road setup forget it if they are not quite wright lots of grief, leave it until you have lots of time.
Vista Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Get the 40's on there, a RR set up isn't that expensive and the fuel economy only suffers massively if you hammer it everywhere.
slappy Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 if you are still using the pre cross you will need elec fuel pump fuel regulator pipe from boot inlets for pre cross allen key bolts for manifolds ( you can't get bolts in ) modified throttle pedal to fit cable, but it does sound the nads not to put you off.
ratman Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 no contest !!!! put the 40s on and enjoy that sound !! sod the petrol !! Yes fit the 40's defo and as for the petrol I'm using the 48's she's a thirsty gal
Stu_B Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I have a pre crossflow on 40's & it is the best sounding thing ever!!
Chud Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 Righto people i'll make a beeline to get the 40's fitted me thinks
mk2_escort_chick Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Normally I'd say fit bigger and better...but if its runnning sweet now-just enjoy it as it is
