      save it!!!! resurect that Festy! you could always swap the EFI system over to your chassis if you can't put that 90 back on the road.... (not as bad as you think, especially if you're doing an interior swap)

                  Do a search on "Weber adapter".

                    Mine did exactly the same thing before I Weberized it.

                    Ditch the old carb. Do not rebuild it. It's not worth even one cent.
                    Put on a non-computer controlled Escort carb.

                    Someone help me. Is this a good one?
                    How hard is it to do the swap. I'm having the same problem and I did have the carburetor rebuilt but I had a buddy that is a mechanic he did it for free but I'm still having the same problem so I would like to know where to go from here as well should I buy the escort carb or figure out if there's another problem

                        Justin, the Weber carb requires 12 volts to operate the choke, the wire from the alt for the feedback choke is only 7 volts.
                        When you install the weber, use one of the old sensor wires, that is "key on" 12 volts, and use that for the choke.

                        You need only that and one vacuum hose for the disty, which you run from the carb vacuum port and you can tee to both vacuum ports on the disty.

                          What old sensor wire would i use? The same plug though from the alt to the carb. Do i just leave tht unplugged?
