Finally, the rebuilt 1600SP arrived yesterday a.m. and now
sits in the cargo bay of our beloved '66 kombi/camper. I
will begin the surgery tomorrow after work, dropping in the
fuel pump, distributor, assembling tins, carb, manifold, etc
and then hope to tie it all in on saturday. I will of
course take photos and try to get them scanned on the web.
At least I'll report back after the beast has roared once
again. Last night I opened the engine hatch and stood back
to make a photo of the empty, but clean, compartment. It
reminded me of looking at Uncle Wally's photos of his chest
cavity taken during his heart transplant, after the bad
heart came out and before the good one was dropped in. Made
me woozy and I had to sit. Maybe it was the leftover gunk
fumes. Wish me luck. The motor sure is pretty! rayHave something to add on this topic today? Revive this thread in the forum »
