for those of you that fabricate your own intakes. What do you all do about the water hook up on the old intake.

What are you expecting from your 1.4 once everything is done? Are you looking to perform as much as a stock modern 4 cyl. car? Are you just looking for some cheap upgrades? What are you expecting as a result?

I would say like rad15E. It happens that I have both these parts for sale!  I got the stock intake and a NEW Holley original chevette carb. Make me a honest offer and we will arrange something for the shipping, 50/50 if the price is descent. Olivier_Roy9@hotmail.com |

The only thing I would like is the car to hold 60 mph. on the highway as of now it will not,... there many 1.6 cars around here, I did not know that it would interchange!with a 1.6 is the cam any better for performance than the stock one in the 1.4 ?? I figured calf. cars had different emissions than the outher states I thing  this car has all the aerodynamics of a brick and has to work to keep speed over 45 mph.in 4th |

get rid of all emissions,and if you you don't have a heater block all the water ports in the water pump and intake,i wouldn't be surprised if you don't have a few other problems because these little motors will maintain 60 mph at ease--it being a 1.4 it probally has the 151 head a small aftermarket cam with good fuel and air will really help,,what ratio is you rearend gear

I guess I'll open the exhaust first . I remember a long time ago in HOT ROD magazine there was an article that showed using balled and pressed aluminum foil to block the water passage in an intake in a V8 do i remember correctly ?where can I get a better cam?? as a 2bbl. intake, would that realy help? port and pollish would be a good winter project A new carb set up better than i did I KNOW would help ..Thank You for your help Dan

if you don't want to go with a header some of the vettes came with a duel downpipe manifold,its a bolt on for your motor and a good way to open things up without a lot of mods
