32/36 DGV Webber would be fine on a 18r-c should improve your fuel economy too. If the carby has come of the 2 liter Isuzu engine you'll be right if it has come off a 1600 then you will need to get it re-jetted. Just hop on Ebay and pick yourself up a carby adapter plate to fit the Webber and your in business.

2lt or 1.6l escort is another good source for a 32/36.

i have pacemaker headers on my 18rc, works a treat. also had the 32/36 dgv on it for a while from a 2ltr escort. be wary that i, and i have read others as well, have had troubles with the acclerator pump not being up to the task. tended to hesitate if bliped the throttle quickly.

how much of a power difference will say either genie or pacmaker headers make?, also if i had a good carby.
I read that a celica 2.0L, and 5 speed box will fit a 79 corona wagon, this true?

need to upsize the accelerator pump jet if its hesitating on quick throttle blips. I've noticed mine does it, as I have yet to rejet the carby.

yeap, well thinking of a weber, my carby nearly dead,
so a weber and genie 4-2-1's will make the car a bit better?
