So I got word through a friend that his mate had a cheap AE71 for sale....

 

So i told my mate who was looking to buy a car, went and had a look at it and brought her for cheap but had a few problems to fix up, Since it had problems it became more of a 'joint project' on weekends to fix, so this is our build.

 

first drop, the survo to top up the radiator (had a leaky water pump gasket....) filled up 8 liters of water and headed to maccers.

UPDATE: 6/12/09

 

So the 4A is abit low on power and it seems our carby is abit dodgy, So we are going to rigg up a 32/36 webber and see how that goes. we got the Webber today from a tiptop XF Ford. carby looks in perfect condition.

 

I have 2 Questions, How do you wire the Webber up?

and what vacume lines go where? *sobs* looks like its going to be a ruff week! if anybody can help please let me know :)

Carbs gonna be wayyyy to big for what you want. Look more towards the 32/36's from the 1.6/2.0 escorts/cortina's.

 

Carb is jetted for a 4.0L and your gonna run it on a 1.6L. you do the maths :)

Hey dude, alot of the guys run this weber on the 4AC and 4K, So it wont be too much of a problem I don't think :)

 

Raceline... or redline.. or some brand that you can get at most auto shops sell the adapter plate so it seems to be quite popular

 

EDIT: Now that i read what you said, Yeah okay I see we got the wrong carby, but, neather the less A good mate on mine who is on here (Mellow) he runs this carby and his ride was sweeeeet as So i hope we don't encounter many problems

 

I'm from woodcroft too snap! (from around woolies..)how about you? I keep spotting this heaps nice *E7* thats yellow.. not you by any chance?

I'm up around where the old vine caravan park was. Nah, i don't drive a *E7*. I'm more pre *E7* personally.

 

From what i remember David wasnt having much luck with that weber of his. Anyways, run the falcon one and see how you go. But my opinion would be to go for the 1.6/2.0 variant of this carb :)

 

CHEERS

Ryan

David had problems because he didnt wire it in proper. haha.

 

Yeah thanks dude! We'll see how we go.

DONE! Finished the Weber mod needs the idle to be set but it runs alot better then before and heaps more grunty!

prepare to chew through fuel and go no where

Haha, kinda makes sense. When i seen it the massive falcon air filter was held on by duct tape :y: But he was in a rush for the cruise.

Haha, You'd be surprised. but saying that our 2nd butterfly was not opening on the stock carby.

hahahaha I think I remember that, Atm we don't have it wired up and it seems to be going just fine, cold starts and everything.

 

Going to try and better tune it this weekend
