Just Another FIAT Freak
Yep - it's starting to happen. mg:
A year ago, for the cost of the tow (thank you tdskip), I aquired a '77 1300 4 speed parts car with the intentions of building up a motor for my '74.
So far the car has served mostly as work bench, but did contribute some parts when I repaired my bushingless RH headlight door linkage and my very hard to crank LH window regulator assy and window stop on my '74.
So, since the homeowners association sent me a "get rid of that eyesore in the driveway" letter, I pulled it in the garage and started taking parts off the motor.
Which brings me to this new thread.
Prior to my getting the car, the motor has been stripped of it's manifolds, distributor, exhaust, and electrical, so all thats sitting in the engine bay is basically a long block attached to a 4 speed trans and CV shafts.
I pulled the cam tower assy and found out this donor motor is not the original motor. The head has the 4 individual smog pump manifold ports like my '74, not the single pipe like whats on my '78. So my first question to those in the know is what model year did they get rid of the smog pump 1-4 log manifold and switch to the 1-1 single pipe connection?
