i would buy a new sj clutch, there not expensive and as the engine is out u might as well change it. you have to fit the sj flywheel and clutch kit to the vit engine, you can use the sj exhaust and manifold, you can use some sj startermotors, you will have to alter the engine mounts, the wiring is pretty much the same, the fuel lines are the same, the clutch cable is the same. do you have any suspension lift |

Well it's a injection engine so the wiring will be a lot different |

the wiring will be the same even though it is single point injection, as you have no lift kit you will have to fit the 413 sump to the 1.6 engine and modify the oil pick up pipe to fit the new sump. hope this helps |

i feel im getting some where now, ive sorted the fuel pipes and attached the electric fuel pump that has now developed a leak
what wire on the ignition should the pump go to?
she was making a horrible noise trying to start her up and then noticed i didnt have a skinny starter motor, now have one on its way.
my last few issues are:
which wire on the ignition should the pump go to?
i need to sort out the leak at the pump or replace it
then possibly time the engine seen as its the 1.3 distributor on the 1.6 engine |
