Title: Linking both chokes? Post by: droptop on October 06, 2011, 07:38:00 AM Can both chokes on a 34 DATR carb be linked to operate together?
I have a vague memory of this being done on a MK2 Escort many years ago to produce a cheap performance upgrade, or am I just more confused than usual? Basically, I am looking for a "free" performance upgrade as I can't afford a twin set-up at the moment. Have a laugh, then tell me I'm dreaming, and all will be as before and no harm done!

THey are made that way and this has been done a few times by Fiat Twin Cam owners.

Thanks very much. Title: Re: Linking both chokes? Post by: rossocorsa on October 08, 2011, 12:17:08 PM will the floats be the right way round would have thought you'd need a carb made for transverse engine?
Title: Re: Linking both chokes? Post by: droptop on October 08, 2011, 02:45:27 PM The manifold is oriented so the carb sits longditudinally in the Beta so an under-bonnet comparison will be necessary, but since the Ford item is a twin rather than a progressive choke set-up, I suppose it is possible it sits the right way.
There would be no bargain if you have to fabricate a flange or have the manifold modified. |
