[aden]

anyone know what the castle shaped thingy under the jet inspection cover is for on dcoe 40s? trying to get the escort running and its sick as a pig, it doesnt look like these covers are sealing properly with these things in the way? just about idles but wont rev and just spits and stalls

Do u have a hole in the carbs by the left venturi?. Sounds like u might have the

Hillman type 40s, bit more agg to setup. Ask grumpy in his room he'll know

ive seen plenty of sets of these hillman/holbay etc carbs on the bay on xflow and pinto manifolds, to be fair i think some people just dont know the difference. they do work to a fashion but not well, Escpecially at high revs. they take alot of faffing about to get to run and they are never perfect and will never return the performance of a "normal" set of tooters,due to the way they vent, the castelled spacer replaces the normal vent hole by the left venturi

 

This is my albeit limited understanding of them...

 

Just had a quick look at ur resto, and the one blurry photo showing the tooters they do look like Hillman/Holbay ones on a brighter note your car looks fantastic, credit to you
