Yes get a twin choke weber 32/36 carb with an adapter plate.

A much better option is a 28/36 DCD weber (fits on a 32/36 DGV adapter plate). If the DCD is from a MK1 GT1500 cortina, the stock jetting will get you very close. The 1500GT's have a warm 1500cc non-xflow pushrod motor standard.

 

A couple of DCD's have gone off recently on ebay for around $80 plus post. Add a rebuild kit for around $40.

 

Note that a 32/36 DGV is designed for a 2 liter motor. You can get good results on a 5k, but it will never be anywhere near as sweet as a 28/36 DCD.

there's an adaptor plate on Ebay to suit at the moment for 30 bucks.

 

look for Gem Parts australia, they always sell them.

thanks all il give it a go cheers

is there any place in the western subs nsw i can contact to purchase the webber

cheers!

Watch ebay for the 28/36 DCD's. In fact I just bought another one. :jamie: Hmm, I might just run twin DCD's on the 5k in my ke15. ;)

 

This 32ADFA would be a good choice for a worked 5k. It is the same as what Xany runs on his 5k.

as long as your motor is worked and needs a bigger carb you should be sweet,

don't over carb it though as the venturi vacuum signal will be too weak for low

and mid range.
