Rocketman Carb Adapter

[txranger14]

ok thank you sir.

^This adapter is for the Weber 32/26, and the Escort carb is not the same pattern.

[txranger14]

interested in this for my 89 carbd. thinking of getting either a reman escort carb or a new weber 32/36. im assuming this adapter is for the latter?

Is a wide band O2 the oxygen sensor? or an O2 ratio tailpipe sniffer?
The oxygen sensor and the computer are both unecessary and can be removed if you switch to a non-feedback carb.
You can leave it there for an emissions check or just put a drain plug in its place.

Wideband is a type of oxygen sensor system that tells the exact AFR in realtime which is useful for tuning purposes.

Bought an adapter not too long ago from Matt, and it's a beaut. Perfectly finished with clear instructions. The only other things you need to get it swapped is a sheet of decent gasket material a warm weekend under a shady tree

Glad to hear you are happy with it. Thanks!

I got an old "color tuner" that i used on my old harley that pretty much works with the same principle, looking at fuel mixture. but can be a PITA trying to look at it, it basically replaces a plug with a see thru plug run the motor and dial in the mixture till you get a nice blue flame.

anybody got any more info on the jet setup on the weber?

I did a little checking around and discovered that turner shops and even a few better equipped garages have wide band O2's that your might rent or borrow. The local tuner got a real chuckle out of someone hopping up a Festiva but was willing to help.

Guys as you can tell i have lurked here for a very long time, I am trying to get my 88 1.3 back on the road, and i find this setup very interesting, would love to get rid of all the vacuum tubes and such. My question is what was the final setup on the weber carbs? .100 on both pri. / sec. jets? and what was the final on the air correcter jets? .160-.170?
I am trying to do this on a budget, the wide band o2 setup sounds nice and would be fun to tinker with, but not in my budget right now, i am looking to get this back on the road , get rid of the vacuum / epa stuff and hopefully decent MPG . Any info on your final setup would be greatly appreciated

[Rocketman]

Yes I do! Shoot me a PM

[hugginsvilleH&A]

Rocketman do you have any adapters left? I got an 88 i am trying to get back on the road

What kind of MPG you getting with this setup? Has anyone checked?

3 tanks have netted me 35.7, 34 (driven HARD hahaha), and with leaned out A/F screw, 38 on last tank (still driven very hard on 180mi-roundtrip to Indianapolis on a Friday at rush-hour, some of the time spent doing 76-80).

Tune it right and it does pretty decent.

Plus, the feel with a Weber vs stock... you just can't compare it. Feels like a car with much more ponies.

Hmmm... Wondering if I can get one of these to work on the 2200 swap I'm doing to my 86 B2000 hmmmmmm
