I have the diagrams from pelican for the various hose routings. However it would be very helpful if one of you engine builders would be so kind as to post a few pics of just how things go. I may be missing the odd rubber dodad or 90 deg.this and that. The IPL leaves a lot to be desired. It is a 1974 2.0. TIA

Oh, I almost forgot. My dizzy has two vacume fittings. The throttle body has two as well but one has been plugged (braised) I believe the plugged one is for retard. Should I clear it , leave it and plug the dizzy, or leave it and not plug the dizzy ( allowing diaphragm travel). Thanks again!

can't help but I can bump.

What the heck is a dizzy? I don't believe that dizzy is the technical term for distributor. That sounds like a brittish thing..... Perhaps MG's have dizzys? Maybe that is one of the problems with keeping them running.....

You need the 90degree elbow as I believe it also has a smaller nipple with a smaller line attached there. You may be able to fabricate something that works if you can't find the parts. I thought the diagrams were quite self explanatory. There is even a color coded example (I believe) at the Pelican site.

Is this what you want?

*sigh* I wish my motor was that clean......

Yeah, thats a pic of Jeff Bowlsby LE engine

Nice picture, anyone have one of those for a 1.7? Not that I need it yet but.........would be nice to have on file.

Rich,thanks for the bump.
Bleyseng that's perfect. Thanks! I bought the motor as a long block. The other parts I have collected from
a 1.7 and from other people. The pelican site shows the AAR facing the opposite direction of how it
actually mounts. The diagram is functional however I was just wondering about routing. Dizzy has and
probably always will be slang for distributor. I am not a typist so anything shorter makes life easy.
Johnman LUCAS is the problem with keeping them running.
Anybody care to comment on the dizzy? (helpfull comments)

The advance fitting points away from the distributor body; the retard points back toward the distributor body.

The advance fitting on the throttle body points toward the distributor; the retard one points back away from the distributor.

If your retard fitting on the TB is plugged closed, it's not a bad idea to open it back up again. You may have to fiddle with the idle speed if you do so.

WOW! thanks for doing the post Dylan and thanks Geoff for posting the pic. I'll be needing that pic tomorrow when I (I hope) get the 2.0 installed!

Dizzy is an easier way to say/write distributor & that's what I have heard & used since coming into the 914 world.
