New issue, im lost!

wont you need some type of adapter to switch to an escort carb? for $50 I might be in on this.

They are $80 https://squareup.com/market/the-fest...t-carb-adapter

Yeah I must have left my aluminum welder and milking machine in my other pants.

Some of us just have acess to all those things at home or where we work, its worth mentioning.

That carb is a sweet deal. I have the adapter and that carb on my car and they work great. You will have to figure out how to hook that fuel cut solenoid up to the same wire that feeds you fuel cut solenoid now. Pretty easy. Since it is jetted for a 1.6 it may run rich. It took a while to get mine dialed in but it is far superior to the original in every way. You will need an air filter assembly for an old carb escort too. If you run it without a filter, take that pin out and remove the brass theaded bracket on the top of the carb because it will jiggle out and be gone if you don't. it will be obvious what I'm talking about when you look at it in person. You can put the original throttle linkage on the side of the carb where the fuel goes in. Works very well on mine.

It ain't over yet. I sold a propeller hub for an old Curtiss Wright radial aviation engine on eBay for $501 it sat at $27.50 until the auction had 5 minutes to go.

Can anyone help me with connections?

Got one on a vague dash pot like thing, but no linkage to the mechanical end, mounted right by the accelerator pump.

One at the fuel inlet, with what appears to be a solenoid below it, plus a capped rubber line off the bottom of the fuel inlet.

2 lines just above where the throttle dash pot mounts, there is also a solenoid mounted there as well.

Last, does the 12 volts for the electric choke go to the nipple on the middle of the yellow cap on the choke mechanism?

As always, thanks to the festiva hive mind.

If I get everything done, I'm going on the escape from Moscow rally down to the lemons race at Barber, in Feb.
