OK, its been a fast week, however since posting on this board last Thursday I have bought, picked up and delivered a 1.7 L engine to my mechanic to replace the 1.7L that needs rebuilding.
The engine was purchased from two great guys, one a member of this board, and on Wednesday of this week (or Thursday) I will be a few levels happier. Now, a question. (Mike D you can chime in if you are out there, I wasnt able to fully ask all of the questions I had this past Saturday -it was early and I was still dizzy from all of the 'new stuff' I was exposed to). electronic points/ignition? The newer electronic points kits out there, are they really that much better than the good old fashion points, and is it a safe bet to simply install them without any additonal tweaking? - What are the potential hazzards -there arent a lot of people out there discussing the drawbacks of dropping in one of the electronic kits. Hope to hear from you. thanks again for all recent help. |

Actually, before discovering the Valve problem in the 1.7L that is being orphaned. I just had my points replaced, and had my exhaust system checked and repaired. As a result I was able to notice the horrible intake related problems that resulted in the search and discovery of the good old bent/broken intake valve.
So, since I have just put new points in the car, perhaps I'll enjoy them for a while before jumping to the 'pointless' concept considering the improvement will be minor. |
