    The Escort carb is a Weber variant, so I believe his adaptor works for both.

      • I have not had very good luck with the factory carb. I have looped vacume and plugged them in so many variations to get it to run smoother at idle and have came to a dead end. That thing is going in the trash as soon as i get this adapter.

        • The two carbs have different mounting hole dimensions. He makes both. I think I was the first to get an Escort model 'cause I had to measure the hole spacing for him.

            Rocketman is more active on the Capri forum and you might try contacting him there.

              • I have a 1988 ford festiva that I was wanting to get the adapter for but i haven't been able to find the weber adapter anywhere at all. Is there someway that i can get one or would I have to have a machine shop make one for me.

                  The Festiva Store sells both Weber 32/36 adapters and early 80's Escort carb (Weber DFTA/Holley 740) adapters. Looks like the Weber 32/36 adapter is sold out at the moment. They also sell the EGR delete plate you'll need to do the conversion.


                  The Festiva Store, all things for Festivas, Mazda 121's and Kia Prides. Some products may apply to the protege and other mazda cares as well. Fix your shifter, modify your car through new accessories, or update some parts to make your car run and drive as good as new.
