You've got me thinking now.
I plan on building a 1.3 ohv running a 1.3 mk1 dft.
But it looks like I might have to do some research on the dcd carb.
Either that.
Or I bite the bullet and fit injection *spit*...
Or.. Go whole hog, turn to the dark side, and throw an eco boost in it.
( which is a possibility )

The DCD is an old carb now and I believe was fitted to the mk1 Cortina GT, all the ones I've had in the past (well over 20 years ago) have all been secondhand and worked fine, can't say how they all may work now as it seems it will be a case of getting one from Ebay, a few of the Weber suppliers still do a few bits for them but like most Webers, there's not much to go wrong with them, I'm sure if spindles have worn they can be sorted out by a specialist, an interesting development by Webcon is the retroject throttle bodies that are the same size as the Weber twin choke, they're not cheap and will need other bits to make them work but they could certainly produce some interesting results.
http://www.webcon.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=15299Not sure how much the above system would compare to fitting original injection to an engine (presuming the engine you have fitted ever had an injection system fitted to it?) , if you've got a CVH or Zetec then you're laughing but as for the Valencia engine I don't know, as we all know Ford seem to have mucked about with the OHV engines manifolds (so they won't interchange easily) and I can't remember if any of them ever came with injection (I think the KA may have or the mk3 fezza???)
