I'll just start with some snappies and add text later. I found the car through a casual conversation with a friend who had a neighbor with an old car sitting in the garage. After changing the coil, some fuel lines and cleaning the tank, it fired up and runs surprisingly well. I'll go into details soon, off to work for now....

I have a 73 2.0 litre, yours is in really good shape and glad to hear you are keeping it original. I replaced the points in mine with the electronic module kit and you might want to consider that, also I changed the oil 3 times in the first 2000 miles to "clean" it out and was glad I did that, first 2 were quite dirty. Have fun with it and welcome to the club!

I have had bad experience with "electronic module kits", Pertronics specifically. I have had three of them on two different cars and they all eventually failed. One lasted 24,000 miles, one failed after 200 miles. The third one came with a 912E I bought two years ago. the car would hiccup after a one hour drive and then smooth out. Eventually it got worse. I suspected fuel injection problems but decided to reinstall points. The problems went away immediately. RenoRoger |
