UPDATED 2/25/05
My $500.00 1975 2.0 I will be posting pics of my progress as I clean up this engine and put it in my '71 that currently has the stock 1.7L. Engine was running when it came out of the '75 about 3 years ago. About 10,000 miles on rebuild before it came out of the car, according to PO. No plans at this point to tear it completely down or do anything special (or costly). Just clean it up and replace/repair whatever is necessary. I welcome in comments/suggestions/opions that anyone wants to throw my way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hopefully by next summer my I'll be driving my new toy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Time to get greasy! Sean Attached image(s) |

Looks very complete! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) And the MPS looks brand new (or at the very least "less dirty" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) I'd scrap and replace all hoses and vacuum lines, including the intake runner boots, just to be on the safe side.
Be careful, it's very easy to say "Well hell, I've got it this far apart...I might as well...", and the next thing you (your wallet) know(s) you're doing a complete rebuild. |

Pull all the tin and clean all the crap off the cyilnders and oil cooler.
Take the alternator off and have it tested before the engine is in the car. |

Is it an old style starter disable for an alarm system?

Look's like the round fuel pump relay went out and was relaced with a more common relay.

Yep, That's it. Mine went dead on me, had to wire in a jumper to get the fuel pump running. I'm planning on doing a proper fix during the winter down time, but for now, flip the switch and drive!!
:finger2: Good luck with the 2.0. I'll be interested in watching your results... |

Rhodes,
if you can find a set of 73/74 heat exchangers and back date, you will pick up 5hp.... (I know its a "while your there, kinda thing" brant |

It will flow better than the smog setup. The '75-"76 set up was a two cylinder into one pipe and is restrictive, especially when combined with the cat converter. It appears that the air injection holes in the heads are already plugged off, so the PO must have removed the smog pump and associated tubing already.

Oven cleaner worked great on my heat exchangers (WEAR GLOVES!...duh). Let it set on there per instructions, and scrub them with a scotchbrite pad. A wire brush will work also, but you have to be very careful not to flip the oven cleaner on you while you're scrubbing.
And "while you've got it apart this far" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) take a large bastard file and "square" the tops of the exhaust inlets. It'll make for a better seal when re-installed. |

Sean, (sorry for not paying attention and using your name correctly before) The 75/76 style is pretty restrictive.. I meant by back dating that yes, you can bolt up the complete early style system.... You can find SSI's or even stock 2.0 stuff will work well. I think you will need the all the bits... - a pair of Heat exchangers - I think the early style muffler (or bursch or any aftermarket for an early style 2.0) - an early style 2.0 muffler bracket (or you can make your own) - the muffler gaskets for the early style system. brant |

I was definitely going to go with a different muffler set up but if I can use the 1.7 then I will do that. Yes the injection holes were plugged, smog pump was taken off at some point. Another question - the oil filter is touching were the heat exchanger bolts to the exhaust coming out of the passanger side head. Is this normal? Maybe the filter is larger than it should be. Doesn't look like anything is tweaked. |
