Every worthwhile project deserves a worthwhile mascot.Actually from the 29th....while we did some "final" sanding, getting ready to go to the body shop for paint, our pup gets comfortable while supervising our work. He was very content, and happier than being left in the house by himself.

Late response here.I was thinking that the far line in this image should be the supply and the near one in the image that the filter is on now would be the return.
You can see the wear difference.
Late response here.
If you go back up the page, there was a question about the fuel hoses on a fuel injected tank. Which side the pick-up and return lines connect to. It might differ on other years, but on my '85 it is like the other poster (MarcusDeli) showed...pick-up on the right:

This tank is covered with undercoating and looks odd here. But that is a view of the right lower corner, as viewed from the rear of the car facing forward (although it is out of the car).
I would check the valve and ignition timing first if you are suspicious about it. The cam timing on a 1300 does not need to go out too far before the valves will hit the pistons (I've got one in my basement with this affliction) and then you can end up with an engine rebuild on your hands.Broke it. Good run out in the 1300 some twisty stuff then a bit of high speed freeway cruising back home. A mile out changed into third as I approached a junction around 30mph, missed the gear and crunched it because the engine cut out for no apparent reason. Couldn’t restart it and had to get the wife to tow the car home.
I have a spark and fuel (can see it in the filter and the accelerator jet is working). Pulled the plugs, all good and not flooded. The engine catches briefly but won’t start almost like the cam timing or ignition timing is out. I have a points replacement module fitted and I’m wondering if that’s the issue but I have a spark. Measured the coil all ok at 3.4 ohms. Checked the rotor arm and dizzy cap. All seem ok. I’m at a bit of a loss as what could be wrong...
Was that the entire "Fiat" section of the show? Looks lonely by itself, need to get more of them there.
Wow. I have the impression that Austin is a 'muscle car' town (as are most American areas), but I thought there were a lot of European vehicle enthusiasts there also.It was the entire "European Import" section.

Cars and Coffee this morning: "What izit?" "It's an MR2. My dad had one." "Naw, it's a Bert One. Says it right here." "What's that?"
