I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and EFi injectors clean as new!
we make 1600 cc engine for x 1/9.from 80 to 170 cv,carburettor or jenvey injection.2007-2008- italian cross championship winners.avalaible also for hillclimb races.
awesome please post more updated footage these cars are so cool I used to own one I sold it for way too cheap. now that I am older and have more money to throw away this would have been an awesome project car
Good video...The tach running counter would drive me nuts..it's like being in the friggin twilight zone....is it common for owners of these cars to change the tach so it runs clockwise?
thats the first time ive ever even heard of a counterclockwise tach! im dumbfounded! nice car...but whats the ringing noise, a door sensor? or am i just a dumb newb?
Your car sounds like a Ferrari V8 to me, like a mondial.

@NesteHukka2
The gauge you probably mean is the oil temperature gauge.

I like the rev counter running anti-clockwise. Like in a poor man's Maserati :) It's a standard feature in X1/9 Fiats from 1980 onwards.

Early X1/9s had "regular" tachs, however, later 1.5L X1/9s had this one.. (some '79s that I've seen have the clockwise tachs)

Hi myron! It's a X1/9 Five Speed camshaft with a higher lift and longer duration. I'm planning some upgrades so I'll keep you guys posted.
