tdangelo Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 For any of you who are looking for Webers consider looking into the Holley/Weber that was used on the Carbuerated Pintos with the 2300 engines. They are actually a copy of a Weber DGEV 32/36. I have used them in the past. They function as a Weber should and are inexpensive to find in the salvage yards. Just a thought.

JonOfScio Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 otherwise known as a "weber made by holley", it *would* be called a 32/36 DGAV. (the one I got from a ford ranger 2.3L) it was jetted correctly. (for our little subies!) For a second I thought you were talking about a holley two barrel, the Holley 2300, on some fords. I was like "Hey! two barrel! yeah!! That's what I'm doing!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'm considering this swap as well. The carb is either a Holley 5200, or a weber 32/36 DFAV - depending on who made it. The choke is on the other side - so it has the added benifit of not being close to the disty on the EA81. It uses the same adaptor plate, and the weber square filter is availible in both heights for about $15 online. If you get one from a ford, the throttle linkage is not removable, so you must either cut it off and weld on a regular one, or change out your throttle cable to one with the right end for that carb..... The carbs are internally identical in design - in fact the rebuild kit from weber is the same part number - the 5200 is just turned around a bit, and has a different air cleaner opening.... Apparently the 2.3L ford engines also use the exact same jets as the 32/36 kit for a soob...... not sure about the 1.6, 1.7, and 2.0 engines....

CamoMan Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 would one of these work on an ea71? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Yes - EA71 uses the same Weber kit as the EA81, so it should work the same. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamoMan Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 while i got ya here where would i get one of those adapter plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 There's numerous places that sell them online - or any place that sells Redline equipment can order one. Just do some searches on google. Should be between $35 and $40 or so. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 will it fit ea82 with ps, carb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 My guess on the EA82 is yes - but without actually trying it, I don't know for sure. You may have to turn it around backwards - or use the PS from an XT4.... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOfScio Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 in theory, it should... The idea of the DGEV series having to be turned because of the choke, makes it seem like the DF(EV/AV) wouldn't need to be turned because they *have* the choke on the other side.

WRX1AB Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I had a 2300 mustang3 turbo first generation (not svo). turbo sucked through the carb, was jetted way too lean form factory. that carb is really easy to rebuild and has very few moving parts. Also, whilst at a pull it your self yard, yank the jets out of a bunch of different fordsds, (trucks, pintos, mustangs, capris) and you have an instant jet kit for tuning. the kit we swiped made overboost possible and for a few miles, we were killing 302's and svo's. and we were OK with that.
