I still want to thank you for the precious advice, after having lapped the carburetor, it's a whole other thing, it finally runs smoothly

many thanks I appreciate

yes it is equipped with a damn Zenith 36IV with which my father in the 80s had problems and replaced it with a Solex 36IV (the version with the bypass screw), which however gave me problems last year, so having to spend 300 pounds plus the kit to overhaul it from the best specialist in the...

I suspected so, I've put 6 degrees for a fuel of 96 octane, but I tried to turn the distributor but I dont hear the engine running smoothly.... today I finally found number 8, it couldn't be seen I had to scrape a bit, by now I have rebuilt the whole upper part of the engine, including the...

cheers a lot!

I've picked up this old post because a big dubt is buzzing around my head! my engine head of a late 1969 Series 2a (2.25 Engine) has a 568750 number marked on his head. It has the rectangular boss but with no 7 or 8 number. I checked wherever, looking for a number, even when I removed the head...

many thanks :)

in my opinion, when you have an engine that runs regularly in phase set for octane, you can give an ear adjustment to make it work smoother, but it must not have detonation problems for example already at 10 degrees, otherwise with more 'advance you may have a knocking at highest engine speed ....

hi there, you have to disconnect the vacuum pipe only if you use the timing light and the running engine, if you simply use a 12V bulb with the engine stopped no. About the degrees of advance it depends, in my case with a 96 octane fuel, I have to adjust it to 6 BTDC

I also decided to post the best movie here and not on a new thread because the whole story is reported. Take a look, the Land leaves without the Santana sun visors but later there' is, because he bought it in Spain. Enjoy watching PART 1 PART 2

then the second trip you will love it, i am about to upload it thanks for watching

well said, I remember his stories while the projector turned when I was a child. You think that in the 80s he almost sold it to buy a van, he said it consumed too much. I made hysterical scenes and cried for three days, so he didn't sell it. I thought that he kept it for me and instead .... it's...

the answer to your specific question is Champion N.8 or equivalent for the correct gradation of a 7:1 compression ratio. From the photo some spark plugs thread looks a little wet, is it oil?

I only have the collection of insects and arachnids cataloged in the box showcases .... in the last photo you can see the complete spotlights, he added many things in subsequent trips, I intend to put them all back on, to think that he took them off to make the vehicle inspection which was never...

it's a nice idea, but unfortunately the travel diaries have been lost and the photos I posted are the only ones I have

thank you very much, it means so much, I didn't want all this to remain closed in a closet and over time there would be no trace, I knew that here you would have appreciated the story.

the first frame is a map of which I am very fond of because it accompanied me throughout my childhood, as you can see in the second one, my father was a pipe smoker, in fact even now in the dash board there is his pipe holder if you notice.

thank you guys for your warm welcome, I'm glad you like the story, even my wife who always said "throw that junk" every time I went to work on it in the garage, after she saw the movies she said "you can't sell it with a story so behind ". This is the first film, it is a bit dark but it is...

Thanks to all, I only have two photos of my father's travels, but the good news is that he made all the films of his travels and I'm uploading them these days ....
