Re: 38 dgas/dgms carburetor issue

I don't understand it either.
I only realised when I rejetted my DGMS.
Are the jets definitely size 45 because when I took the jets out of my new
carb the idles were 50s and mains were 135s?
The carb was supposed to have 142 mains and 45 idles.

Re: 38 dgas/dgms carburetor issue

Might be worth trying some 50 or 55 idle jets.
One of the DGMS idle jets is different to the DGAS.

Re: Essex V6 carb jetting

Fair comment.
I will have to start saving again for a rolling road session
and maybe a carb upgrade.
I goes pretty well as it is mind,very pleased with the V63 cam.
It's not peaky and gives loads of midrange.

Essex V6 carb jetting

I'm new to this forum and don't even own a Capri[at the moment]so I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions. I have owned a few Capris in the past[3.0 and 2.8i] but they are getting a bit pricey so I bought a 1970 Scimitar with the Essex V6 and have just rebuilt the engine with John Wade stage...
