Or use Mega Jolt,much better than a dizzy.

Does MJ still use edis?
if so, then I'd go for megasquirt and use real coilpack :)

They did make a 1600 carb engine - the 16sv. It ran a pierburg 2e3 and black slot drive distributor. If I remember correctly the cam is same as 1300.

Was this 16sv lump fitted to the Nova?

[mowgli]

no, mk3 cav & mk2 astra i believe

[Blackie_No1]

Is it a small block lump?

I thought the only small block fitted to the mk3 xav was the 1.4 fitted to the ore facelift cavvies? I owned one said beast!! Lol

[mowgli]
