Ric, I don't think i can do much better without looking at all the specs, have you got a pic of the engine bay as this might give me a better idea of what it's out off. The Stanza L16 engine will respond in the same way as any other L series with head work etc. or it may have high top pistons fitted etc. The fuel setup seems like a compromise when it was fitted to the 1600, may be your 16 doesn't have a fuel return line. regards, terry ric White wrote: > Well then do you have any idea why she goes so hard the 2 last owners who are my >mates recon it is a freak L16 and it shouldn't go that good. > The airfilter was a crappy light blue colour. > It has wot I think is standard diff ratio and old clunker 4 speed. > Also why would they have the left over fuel from the carby getting drained straight >back into the fuel filter.
