So ive grown up a bit have a family and now need a 4 door family cruiser and have been hunting for a good one of these for a while. sadly means my mk1 is officially for sale  but worth it i think Well i found it a very original 81000 mls mk2 cortina been parked in a shed for 20 years or so. 100% all there and tidy doors still close like it was new went over the car well and couldnt find any rust apart from a few surface dots  pick it up hopefully on sunday

Has anyone run one of those lock rite diff lockers on the road do they unlock unpredictably as in feathering while sideways

things are now moving ahead well got suspension in bought me sum new gaz adjustables  for the rear everything going together as planned so far still short on a driveshaft for drivablity and crack testing for certs

Really happy with all the gaps and lines. Removed engine again and removed battery tray washer bottle actually everything deloomed  brake lines moved to inside of car was supposed to be a legal thrasher but ive got a bit carried away haha and got some paint

Ok so been real slack on the updates but have a bit of progress but test fitted all panels and finished off the panelbeating

Try cortina auto one they are straight and longer than the escort one

Who would be the best person for dyno tuning carbs in chch palmside dont want to know lots do efi but no one lists carbs

this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/fuel-systems/auction-900010094.htm and this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/fuel-systems/auction-900458652.htm  work really well together

toyota r154 pretty strong box 

r100 rx2 rx3 rx4 basic schematic wiring diagrams not sure if anyone has found this site before but looks handy

gearbox looks rx somthing by starter and clutch location

imo leave the carb free up the exhaust  give a little timing and good tune up standard 1300s dont need a bigger carb unless you cam them with a gt cam or somthing  and with different carb from a different engine family i doubt it will run very nice without re jetting lots of time requred for little reward .

Exhaust no bigger than 1 7/8 will do nice for a hot little 1300/1600 in the future 2 inch i find are to droney.

why waste time and money for somthing you may not use again if you upgrade the engine anyway easyer to find an 32/36 weber carb that will bolt onto a factory manifold that will fit factory linkages.

yes but they are spring loaded so the tab just sits on one flat of the opposing triangles and will self return like most tps and they can be flipped over for so can use clockwise or anti clockwise

voltage drop in the start wire ? sure they run down beside the battery cable check voltage to that wire under crank should be no less than 9 volts if so fit relay to that wire

044s are an awesome pump but noisy as shit especially hot.  intank pumps are they way to go way quieter and cheeper  unless you are chasing  power 350kw plus

ahh maybe it got the same issue that SRs get do they have hydraulic lifters? the old SRs used to do that you would thrash them round then park them up and all the oil drains out of the lifters.

Go to start next morning no compression. Hold foot flat to the floor and crank over till it catches one cyl at a time and away they would go.

Usually if they were over due for a service

put a testlight on the neg side of the coil and crank the engine and  does it  flash?

yes---- check  condensor or coil

No----- make sure the points arent shorted to ground.

check for an earth wire on the distributor plate should be one so it isnt earthing through the vacume advance slider thingees.

also have found if you dont clean brand new points with thinners or the like then they burn up as the have a preservative oil on them to stop rust
