I have spent all of last week tinkering with my 1.7 out of my 73. I got it stripped down to a long block and all cleaned up. I am now putting all of the tins and accessories back on. I am thinking, from what I have read in searches, that my thermostat is shot. Can these be rebuilt or do I need to try to find another one ??
Also, on my vacuum lines, I have also read several posts about the diagrams in Haynes and on Pelican, that the diagrams are incorrect for a 1.7. Also most of the 1.7 diagrams that I have found are for a 70-71. Which is the best diagram for a 73 ?? If everything goes ok, and I get my pieces from Pelican and 914rubber next week, I should hopefully be able to finally put this engine back in and get it running !! Any info is appreciated !!!
