    Mk2 Escort 1300 & 1600 Sport/Ghia carbs

    Can anyone tell me what size of chokes are fitted to a twin choke Weber fitted to a 1300 & 1600 Sport/Ghia ?

    The numbers are cast into the side of the carb body.

    I think the 1300 is 23 & 24 and the 1600 is 26 & 27.

    Can anyone help ?

    Cheers,
    David

    All 32DGAV Weber carbs have 23/24mm chokes.
    Only the 32/36DGAV carb has 26/27mm. (Mexico)

    So....

    What you are saying is that both 1300 & 1600 Sports had 23/24 chokes ?

    Hi you all, a little help. In my country MK II were assembled, (CKD from Germany), and the carbs were 32 DGAV. They were assembled by Ford of Uruguay only 1600 SP, mainly 2 doors, a few 4 doors, from 1976 up to 1980.

    Regards,

    Eduardo
