engine and drivetrain 74 Tii Engine Question

[Foxy]

I just picked up this 74 tii and im unfamiliar with these engine but I know something needs to go here.  It appears as though it is the air intake? i recently saw someone running a CAI from there, where could I purchase one of those?  This part also was in a box that came with the car, where would it go?

That extra part is a Weber 2 barrel downdraft carburetor.  The tii has a fuel injection system.  The carb and fuel injection system are mutually exclusive.  In other words, it's not of much use to you unless you convert your motor to carburetion.

 

Yes, the air intake goes on open cylinder.  You could use a K&N air filter, but you'll catch all sorts of flack on this forum for doing so.  To each his own.

 

I'm curious about your avatar photo.  It appears to be a dual cam head.  Do you have one of those on your car?  If so, it's total crap.  I'll offer you a real tii head in exchange for that crappy dual cam head ;-)

That sir, would be an m42 without its valve cover (:

Not a Tii.  Tii motor though..

 

Standard booster combined with the lack of stock air filter mounts on the inner fender tells me its a swap.

What makes you say that?

[williamggruff]

Just kidding about the head, by the way.  If it had actually been a dual cam head on an M10 block, it would likely have been worth far more than the rest of your car.

 

If your tii is currently running well, you're laughing.  If not, there are a few guides you'll want to study in order to start sorting out running issues.  One of them is the tii tuning manual, which you can find here: http://www.2002tii.org/kb/59

 

Welcome aboard!

Yep, not a Tii chassis. No air cleaner mounts and it has the "snorkel" although the latter could be because it has had a nose replacement at some time.  The K&N filter is the easy fix for the lack of an air cleaner.

Here's a tii air filter housing on eBay.

Your car is lacking the two welded-on brackets that extend from the driver's side inner fender and support the housing. I also suspect that the standard (non-tii) brake booster on your car would interfere with the stock air filter housing if you added the welded-on brackets. As has been said, the K&N is a good answer given your car's facts, at least short term.

Here is an original owner (Mike DiAndrea), previously restored (not original paint) 74tii.

Hope you didn't pay tii prices...

jgerock,

 

original you say ??  HMMM, I've only got 3 of those round relay thingies near the master cylinder.  I do not have the relay directly adjacent to the master cylinder.  There is space on the bracket, but no relay installed.

 

On the right side front I see 2 rubber hoses to the right of the radiator, I don't have those hoses.  Is your 4th relay perhaps related to whatever those attach to ??

 

And no way is your config truly original unless you've still got some of the original dirt (which I know I do).  Yours is magnificently too clean !! 

 

Cheers,

 

Carl

Carl - not my car.  Mike DiAndrea owns that beautiful tii. He is the original owner just like you.

I think Top End Performance sells a cone filter thingy for a tii, fwiw.

The extra relay, 99 out of a hundred times, is for fog or driving lights.

Here's my '76's relay rack (the left-most relay is for my fog-lamps, added after new-car delivery).
