Rekord-C und Commodore-A Forum

The "Spar Rekord" was also available here in Finland and was called Rekord Champion. I took the instrument panel, door and rear side panels and the rear seat from one to use in my Commodore. The door and rear side panels were used in the factory 2D limo "race version" Commodores too.

Welding brackets on an axle is not a problem for a competent welder as long as the heat is under control so that the axle tubes won't warp.

Saab 900 ?, looks more like a 96.

But unfortunately the truth very often is that what the engine needs is a re bore and new oversize pistons.

Nothing, it is a normal 20S head with four cam bearings and a groove in the first bearing.

I had planned to use a 390CFM Holley 4bbl on a 30H intake for my Commodore but I finally chose to use a pair of Weber 38ADL's instead. A Holley doesn't fit plug & play since the bolt patterns are different, but fitting is possible with a modified spreadbore to squarebore adapter. https://goo.gl/imag...

Read Hot Rods post above again, there is no kick down cable, the cable is a Throttle Valve cable that must be adjusted properly to avoid burning the transmission. You must fabricate a bracket for the Solex carb to mount the TV-valve cable. You can use the drive shaft from a manual or a TH-180 as a b...

I think he is talking about the leaning tower of power, or said in other words, swapping the 170CID slant six in his Plymouth to a 225CID.

My Commodore weighs 1175kg without a driver and a nearly empty tank. @Brender PS is always PS, it doesn't matter if it is a carbureted, fuel injected, supercharged or even a diesel engine, what matters is the ratios of the transmission and the rear axle. @Joan The Swedes use something called service...

It is possible to bore an 88mm 17 block to the 93mm 19 dimension, but it is not a very good idea as the cylinder walls get real thin and lose their roundness when they heat up. I had a -68 17S Olympia A coupe a long time ago that some previous owner had bored to 93mm and I remember that the oil cons...

Of course we need a kalender 2019 !

There are also the usual oversizes 88,5mm and 89mm, or you could use std 88,8mm pistons from a C26NE, but you need the connecting rods too as the compression height is different.

It should be possible to bore it to 88mm and use std 17S pistons.

The carbureted exhaust manifolds have heat ports that lead exhaust gases in the intake manifold for heating, while there are no such things in the fuel injection exhaust manifolds. 004 (2).JPG Picture of the heat ports in the intake manifold. It is possible to use a fuel injection exhaust manifold w...

Yes,normally when there is fuel in the carb, but if the car stands a few days and the fuel has evaporated from the float chamber, you can choke as much as you want until the fuel pump fills the float chamber. The culprit is our modern gasoline which is oxygenated and formulated differently than the ...
