dw1603 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I didn't realize there was a 1600cc version of the OHC engine. We never got it here. I had a hot 2 liter, and it would rev all day to 7500 and stay together. I'd love to build something really light with a full-house 1600 OHC. There was a 1300 OHC for the mainland Europe market. Saw one in a Dutch Transit van once, very few hills in the Netherlands!
dublin boy Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I know it's April 1st, but I have heard about a 1.3 Pinto OHC. I always assumed it wasn't true.
GeeBee Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I know it's April 1st, but I have heard about a 1.3 Pinto OHC. I always assumed it wasn't true. The 1.3 litre Pinto engine was used in the Taunus, Capri and the early Sierra
dublin boy Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Never saw a 1300 OHC in a Capri Geoff, but yes I'd forgotten about the original base model Sierra. Must be where I remember it from.

fiatboy Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 The aftermarket company in Maryland, "Replicas and Miniatures" has Weber carbs. Part no. P-11A. I guess they can be used as either downdraft or sidedraft. They were $8.00.
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) The aftermarket company in Maryland, "Replicas and Miniatures" has Weber carbs. Part no. P-11A. I guess they can be used as either downdraft or sidedraft. They were $8.00. Definitely NOT. Weber side-drafts are entirely different carbs from down-drafts, they look entirely different, and anybody who's ever seen real Webers will notice immediately. Mount side-drafts as down-drafts in the real world and all your gas will just run all over the engine and into the dirt. This shows 3 of R&M's Webers, definitely side-drafts in this case. Real... ...notice the position of the float-bowl covers. On a Weber down-draft, the float-bowl cover also mounts the velocity stacks... Edited June 11, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Hear's a set of R&M DCOE Webers. Though the label says "also usable as down-drafts"...well, not if you care about accuracy.
