ok thanks for replies, wheel hubs were loose as well apparently (bearings?) could this all be tied together?

what is the most expensive thing here, and what would take the longest and most parts to repair?

just so i can judge cost and time etc

took the 77 mk2 esky to a wof place and one of the issues he quoted was a loose streering rack.

the bushing right at the bottom has been replaced less than a year ago.

any ideas what he could be talking about, im not sure if he was just unusually picky, but im trying to sell the car and this looks like the most expensive issue.

thanks, sorry if i cant be more specific.

thats what ive been looking at, but it looks like he cut away the wires as well, one guy did carbs, another guy did electrical.

is a windshield washer bottle required for a wof?

the guy who did some work on mine (mk2 esky) took it out to fit the carbs, and the original wont fit anywhere.

if it is needed can u buy small ones and hook them up to a switch?

yea i gave him a call and he sounded onto it

pretty sure it outta the exhaust

2l pinto in escort with twin webers, recently started popping on accelerating(mostly at high speed), they r still running too high fuel pressure so im wondering if this is the only issue, thinking of trying "weber specialties" on north shore to tune them, any suggestions?

thanks

its already been certified so its got the new plate, but someone at vtnz said i need to do a change of details

not sure, i have to fill out a change of details form and one section is engine number, it is like 17 spaces long so i thought it must be a big number to identify the model of the engine?

mk2 1977 escort, ive searched the interwebs and not having much luck

where on the block is this found?

i found a number on the exhaust side that contained: 70HM6015B-A i dont think i got the beginning as it was under the engine mount.

and another thing: on the intake side just above the starter motor is a bell shaped thing going into the block with a wire on it, except the wire has broken off and im assuming its another one that i can see not attached to anything. what is this?

im in whenuapai in auck and need to fit a fuel pressure regulator for my weber carbs. 1 - 4psi i believe, and also will need them tuned once this is done, any good places in waitakere or henderson sorta areas?

my bad, wasnt thinking that sorta linear, i was more along the lines of or kms over whole range, but u make more sense

after swapping the engine to my esky i've noticed the speedo is out by a fair bit, as an example speedo reads 60 for going actually 50 and 120 for 100, so its not linear, whats the issue likely to be? gauge?

wat r some good ones in auckland. preferably waitakere

weber twin 40s dripping fuel out of the trumpets.

is this due to fuel pressure too high? (no fuel regulator)

is it very serious?

found this in the boot, a guy told me it was a fuel regulator, i have no idea why it wasnt fitted. im assuming this is what i want

and repco does th gaskets aye?

i also need a fuel regulator to bring the fuel pressure down from 5psi for the carbs, brands, shops etc? what am i looking for?

just drove the car back from getting the carbs tuned, twin 40s. and they said there was a fair bit of oil leaking and couldnt find the cause. on looking it seems to be sitting around the rocker cover, is this an obvious cause or just a symptom?

finally found a replacement for the fuel sender unit in my mk2 esky and this ones even worse, no signal whatsoever, (effectively zero fuel all the time) as im about to drive to auckland from christchurch, was wondering if there are any units i can buy retail new from a shop that will do the same job, or am i gonna ned to new gauges etc? or is there a repair i can do?

i thought everything might have been stiffened a bit for the added "power"

all the guides say the "2L" so i apologise if i cant be more specific (im referring to the spannerfodder pinto into eskie guide)

i know you can swap the suspension from the 2litres (leafs and struts) but does that mean you need new brakes? or are the two systems completely separate from each other?

awesome thanks heaps for the replies, mite actually get it on the road by christmas now
