Put what you are needing in the wanted section, someones probably got parts you need. :thumb:
i need an accelorater cable as ive stuck a twin choke wbere on and my cable is different to the one i need.
I think if it is a standard 1.3SR replacement throttle cable then the only place I found to get a cable was Vauxhall for around £35. Otherwise try a MK1 astra 1300 cable (eBay is the best palce) then cut it and add a suitable nipple etc.

what does the B stand for in the 13sb, i thought carbs ended in V
according to the engine code guide
B = IBC (Inverted Brayton Cycle, in laymens terms, the recurculation of gasses)
I'm sure 1300's were just 13S as well
No they are definitely 13SB. Astra's and Cav's had the 13S engine. From what I have seen though there is very little difference (apart from inlets and carbs etc). I thought the B stood for higher CR from the TV magazine.

fairly sure the first letter after the numbering is the comp. ratio, like 14'N'V or 16'S'V & 16'S'E.
i think jacks right, but i havent a clue what he's talkin about lol
^ it is.
Just checked the Nova engine codes, no 13S; so yeah thats probably an Astra etc engine.

the IBC would probably be better suited to the XE, and it needs branding as ' irritable bowel cyndrome ' guaranteed to crap yourself with one in a nova.
edit : that wasnt funny was it... just ban me allready.
That would have been funny if
a) "syndrome" was indeed spelt with a C. Its not.
b) XE novas were fast. They're not.
Oh dear lol
[edit] Unless you mean crap yourself because you don't know whats going to fall off next lol

dammit, none of you got it, dont worry lol.
anyways, back to mateys throttle cable, wont a 1.4 fit ? they run the same carbs, same attachments ?
Yes a 1300 and 1400 cable is the same item iirc, as we fitted one to novafusion's saloon the other weekend when we fitted a 1400 SR engine:thumb:
Yeah but can you get them new from a factor? If yes lets all have the part #.
guys upullit at york have a astra mk2 with the 13s engine in their breakers yard. everything is there for the engine, and it has a new rad on it too. carb is a 2e3.
weber is buggered so no need now. couldnt even get a cable from vauxhall
Whats wrong with it? You could flog it to me if the proce is right. PM if you want too.
one of the valves is sticky and its jetted up wrong for my car, and just general wear and tear its an old carb, plus its not mine to sell i was borrowing of a mate.
