Hello! Considering your experience with 99 Turbos, do you prefer injection with your 99 B-engine or carburetion? That is, if you look past your mild indignation towards Strombergs ;)
@alexandernicholas2449 ай бұрын
That is my Turbo. I sold it in 1991 after 5 years of ownership. It’s rare due to the colour and I put the Aztec wheels on because it had the horrible metric rims/ tyres on it. I’m floored because I’ve looked for it for ages and it’s now in the UK. WTF.

To get lower co on a stromberg you just adjust the hight of the needle :) i am running 9.0% on my daily and just adjust the needle at the MOT :) the carb on my daily has done 365000 miles without a rebuild. It is worn but does 0.3 co if you adjust the needlescrew.

I had a white1976 99 turbo LHD in Germany when I was in the forces. Drove it to what was then Yugoslavia in 1978 and '79. Definitely the best and most comfortable car I have ever owned and I had another 7 SAABs after that one. I wish I could buy a set of those aero wheels nowadays.

A 1976 99 will have the B20 engine so this won't be an issue with yours. They only shrunk the servo from 1982 onwards when the H engine was introduced it seems

Enjoying this series so far, also looking for a 99 to call my own. Do they all rust this badly? And what plans if any do you have for preventing future rust? Any car I get would be a summer driver only but still I'd probably try and get rust primer on all inside surfaces, and 2k epoxy primer on all external surfaces that get refinished, and a regiment of underbody coating every year, like Dinitrol ML.

I think you shouldn't cover the wheel arch edges with plastic. It is a perfect foundation for moisture and dirt to collect. You will have much better success in keeping it clean and dry without that crap on.
@britishswedishresto9577 Жыл бұрын
For the sake of originality they'll be having the plastic trims put back on but with plenty of waxoyl behind. Also on a classic, people are generally much more conscious about keeping them clean
@VNAV_PTH Жыл бұрын
@British & Swedish Resto I understand. If I remember correctly the lower small plastic parts are riveted to the arch, but I don't remember if the larger curved plastic are press fitted?
@1873Winchester Жыл бұрын
You should fill the plastic trim with vaseline and it should be taken off and cleaned and new vaseline added on a yearly basis. In Finland there is a company that makes an aftermarket trim from PVC that is easier to install and remove, sold by the meter.
