Hi - so I'm just preparing for my maiden voyage - the car must have been off the road for at least 10 years judging by the rust in the floor when I got it in June. I've changed the fan belt this morning, but there are a few thingsI saw that I think need tidying. Its got a mid mounted progressive weber (yes I know), and there looks to be a port on each side near where the headers meet the tin - should some pipes be connected to these please? Also in one photo showing the port on the passenger side there is a wire coming out of the tin with a female spade connector - you can see it in the photo. There is also a green with red trace wire coming out of the loom near the distributor which isn't connected to anything.
The car runs, but not well. Not sure how far I will get down the road! Thanks, Dylan Attached image(s) |

'73 model year, the angle of the spark plug says it's a 1.7, that model is D Jet and the '72 and '72 share the same system, which is the least wanted, meaning the parts are the cheapest!
Biggest problem with the dual Webers is that it wont run any better than the carb that is on it now. The reason is that it most certainly has the original cam which is Fuel Injected. The po didn't spend any real money on the induction system hence the crappy carb, and I doubt that the case was split for a cam install. There looks to be some missing hoses for the crankcase breather, easy fix. We have access to several great websites with a lot of D-Jet info and I bet you that the greater majority of cars that were brought back to there D-Jet systems are better running cars than their carbbed counterparts. MY $.02 on this side of the pond. |
