Hi Fourteeners,
I'm Chris. I just bought this gold 72 1.7 from the second owner who owned it for 40 years! It is in really amazingly well preserved *almost* rust free, *almost* original condition. It has about 70k miles on it. It lived most all of its life in the high desert of so cal, owned by an engineer who maintained it himself (with a log!). Unfortunately I didn't do a compression test on it before I bought it, and now I see that it has two cylinders at 130 and two at 165. And the 130 cylinders are not on the same side.... Anyway, I just thought I'd introduce myself. Here's a question; I think I'm going to keep driving the original, 1.7 matching numbers mill for a while. But, I'd like to put a reasonably fresh 2.0 motor in there. Any advice on my options? Long block? Used rebuild? FI v. carbs? Best, Chris  |
