Engine |
This is how the engine looks today. I have a list of the things I have done below. It's an early 72 02 eninge which came with the single barrel solex carb. It also came with smog equipment as well. |

Things I've done to the Engine: Carb conversion to Weber 32/36 Intake manifold replacement to accomodate the dual barrel carb Carb professionally tuned and re-jetted Replaced distributor cap (existing was for an Audi!!) and Pertronix electronic ingnition New plugs, new plug wires New K&N air filter Smog equipment removal New water pump New belt New battery and alternator Upgrade to 320 Radiator Replaced all radiator hoses Installed check valve for brake booster. |
As it stands right now, the electronic ignition and the weber upgrade have been the most noticeable things I've done to the engine. The engine runs much cooler due to the water pump I installed and the bigger radiator from the 320. I am planning on changing to an electric fan as well in order to cut down on engine noise and gain a few horsepower as well. In addition, I will be putting the battery in the trunk very shortly to allow for more workspace, addition of a newer distibutor from a 2002 tii, and a 2002 tii exhaust manifold. Other than that, not much else until I get a new engine. |
