I dunno on the dualcarbs thing. Seem pretty rare, The 1400 was prone to a few problems from what I've heard anyway tho, so might see about working one of the 1800 I've got lying about seeing as its already been toyed with and attempt to leave uterus standies.
Might try source a better box too, think I found one dumped up the valley the other day that could do the trick. Does like 4000rpm at 100k. Not cool.
That ute in the bushes makes me sad, Must be so many round like that.
Don't really know a whole lot to be honest, bit of an oddball car. Only one available then with a brake booster, front discs, the dualcarbs of course. Can't think.
Different gearbox going by the feel of the ratios. Different trims and things to the ordinary 1400's.
Really just need to rip in and get learning. Lack motivation/time/sick of cars by the weekend.
