Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Re: Fuel Injection Pump

« Last post by sens on July 18, 2025, 18:58:50 »

Hello!

The FIP is adjusted for a M130 engine now.

It was still a bit rich in the beginning, but after removing a shimm under the Barometric Compensator (half a turn) things got a lot better.

Colortune gives me a more or less blue combustion flame.
No more popping, no hesitation when accelerating, power feels great!

I think the FIP is realy well adjustied and the car drives very well!

Thanks for all the support!

Body, interior, paint, chrome, and cosmetic items / Re: Original Kangol seatbelt mounting points?

« Last post by Alan Smithee on July 18, 2025, 18:29:48 »

I bought the car with non-original carpet and non-original belts incorrectly secured to the parcel shelf screws.

I now have new carpet in, and original Kangol belts that I want to have mounted exactly as the factory did.  For that I am seeking photos of an original car.  I am 90% sure how it should look, but want to be 100%.  I expect correct seatbelt mounting holes are under the carpet since the car is a 1969 US-spec and they were required at that point.

So impressive -- and that Exhaust -- I don't think I have seen that on any other Pagoda. 

Enjoy.

So I take it that you replaced the carpet, now that it is new, and you did not see any holes?
