Mk. 3 engine questions
I recently returned from running my 1982 North American Escort in Maxton, North Carolina in the East Coast Timing Association's standing mile land speed trials. Of course, I was one of the slowest cars there, running 103.2 miles per hour. In my class, I can use any combination of carburetors offered by the factory. In America, the only carb setup offered by the factory was the weber 32/34 based Motorcraft. I am just wondering if there was anything superior to this offered in the European spec Escort.
For any interested, here is a quick video of a 102 mph run.

Are you reffering to the 32 DFT/DFTH, 4/4b ?, or the 30/34, 3a/3a-02, or 4A -02 ?
need more exact info on carb, ie whole numbers, but there is always cheats you can do, can it be any ford at the time or does it have to be escort ?, the 30/34 was based on a solex, not webber.
