Just a tad dirty......:freak:


What a sexy coil! I've never seen it before........

[socalsean]

coolio! throw some dual dellorto 40s...or some 45s....and rock out! reminds me of my VWs....god I miss them.

[JonnyScorch]

looks like you're out of coolant..

What was involved hooking up the aftermarket ignition? i have a Jacobs setup for a 740 turbo i wanna use in the B21a+t... the 744ti is not worthy..

[MikeHardy]

nah coolants fine, these old tanks get a lining fo scum that makes them hard to see through.

igntiton was done using a pertonix ignitor to replace the stock points/condensor setup, then a few wires and bingo

[Matt Dupuis]

What is that, a B23A? I'm guessing so 'cause it's not a B21 block. I've never seen a carb quite like that one either - we got SU up until 1980 or so and Stromberg from '81-'83, in B21A form only. After that, nothing carb'd.

Could they design a WORSE intake manifold?

[MikeHardy]

according to the paperwork it's a B21A, why would you say it's not a B21 block, carb is a stromburg 175CDUS, yeah the manifold sucks.

[TheJoyOfSix]

Sorry to be pedantic but you have the Zenith DVG 175 CDSU carb, not the Stromberg 175 CD-2SE.

[Morley]

Hey....the engine is right, but the car is mirrored? Stupid englishmen, brake reservoir on the right side of the car... ;-)

[Morley]

Sorry to be pedantic but you have the Zenith DVG 175 CDSU carb, not the Stromberg 175 CD-2SE.

Yep. And we know it's not a B23A, cause they have the Pierburg xxx, which has a tiny yellow cap mounted, not in the center, but at the edge of-the-top-of-the-carburator.

[Matt Dupuis]

Well again, my bad. All our carb'd engines are early B21s without the oil separator box and with the cam cover vent.

Edit - AFAIK.

[volvorsport]

actually the manifold is as efficient as any other , you need to go back to school young man .

[samyboy]

big brick you need to spray something on your aluminum... like wd-40. then take pictures. they come out much better when stuff has a protective shinny coat on it.

no it's not

clearly states on the top cover stromburg 175 CDUS

[Dfer10]

looks good not matter what, little dirty but ehh.

[volvorsport]

yep i was talking intake manifold aswell , stromberg/pierburg are one and the same thing aswell , not that any of that matters - its a lot cleaner than my engine bay .

[JonnyScorch]

Heres my 93K B21A.. just for comparison.. i think mines a little dirtier tho..lol

[MikeHardy]

i'ts an 81, but we still had mech pumps here aslong as we had carbs engines, which were fazed out late 80's early 90's, basically till CAT's were made compulsory in 92
