Has anyone rebuilt these carbs yet? Two different kits are listed for these carbs at my FLAPS. Langdon’s provided materials say that the carbs originally were off of a 1983 Ford Escort are referred to as a Motorcraft or Weber 32 DFT. At $390 a piece for a rebuilt carb, I’ll be wanting to do it myself.
Langdon is apparently not around anymore, so I cannot ask him. He was quite helpful back in the day….
Looking for the right rebuild kit to order.
Any info is appreciated! Thank you.

There are two versions of the carbs- the US and the California version. He said that the carbs in his conversion are the non-California carbs. I’ll probably just be ordering gaskets.
