I fitted a Weber carb from a two litre Cortina ( 32/36 Weber I think ?? ) on to my wifes ( Grumblebum's ) KE70 Toyota Corolla that she had years ago ( I'd fitted a bigger imported Jap 1500 CC engine as opposed to the 1300 CC original ) .
There was some improvement but not overly great , probably because the engine was stock and unmodified and strangled with it's jap pollution spec cam and other parts.
I'm sure if I'd cammed it up, and improved it's breathing in other places , it would have had a fairly dramatic improvement.
My thought's / experience,

Thanks for the comments mate ......the motor I have to fit up with the weber is a grey with 82 grind cam .bored to 3 and 3/16,decked ,balanced , blue printed , heap of porting work and large valves and running a trimatic transmission ..I been looking at these new weber manifolds on ebay with a 32/36 or 38/38 weber and thinking how much easy to tune than twins or triples and probably more tractible with progressive linkages as standard ...not real old school but should make a hot grey run and idle a lot smoother and as you say that induction roar is cool ........Fingers

Looks good Fingers, I took my car for a run the other day. It's running a bit lean on the idle jet so I have ordered a couple of bigger sizes to try out. I ended up doing a cable conversion as well...wasn't that fun trying to get it sorted. I couldn't get the cable to pull the butterflies open properly with the cable in a vertical position, messed around most of the day. Finished up using a stromberg choke cable holder on a small plate to get it working, only to find the arm on the bottom of the pedal wasn't pulling enough. Off with the arm & an extension piece welded in, bit of a bend for clearance & she's all good. Will let you know how I go with the jet sizes.

Dean,

Who did the adapter and can I ask how much?? I've got an SC14 I've been tinkering with to set it up on a grey and that adapter could be just the thing if I mount the blower on the sideplate side similar to how they mount them on red motors
