Rocketman Carb Adapter

[theastronaut]

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 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.

Thanks for the clarification.

Ahh ok. i have the holly/weber and i ordered the escort carb yesterday. I am just waiting for rocketman to reply to this thread so i can order the adapter.

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.

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

I have one with an Escort carb on it and I love it! Replaced my 32/36. I've had both now and IMO, the Escort carb is far superior. Might be selling this Weber soon! Rocketman makes a fine product!

The adapters are $80 USD with shipping. I believe the Escort carb is from the early 80's - maybe someone with more experience with the Escort carb can chime in. A search may turn up some more info as well

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

Is this on a Festiva ? And what year and model of Escort carb - stock jets ?

[blowby]

Sounds good, hit me up when you're ready!

I was looking for a Weber adapter for an 89 Festiva.

Yeah the ebay seller must have been off it said I was for a 1.6l engine. So 83 to 85. Sorry for the confusion.

[TominMO]

1983-85 carby Escorts were 1.6L. The other carby was the 1985-86 1.9L motor.

I got my escort carb from ebay it was nos and said 86 esort in the Listing. For only 78 something. I ran that carb on a b6 and it ran great out of the box it may need a rejet for the b3 . But I'm not sure
