I've just come across a completely stock '69 squareback w/ FI.....only 66K on the engine....it's been barn stored for around 30 years...the son of the original owner tried to use it for a winter car...(it was barned for having a small fuel leak)...a new bosch electronic fuel pump has been installed...and cap and wires..injectors and plugs...he stopped using it due to the plugs getting oil fouled quickly after he tried to put a different exhaust on..put the stock back on and it never ran quite the same I guess. I intend to replace all the suspension and restore the rust damage under the body...but I'm a bit torn on what to do w/ the engine currently....should I completely rebuild it w/ new pistons and such...or just replace all the gaskets...change the ignition over to electronic?.....and a bit confused on which oil pump to get...wanting to replace the stock one w/ one with an oil filter port. Will j-pipes interfer w/ cold weather driving....thinking of replacing the heater boes w/ them since they're much cheaper...and installing a alternator inplace of the generator...which seems to have some arc spots on the stator...should allow me to run a small electric heater. Body damage doesn't seem to be bad ecept for the rocker panels and right around the headlights.... Any help would be great. Robin __________________________________ Yahoo!
