Hi there, I've got a line on a 69 fastback, rust free, good condition, daily driver, cheap... here's the catch, I'm a long time type 2 man meself, and started off long ago with type 1 but am unfamiliar with the pancake in the type 3. The lady selling it says it runs fine, but occasionally the engine "just quits" as she's pulling into a parking lot, and she gets towed home only to find the beast starts up fine the next time she tries to get in it. Been to her mechanic a few times (nothing ever found) and has decided to get rid of the car. My questions are these: Is the fuel injection difficult to troubleshoot on these puppies, and can one find parts for them? And, as a last resort... has anyone popped a type 1 doghouse 1600 into one of these cars by altering the back body area? really thinking about getting this car, but don't want to back myself into a corner i can't get out of. thanks much for any and all info!
