Re: [MBZ] Fix it again Tony

Ex brother in law had one of these that put a high school buddy of mine through college. His dad owned a shop where brother in law took his 124 sport coupe, which was usually at least once a month. Right after we graduated he ditched the 124 and bought a turd brown X1/9. Cool little car but a

I worked on the Fiat 124 series along with the MGs, Triumphs, Alfas, Jags, Datsuns, VWs etc. in the early '70's at the garage that put me through school. I don't remember them being any more frequent visitors than any of the other cars of the time. On Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 6:37 AM dan penoff.com

Re: [MBZ] Kaleb 240D moves on

Depends on how you drive it, I had 2x 240Ds and on my commute I'd get on the highway and just put the pedal to the floor. They'd get up to 85mph on the flats and just hold. I'd imagine that run north isn't terribly hilly. As they say its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

Good point. Something to be very careful about on these older high mileage CIS cars: Seals in the fuel distributor, specifically the seal on the plunger that’s on the bottom of the fuel distributor, can leak. It’s not difficult to replace, but any kind of tinkering with the fuel distributor
