    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.

    Thanks for the clarification.

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

    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.

    Are you still selling the adapters? And, How can i order one?
