This is probably a good time to remind everyone that leaking fuel lines or carburetors are dangerous. If you can smell gas fumes in your engine compartment your car can catch fire.

Since this car is a 1966 230, it has the dual two barrel Zenith cars, not any kind of SOLEX, at least that's what it came with. It does NOT have the 4 bbl Solex either, that's an M110 carb not an M180 carb.

As many new hobbyists as there are that seem to be attracted (understandably) to these old cars it's amazing there aren't more fires from old fuel systems and pre-hacked wiring.
There probly ought to be a sticky about it.

The rest of the repairs just look like replacing parts, which could be a few dollars, polishing, painting, and a lot of elbow grease. I doubt it did any damage to the core part of the engine. |

I have parts for sale if you need
I have Solex carbs (single barrel), w/ matching air filter the matching intake and exhaust manifolds (intake is aluminum and the burned one on the car may not hold vacuum) and some of the throttle and choke linkage that came off of my 250. I believe that was the correct set up for a 230. Not sure why it was on my car (which I have a cracked original 2 barrel carb manifold and 1 zenith carb ;-)), but I have since dropped the $$$ with a JAM carb kit. The Solex carbs did leak, so they would need a rebuild kit to ensure the same fireball scenario didn't happen again. They aren't perfect and are priced accordingly in the parts section.
So, wiring harness, carb rebuild kit and used carbs and manifold, radiator, hoses, distributor, wires&plugs, battery, new belts, sand and paint. Am I missing anything? |
