The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi all,

Trying to find the best/right way to sort out my cooling hoses on the cars and was wondering if some one had pictures of a standard engine bay with a 32/36 carb and manual choke? I currently have a mess of connections on the laser and am trying to get a proper kit sorted to solve the problem!

There are plenty of pictures of Nick's engine bay splattered across the internet and that has an auto-choke so will use that as a reference for the GL!

Thanks
Danny

Here’s a old picture of mine dan if it helps .

Hi Dan

The only two hoses that you will have to change/get are the hose from the heater matrix up to where the auto-choke would be and then the one from the auto choke down to the inlet manifold. You will have to use a joiner piece between these two hoses which will sit behind the carb. I doubt anyone makes a single piece hose as the Capris were designed to have the two hoses.

If you would like I will take a picture of my 2.0S engine and post it for you to see.

Jason, while your stuck at home playing with pinto the sheep you could be cleaning that!

Cheers Jason, is that a manual choke on yours? If so can you please take the air box off and show me where your join is??

Thanks Paul, I did think this would be the case, I got a Samco hose set a while back but think I got an auto choke set rather than manual choke - just trying to figure out what set I should be buying to make sure I get it right basically! I have a joining section at the moment from the pipe from the heater matrix pipe that reaches to around the corner of the carb manifold and there's a join there that takes it around to the back of the carb manifold, just wanted to check that was correct really!

If your 2.0S is easy for you to get to I'd appreciate you taking a picture but if it's not sat on the drive don't worry.

Thanks

Dan no mate it’s auto choke on mine . Nick has a manual choke now with them 45s .

Andy yes it’s going to long now .

Dan, all you need to do it link the 2 existing pipe that come from the bulkhead to the auto choke then from the choke to the manifold . i don't believe that they make a pipe for this in one section

Thanks, I did think so, mine are just bent and twisted all over the place so wanted a rough idea of what a normal one is meant to look like!

Cheers
