Help Identifying Tii Bits and Bobs?

[Guest Anonymous]

After lusting after a 2002 for many years, I finally scored, and found a rust free 72 Inka/Black locally. Under the hood is an early 72 Tii motor! Sadly, it hasn't run in 14 years so it's a bit of a project.

The guy I bought it from wasn't much of a car guy, so couldn't give me much info. So my question...how do I quickly identify of the car has any of the other Tii specific its on it? Like struts/brakes, fuel tank or fuel pump? It was converted over 20 years ago, and they even installed the Tii emmision stickers, so I'd like to know if they did the full monte.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Google came through with some of your answers. Some tii owner(s) has laid them all out on Wikepedia:

Major differences in a nutshell:

tii front brake rotors - 10.08" dia, standard 9.45" dia

longer brake booster and master cylinder

larger rear wheel cylinders

larger wheel bearings and spindles

boxed rear trailing arms

"the clock"

Good luck and have fun.

Sure it's not really a tii? Do a vin search...

Check 2002haus for vin numbers and other valuable info.

On 2002's the VIN plate and engine serial numbers matched from the factory. If the engine VIN is above 2762630, it's a 73 engine.

Thanks for the tips. I have confirmed through the VIN that it's not a Tii. And it has the plastic intake tubes, so it's an early 72 motor (right?). Just want to be able to identify any other converted parts. Thanks for the help, especially Jerry.

All the 72 tiis had plastic intake runners and so did some of the early 73's. I still have the engine from 2762339, a 73 tii which I parted years ago.

Hey Bill,

If those plastic runners are not too dear to you and in good shape.I would be glad to buy and have an extra set.Planning on hanging on to this little 72 tii of mine for many more years.

My Best
