I am thinking of buying a 74 1.8 for 3500 with 39k miles, a mechanic I know got in a trade for some work and I have wanted one for about 10 years . also how much more HP will I get if I put dual webbers on it ( are 44 better than 40s ) and are there higher ratio rocker arms to increase lift to allow for the added fuel , eletronic ignition hotter coil , what other semi simple HP increasing things can I do . BTW I love this website

32,572 miles on a 37 year old car is somewhat suspect. I would be concerned that it might be 132,572 miles. Of course the most important thing is RUST. Point out all the rust to the owner, offer him 1500 and see what happens.
Cheers, Elliot |
