Ms Poiana

Post by Poiana »

Let me introduce you to Poiana, my first Fiat. Since we're in Fargo, we'll do some work, while we drive her this summer, keeping you all in the loop for sure, I can use the expert advise, and than do what ever major work I find to do over the winter.
I picked it up on Monday and have allready began to really enjoy our new project!
Check her out and let me know what you think.

some interesting mods under the hood, like the custom overflow tank and the manifold shield.

I've had a sputter through out the rpm range, unless wot, been reading everything I could find on here, and got it better, but not cured. Did the double to single point conversion this morning, and lo and behold, sputter be gone. :lol:
The timing belt cover came with the car in a box, so it's only timed be ear right now, but runs awesome in the garage. Expecting rain this morning, so won't be able to test drive it until tomorrow, :(
Now on the the starter engagement issue.
