You probably wired the starter wrong.

I agree, this is probably what's wrong. i just went through this on my car since I did an engine swap. You could try turning the key on then arcing the start ...

I tried it, but the car will not run, or barely. I forgot to metnion that when they sent me mine it had a round grommet, and I need a square one (which I fabricated...but still....)I think Pertronix ...

Thanks for figuring all this out. I never even tried, figuring it was a lost cause. However, I may try the socket method with the ring...as I do have carbon deposits under the cap, and can't quite g ...

Thanks guys. I opted not to take the hood off because in the manuals it shows the procedure being done without removing the hood. However, I have to agree that it would have been easier to gain need ...

Well, I'm proud to say I have now changed an engine out of an '02...without removing the tranny or taking the hood off! A big thanks to the FAQ, as the Forum Search helped a lot with lots of differen ...

I've been through the exact same dilemma, same dizzy, same conflicting pertronix numbers. So they sent me the "marine" one, which was labeled 2842 on the box, but the unit says 1847...go figure. I h ...

I believe the washer relay is on the firewall, close to the coil. It's a small cylinder shaped unit.

YES! It's a perfect first car...though as we all know addicting. I bought my first one at age 16, and am now on my fourth at age 36. But my father taught me to drive the old VW squareback when I wa ...

I just had to share this little anecdote. Last night my friend and I were removing the engine from my '71 02, just moments away from getting it out, but it just wouldn't fully seperate from the tranny ...

Thanks for the info guys. Do you know what the numbers in a circle represent on the block?

If the pad behind the starter doesn't have a clear stamping on it,
I bet it's a factory rebuild or replacement.

What series (121, E12, E21, 1.8) is the head?

With rebuilds, it's always a crapsh ...

Hey all,
I recently bought a used engine from 02 Salvage, and I'm trying to figure out what year it is. I've tried searching the forums but haven't found the answers I'm looking for. The head ...

what happened? last time I drove your car, it felt good. I don't have anything in my "inventory" engine wise, give me a call if you might need anything else.

Thanks Michael. I'm not sure what ha ...

The time has come for a replacement engine. I'm strongly considering buying one of 02 Salvage's $695 engines, as I don't have thousands to spend. Has anyone bought an engine from them? Or, does any ...

Does anyone have a recomendation for a supplier?
thanks,
Ben

Rob,
I think I would need to read the whole story before figuring what to draw. BTW, who is Superpants?? I would describe my style as illustrative I suppose. Here's a couple of drawings. Unfo ...

I'd be interested in doing some drawings for you, though I'm not really a "professional"...I'm pretty decent with a pencil or with ink.

Yea, the O-ring...thanks, I'll get a new one(or two)and try not to bungle it getting it on.

Does anyone have a method for removing and/or replacing the rubber bushing on the dizzy shaft? I've already broken one trying to get it out with a small screwdriver.
Thanks,
Ben

Nice work! I'm not a pro, but I posted these a while back.

The pain...but at least you're okay. I had a similar experience when I was 16. I bought my first car, a '70 2002 for $850, and a few months later a big ass truck lost its brakes and slammed my car. ...

I think that's a great idea and that you should buy another one now, while they're still affordable. Plus, you'll have more time to improve upon them, and buy parts, which are costing more and more a ...

Nice Michael! I spy a sweet Alfa Giulia Spyder (my favorite Alfa) behind the Renault. Oh, to drive through Provence in a tasty little sports car...what a fantasy.

Haven't the oil companies been posting record profits lately?? On a similar note, does anyone know how much oil is being sold in Euros versus how much in U.S. dollars?

Benz, if you mean the car is one and the same as the overhead that Kfunk posted, I doubt that is possible.
My shots were taken 4 days ago, and the one KFunk posted is obviously at a recent councours ...

Man, that is so sweet. What a thrill to see those cars. The HS looks the same in both photos except the roof appears tan on the overhead shot but looks black in the recent photo. But how many would ...

Anyone know why the average for a '71 02 is ~13K and a '71 tii is ~9K? Seems odd.

I was under the impression Tii's didn't come out til '72, so it must be a glitch on their end...kind of like their ...

$350-400 is probably a bit high, even though they are nice seats. IMHO, if you can get $300 you've done pretty well, might have to settle for a bit less say $200-250, or maybe barter something.
Good ...

I have one of these and they are fantastic. They dry out real quick but keep the car dry in heavy weather. http://www.autoanything.com/car-covers/60A1009A0A0A2630483.aspx
