  1. Yes, I used that chart to determine the age of my engine block (HY, therefore 1987), but you're right, that doesn't mean you assume the head, or any other parts of the powertrain, are the same age or from the same donor vehicle.

  2. My engine is also a 1987 2.0L 205 block Pinto, with a definite "I" stamped on the head. The inlet ports are round (not egg shaped like on the injection heads) so I choose to assume it's leaded and add Castrol Valvemaster to the fuel (1 ml per litre of fuel).

  3. I set the camber when fitting the wishbone upgrade kit, so the ball joints had never been pulled up fully tight until after I'd got the camber set. I could, therefore, just pull the stub out the top of the dummy strut (maybe just a tap under the top wishbone with a rubber mallet to free it, I can't remember).

  4. Yes it will definitely fit a 1600 pinto. I'll check the size/weight and look at postage cost.

     

    Just checked, it's the best part of 3kg, so £10 should cover postage costs. 

  5. Nice clean Pinto inlet manifold suitable for Weber 38 or 32/36 downdraught carbs (and possibly other Weber dual barrel downdraught design 🤔). Coventry, collection preferred (West Mids area club meet is good) but can post if necessary at cost (uk only ). £25

  6. We didn't join in with the panic buying and have been running around with low fuel warnings for a couple of days, but today I've managed to get fuel without having to queue. The BP station I used was limiting the quantity however, so I put 10 litres in a jerrycan to transfer to the kit and the rest went into the tank of the tintop I was in, up to their max £35 allowed. So, all else being well, I should be at the meet Wednesday, in the kit. 👍🤞
