Howdy everyone, I going to go look at a 142 for sale, don't know the year yet. I'm no stranger to the old 240s, but my earliest has been my 78 242. What should I look for that may be a 142 specific issue?
I drove through a car show with my 79 242 and a guy asked if I wanted a 142 to go with it. We only had a couple minutes, during that time I learned the following about it:
Isky cam
Fuel injection head, lightly shaved
Dual Dellorto 40mm carbs (sounds like a lot of carb for that engine, idk)
Manual trans
Floors were replaced a while ago
Car hasn't been run in a few years
Going to call him tomorrow for more info, like what year is it? Haha
