Manifold gasket kept blowing even after being skimmed and would only last for 1500kms. Now that I replaced the manifold, it seems fine and hopefully not just time being.
I believe that it is fitted with and original carburetor. I experience that the vehicle does surge on pull away.
My Rekord is still badged as a Chevrolet. It belonged to an old lady who drove really little. After 28 years it only has 91 000km on the clock. I could not believe my eyes when I went to inspect the vehicle. It even still had the original blue water pump fitted when I bought it.
The car is mostly still in original condition and the back seat hardly sat on... No not for that!
I have received numerous offers on the car and am wanting to keep it though for sentimental reasons.
Nice that you enjoy this car so much, I own a 1991 S.A. Rekord 200i and like it for all that it is.. (own a few german Rekords as well).
Do you have some info on the 2.3 liter engine? I would like to see some pics of your car too (very curious, I'm an Opel Rekord fan!).
Thanks!
Ps: I found out that it is very hard too find a workshop book on these S.A. Rekords as well on any technical info on the web.
