You will probably find i am a bit long in the tooth for this site, i had three Fiats when i was 17 and thought the engines were superb so i now have a mk1 sporting certainly not my best buy but it is coming on so far since feb 10 clutch discs & pads head gasket due to cam carrier gasket leak and this is just stage one.
I have no intention of flashing it up as such but she does need tidying up it would seem previous owner had no love for it,my next mission is to go for a 4 branch manifold and possibly a six speed box however the box will be a nightmare as i wish it to bolt straight on but it is a matter of knowing which one will mate to my block suggestions please,i am not a rich man and all my work is done by a local mechanic but give him his due he is very reasonable at the present time she will sit at 7200 revs for 10 miles so far with no grief at all but i still have good oil pressure showing 1.5bar after a belting and 4 bar at 85mph so i guess it's not all bad.D
