1.7 with single bike carb?

[classicswede]

The engine is the B20F from a 400 series. The manifold is from an early 440 injection but I'm sure I've seen some renaults with a manifold that looks quite close.

If you are phoneing scrappies ask for the manifold with a twin choke throttle. This manifold is also ideal for turbo conversions.

On 400's they are hard as anything to find, someone mentioned to me there are on renaults a while ago, but don't think I've looked since! Mine came from a J plate Will, so around '91 ish

or you coulddo what I did when my carb packed in





That is a throttle body off a k jet b23 with adaptor plates onto the carb manifold.

Cheers chaps,

that looks very interesting dai, looked at a what i think was B18EP looked like the right sort of thing, and that was it, but the price was hefty he wanted 600pounds.... stuff that.

1 thing is i have one of these on my drive with 90somthing thausand miles on the clock.

also are we sure 300's handel better than these? the suspensions pritty stiff.

Cheers

That would would drop in. The only issue is that one is a single point injection and I'm not sure the injection unit would clear the bonnet.

Is the one you have multi point?

Dai,

Is that a singlepoint injection you bolted onto the B17 engine?
If so, could you give some more info, e.g. was it simple bolt-on or did stuff have to be modified? And you talked about adaptor plates...
I am very interested, as my carb is not as pretty as it should've been...

[germ]

dai, its the spi.. but it doesent seem any higher than the carb filter housing.

Cheers
