cheers Jani :D here's the fuel pressure regulator on the engine; http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/levibaantjer/IMG_0084Large.jpg time for some plumbing.. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/levibaantjer/IMG_0085Large.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/levibaantjer/IMAG4632Large.jpg ...

i might be able to help you with the strap, as my '80 343 will get a 2.3 redblock fitted there's no room for the spare wheel under the bonnet anyway

what type of oil filter have you used?

i suspect the new filter doesn't have a one way valve (rubber flap) in it and so the pump has to refill the oil gallery every time you start

the chamber in the primary unit is larger on the thicker hose side, so there's more room to fill with air.

if you can slightly pressurize the chamber via the smaller hose, and it holds that air for about 10sec then it's ok

since it will get a DIS coil i no longer need the distrubuter, as the shaft potentially is a nice place for securing wiring etc i intend to keep it in place for now but it will lose the dizzy cap offcourse so i made a new cover http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/levibaantjer/IMG_0067Large.jpg ht...

you say that the solenoid A clicks at 1800rpm, in that case the electrics are ok; it won't allow solenoid A to be energized if any of the 3 kickdown switches are operated. swapping the hoses behind the EMV will cause the car to change up gear too much wich suggests that the fault is at solenoid B it...

KMS , it will control both fuel and ignition (DIS coil)

engine bay stripped out a bit further


and this car is also getting an LSD

car was allready in a storage unit but i've been busy getting that storage unit to a level where there would be a efficient storage and a small workspace at the same time, i still do a lot of stuff next to the house but this way i don't need to worry about tools laying around and stuff and if i need...

What years are both of them?
You need to keep the renix with the engine to be safe

there is a lot depending on the modelyear of the different cars, even the VIN plates can vary over the years.
300's have mostly been built here in the netherlands and quite a few in Malaisia, nowhere else

this kind of stuff is impossible to do on a conveyor belt assembly structure inbetween normaal production. it takes much more time setting up a B19A on twin solex then on a single stromberg and it is simply impossible to cope with that.. factory R-sports were newly bought cars that were converted at...

that's the problem i have with my 343, all bolted chassisparts are powdercoated and you just stay busy cleaning everything

great job mac

this is that 340 diesel and it has car documents from belgium


it's not bad on the rust side, has a little on the front wings, on the sill corners and behind the rear bumper from what i've read

jep they are shorter and the later style arb does not fit as the mounting position sits further back. you can convert the whole setup to the modern arb and later style engine mounts, you do need 2 M10x20 1.25thread bolts for the enginemount adaptor for that as these older B14's don't have std M10 th...
