I also have most of the parts from the Ford EFI system, plus a second fuel injection inlet manifold that will fit below the Legerra's bonnet line.

But I also have a Pinto in my Rickman and I have a couple of Essex V6's that want to get in on the action.

Strength in depth!

Comment by James Doulton on December 25, 2015 at 8:18: I bought myself an electronic distributor, which is in the post, as something to play with towards my EFI project.

Comment by Adrian Southgate on December 24, 2015 at 21:33: I've not measured them to be honest, its on the car and currently working.

I do have this though.

The bores are, despite appearances, the same size.

(sorry for the hijack Steve)

Comment by Big Vern on December 24, 2015 at 21:17: 32 DFM was mk 2 cortina gt, What size chokes does it have?

Comment by Adrian Southgate on December 24, 2015 at 17:42: As far as I remember they did 28/32, 32/36 and 38/38 so this was a new one on me. Didn't even realise it was odd until I went to fit the new spindle bushes.

I have a selection of carbs now including the DGAS, DGAV, DGV and DCV.

I was thinking of using DGAS gears on the DCV and fitting it to the 1300 but reckon it will function fine as a progressive once it's been re-jetted. I'm sure my old cortina mk5 had a 28/36 DGAV as it was pretty tame until it hit 3K rpm.and then you could really hear the second throat open as it climbed higher. Thats half the reason I want to swap to the DGAS, I very rarely need to exceed 3500 rpm even when giving chase to mr Taylor, don't think i've ever held it flat to the boards.

Comment by Adrian Southgate on December 24, 2015 at 17:30: Nope, I have a 32 DCV on the Leggy, both bores the same size and sequential not simultaneous. Probably originated on something other than a 2 litre. Compared to the DGAS the tubes are tiny.

Comment by Steve Kerswell on December 24, 2015 at 16:48: Ade you said 32/32 carb? I have a 32/36 carb, did you misprint?
