Mk1 Nimbus campervan 1.6 carb question

Postby Nimbus_Transit » Wed Jul 04, 2018 11:49 pm

Hi i have a mk1 nimbus campervan fitted with the 1.6 kent engine from new She cruises at 55mph on the Motorway which im quite happy with but i was wondering if its possible to fit a twin choke weber instead of the single to improve on pick up slightly Does anyone know if i would have to change the manifold or would it fit straight on from a mk2 escort etc.

You need the mainifold as well and if you find one second hand get the throttle linkage as well
