I'm a new Fiat 500 owner and a new member. I recently purchased a 1965 500f with the following description for the motor: 'has been upgraded with 950cc work from Panda heads and 84mm pistons with sport cam and 4 speed synchro trans of the Fiat 126. It also has a larger 80mm exhaust and 2 barrel carb with Panda intake and multispark ignition.'
Upon getting the car home and driving it some and looking closer at her, I want to really go over the motor and electrical systems. I am at the point of trying to identify what the heck I need to order as far as gaskets and such for the motor and need some help.
Here are my main questions:
1) The motor has the following stamped on the block by the fuel pump:
Fiat126a.000 and 7093933 under that. Would this tell me what motor gasket kit I would need or is there information still missing?
2) Would the motor kit that matches the bottom end have most of the gaskets and seals for the rocker cover and push rod tubes despite the Panda head? I have a tube that is leaking oil at the base fairly bad.
3) Mr. fait claims that they don't have a Weber 30DGF gasket or rebuild kit. Anybody know who might supply this in the states?
4) What would the MSD multispark box be providing in this setup and could it be doing more bad than good as MSD does not list 2 cyl as an option with this box.
I appreciate any help identifying and evaluating my motor setup and look forward to asking tons more questions.
Thanks!
Phil
