    Want to install 1500 engine and 5 speed in my 1974

    I have it on good authority that XWeb contains a plethora of threads that detail the installation of a 5 speed transmission into a 1974 X. I’m obviously mentally deficient as I cannot locate any of said threads. Would anyone here please tell me what the secret search phrase is? Thanks, Webpage...

    How to find lift, degree, and make sure you engine camshaft is good.

    Found this very helpful video on how to do what is probably one of the most misunderstood parts of an engine. Cam timing. Even though this is for a double overhead cam engine, the theory is the same.

    Help with Camshaft timing

    I need a little coaching (or link to where this is all explained). I am building a "hot street" 1500FI engine. High Compression pistons and 242deg cam from MWB. JonLogan@MW-124 built my head to perfection! I'll be running this with a Megasquirt ECU using the Ford EDIS ignition and crankshaft...

    Piston Pin Clips

    Info is scarce on this bear of a project, or maybe I don't know how to search it well enough. In any case I had to do this recently and figured maybe some pics might be useful. One post offered some insights and said to use 3/4" copper tubing. What works best is a 3/4" copper coupling - I...

    leaking cam box gasket - and only done 150km!

    Hi all from a very occasional poster in NZ. Ive just finished converting my lovely but gutless '74 1300 4-spd with a warm 1500 5-spd unit (had to buy the whole car for dismantling, was way too rusty to even consider putting on the road) and might put up a post with pics if I get around to it...

    Reason for two different lengths of "dog bone?"

    It just occurred to me that I never really understood why the early models got shorter (137mm) torque rods, tranistion 5-speeds sometimes got the short one, and later 5-speeds got the long (145 mm) rod. Anybody know?

    Valves and Shims - Canned Air wins the day

    Thanks to those who made posts about shim removal - tools, tricks, and, of course, canned air I have the valve shim tool. A small set of pick tools. And a few retractable magnets. The hero of the story is canned air. I was trying to take the shims out with the tools and magnets, but they...

    Bosch Thermo-Time-Switch replacement

    Maybe you already know but in case ... If you are in need of a new Thermo Time Switch for Bosch FI you probably know it is difficult to find the original Bosch # 0280130214 (OEM Fiat # 4393600). I found a PDF Bosch document specifically for the Thermo Time Switch. The Bosch F026T03100 it is...

    Exhaust hanger templates

    These photos were posted many years ago by a member, but I can't remember who it was. Maybe Pete? I don't think they can be used as is, but will require some experimentation to get the proper scale established.

    MicroSquirt Turbo Build

    Well, it's about time I spend some time behind the laptop updating you guys instead of in the garage. Originally I wanted to keep this project a secret, in the spirit of FFO being local this year and wanting to surprise my local chapter with my mischievous behavior. Sorry for lying to all of you...

    Wanted header / Exhaust

    I am looking for a performance header or complete exhaust, with a passenger side exhaust pipe exit. For my 1976 X1/9. I would prefer a none smog setup. Thanks

    Injector wiring harness...

    Well, I may have just come across an issue that may be the root of some of the unexplainable high rpm running issues. The fuel injector harness- both the outer layer of insulation and the sheath on the copper wire itself, are rock solid and brittle. There are many locations where both the feed...

    Lambda Sensor replacement and how to reset the relay to turn off the Ex. Gas Sensor light.

    I got my 1981 Fiat X1/9 out of storage and found the Ex. Gas Sensor light was on all the time. It was telling me to replace the Lambda Sensor on the exhaust manifold. See pic1.jpg. In my 1981 fuel injected car, the sensor could be accessed easily by removing the cardboard cover and metal...

    Remote Oil Filter

    Hi All, Being one who likes to use dino oil on old engines, I change it and the filter every 7,000kms. Given the filter is a turd to change on these cars, I want to fit a remote filter adapter. Anybody done this? Would also be a good pickup point for the oil feed for a snail. Cheers Scott

    Water Pump comparison: MWB vs. eBay vs. Stock

    Hi all-- I recently replaced a failed water pump on my '81 (non-AC) X. Curious about the various offerings, I decided to order a couple of different replacement pumps to see how they stack up. These were the Beck Arnley pump + housing (from eBay) and the pump only from MWB. Some side-by-side...

    Crankshaft Pulley Orientation - Edited to Reflect Crank, not Cam

    I am going to take the camshaft crankshaft pulley off to change the timing and all other belts. Right now it is at TDC. Is the pulley shaft notched or something so that the pulley will be in the correct orientation when you put it back on the shaft? I figured it had to be but I can't tell...

    Fuel sending unit question(s)

    Hi all! I'm about to replace my fuel sending unit with a new one from MWB and am wondering about wires. The MWB unit has a red wire (coming from a little bit higher up on the plastic box at the bottom of the stem/rod) and a brown wire (coming from lower down on the stem/rod). But my X has the...

    Auxiliary Air Hose size

    I want to replace the hose pieces that are red in this pic (stole the picture from an old Ben Louis post - thanks Ben!). I believe it is the auxiliary air hose part no 4446161, or maybe its a breather hose. Does anyone know the ID so maybe I can just go to Napa and get something off the...

    Anyone definitively know the thread pitch for crankshaft pulley end nut?

    The goal is to securely affix an 11" Moroso degree wheel to the end of the crankshaft, outboard of the crank pulley. I think our vehicles' axle hub nut is the same thread pitch as the M20 crankshaft end threads / end nut. I can use the deeper axle hub to thread on to the crank end, then use it...
