ok i'm not sure this is the right place for this, but here goes anyway. i was looking at the weber carbs and noticed that they have three different kinds of chokes-- mechanical, electric, and water-something (cant remember). just wondering, what do these three mean? thanks!

Mechanical is just like it sounds. You have a push/pull button inside the car. Which you close after shutting off car. Then when you start it and it warms up you open up the choke. An Electrical does the same thing except it has power and as the spring that holds choke closed warms it "relaxes" allowing choke to open. A water chokes works in the same manner except it actually uses water lines from your radiator and as the water warms up again, if I read correctly a spring relaxes allowing choke to open. I dont think a water choke would be a good choice for a Festiva especially in winter.

A Weber 32/32 with an electric choke is what was recommended from Roger at FMS for a B3. The 32/36 may be a little too much carb for your car.

meaning it would run too rich? i'm not about to buy one or anything, i'd have to work out an adapter before that, my car is a dd. i've got a '80 ford courier with a great running carb, and i was thinking about trying to adapt that to my '88s intake. might be a little bit of overkill as the courier is a 2.0 (i think), but at least it would make the 88 run better (it runs like crap now).89 L, hopefully returning from the dead soon with a little more power... :twisted:
