dual 2bbls, the better carb would be? 5200 Vs 32/36

Gno DIFF-erence.
32/36 was used onNew Zealand and European 1600 Taunus and Cortinas with 75 hp in 1976 to 1984. So a 3300 engine giving 150 hp would really like them for an 'entree'. They were the same carb as the Pinto 2000 item, just had the return line and the choke on the other side. Same jetting, same venturi size, all else was simple.
The carbs will be rather sticky on the secondary becasue the loads will compund twice over, but it'll give really good economy if you have a shop or analyser on base to reset the idle correctors and idle mixture.
The local Ford Laser (AKA Mazda GLC or 323) had a Sport Twin Carb 1.5 liter variant. They used a very simple set of heavily dampened carbs which never opened up on the secondaries until wide open throttle or 3800 rpm, or 75 mph in 5th, whichever came first. Cars did 55 miles per imperail gallon (your 44 mpg), which was 5 mpg up on the stock 1.5 2-bbl.
Twin carbs are a great idea, and if you'll be able to put them on easily wioth a Mustang Geezer / 200Stang style plate.

I believe the holley 5200 used different jets than a weber?
Not sure, as I have never had a holley
Maybe they were just numbered differently?

Yeah, the numbers were jet size in microns in the first Autolite branded Holley Weber 32/36, and then got changed to cc/min flow on the later 5200 series ones.
I've been studying up on them, the Weber carb was made under licence by Bressel, Pierberg, Autolite, Holley, and Carter made a few as the 6500 something series.

ok, i guess i got the holley and the weber confused, so just to clarify
A) there's no difference at all between the carbs, from the mounting pattern to the fuel filter size
B) there's no performance/economy difference
if it's A, then what's the other 2bbl carb out there? the autolite 2100?
i'm just lookin for a breakdown of the carbs so i can figger which is better

Sorry. I haven't got may digital camera handy. The early Weber is a left handers, the later 5200 is a right hander, depending on how yopu look at it.
Early American Pintos had the Autolite built Weber DGV with water choke. It had the choke on one particlar side.
The European Cortina had the choke on the other side.
32/36 DGV (Manual Choke)
32/36 DGEV (Electric Choke)
32/36 DGAV (Water Choke)
32/36 DGFV (Electric Choke, reversed side)
Then Holley made it the 5200 series, branded as there own Holley, not with an Autolite part number. The Vega used a similar version, but with the primary and secondary reversed.
From the back, most of the American carbs had the choke pointing to the centre of the engine.
From the back of this Holley Weber 5200 carb of a 2300, the choke is reversed and the linkage is slightly different
Asside from some odd mirror imaging, the return line on 'foreign' Fords and the possibility that the secondary and primary barrels could be the other way around, they all bolt up to the Stovebolt or Clifford adaptors.
Hmm, if you used two, and had one carb from a New Zealand Cortina, and one from an American Pinto, you could run one electric choke and mount them like Albert Penello's, but doubled up.
If you want one, just holler!
