Ford Capri - Weber Idle Jets

I finally got back to do something on the cars today. I took the white XL for a drive last weekend & while it didn't miss a beat on the motorway, it was hesitating at idle or driving away from the lights. I have been having trouble with this car on & off for some time with this problem & not until this week, after owning the car for nearly 15 years, did I learn that it has 2 idle jets, one on each side of the Weber carbie.
I have blown out the carbie numerous times as I had suspected water in the carbie & it has driven OK for a while. Anyway, after reading a Weber diagnostic chart & looking at an overhaul kit chart & looking at a spare Weber I had, I made this amazing discovery. So, I had never been blowing out this area.
Both jets are really easy to unscrew & then I removed the idle/mixture jet. On with the compressor & a good blasting in all directions. There were numerous small drops of water coming out, especially from the LHS jet area. I did this for about 30 mins until no more drops appeared.
After re-inserting all the jets, the car idled really well for about 10 minutes but I did not have time to road test it so that will really tell me if my cleaning has solved the problem.
Here are some not very good pictures of the idle jet screws.

Ford Capri - Capri History

I have now owned my white 1972 Capri XL for nearly 16 years & I have never been able to successfully document its history. I have the documentation relating to its build by the Ford Motor Company but apart from the person I bought it from, I have drawn a blank. Privacy policies mean you cannot retrieve previous owners names but I do know it has  been in Brisbane for all of its life & mainly on the north side. I was told by the previous owner that he thought the car was a prize in a beauty contest.
The only such contests in the 1970s were the Miss Australia Quests. Each state chose a winner & then a national winner was declared. Ford was a major sponsor & cars were awarded to the major prize winners.
This led me on my latest search to the Queensland State library where all the history related to the Miss Australia Quest is now housed. My search came very close but not quite & a further visit may be necessary. The attached clippings & programs show that the prizes did include Ford Falcons, Cortinas, Escorts & Capris. In fact the prize for the 1973 Miss Australia (Michelle Downs - a previous wife of racing car legend, Peter Brock), held on 3 November, 1972 was a Ford Capri XL. These dates would correspond with my car which was built in July, 1972 but I cannot find a picture of the winner with her car. There are pictures of winners & cars in 1971 & 1973, 1974 but the one I am looking for is elusive. Even if I do find it, I am not sure what it proves but I will rest happy.
