http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =206266335 this looks pretty good.. is 2k about what u would spend for this sort of rebuild?

this look good option?:::: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =204033763

whats involved in rebuilding the engine? a comprehensive list?

what year zetec is the recomended? and price wise? how hard to install loom? etc. what about the BP engine with an mx5 5spd?

like this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 161062.htm

3g to buy engine and do myself, im veering towards a 4age out of an ae86. around 1.5 and then the rest for brakes shocks wiring etc

1977 mk2 and i was wondering on some options for engine transplant, and info on them. i have had options such as 4age, mx5, 2l cortina, but im just not sure, im not after incredible power or anything(not saying im not looking), just something that runs well and can go the distance. money isnt too much of a problem, but i would be looking closely after around $3k. ideas?

another question: what is the bush made out of on the shaft?

hi all, i have the kent 1600 OHV in my mk2 escort. i have the 751 F-12100-AA dissy and i need a new one. is the one out of the 1300 compatible (s/n: 71 BB-12100-AMB). they both have the same static advance: 10 BTDC. any ideas? my suspicions are it might have a different power output. that right?

good to see replies and some good info. being an air force boy i have had a fair bit of study and work over the last week and a bit, so not much looked at, talking to one of the SGTs who is an encyclopaedia of knowledge, im probably gonna take in the dissy to the workshop and get the machinists to have a look and see if they can manufacture anything. total cost: 1doz (hopefully. and the materials)

i had been told that was a possibility, any brands etc that would be good to look at?

quick question which id assume would happen to a few people. my fuel gauge is haunted i think: i fill it up and it sits at 3/4 for then starts to go down, it gets to about 1/2 and then screws around and tells me its empty. i know for a fact its not. is this a bad earth or just a crappy measuring probe?

anyone got a wiring diagram to suit?

another issue, yay. my hazard light switch on my 77 mk2 was playing up, so i took it out to have a look and unfortunately it self destructed. i managed to find most of the stuff, but now my indicators stopped working. does anyone have a way to bypass the hazard lights to get the indicators working or even better have a schematic for the inside of the switch?

interesting, now im in blenheim i have no choice but to go to someone else. ill have to wait till next week coz it seems they all open up again on the monday.

assuming thats the only problem, should it start up first time?

i took it for a service and tune and they told me then. other than that it just struggles to start when cold

hey all, i got myself a MK2 Escort, really good condition, minimal rust but the distributor is rooted, the shaft bushing has gone, which i spose happens with age. anyway, the question, how do i go about putting an electronic dissy in? ive heard an old jap one will work like a sentra/sunny . has anyone else done this and put it on a post somewhere? or even if you have better suggestions that would be golden. thanks.
