Thank you so much everyone

Hey Guys
Can someone let me know what the original part number for the distributor on an 87 excel manual.
Also what a direct drop in for an electronic ignition system. I tried getting one from the UK but have just been told they can’t supply the part.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers Andy, certainly would be happy with 250, my car looks super quick on the driveway, so even 210 would feel so different.

I’ll try and call Mike

The problem of Dellorts dripping fuel onto the dissy and so forth, are effectively solved by the turbo. There are situations where the dellorts can get too much fuel and it runs through to the airbox and as that's not as precisely sealed as necessary to hold fuel, the fuel then drips, but with a tu...

Fuel injection largely overcomes the problems of fuel sloshing around but the other problem is associated with the heat in the turbo itself. Where are you thinking of putting it? Pete Haven’t really thought it through, I just wanted to firstly see if there is a solution. I have tried to contact lot...

Firstly I'd like to apologise for my ignorance on this, but I'd like to clarify something. I have read that there is a possibility of engine bay fires in the excel when a turbo is installed. Is that still an issue if the dellortos are replaced with Fuel Injection? Thanks , Kemal

I've tried ordering the Hella part number on amazon and its NLA and nowhere on ebay either. Alloy radiator manufacturers can't do them (if you understand condensers, you'd know wh...

Thanks everyone. We had some massive downfalls over the last week and my car was leaking like a sieve. It’s very likely the wet relay.

Hey Guys,
I have an issue with my 87 Excel. When ignition off, lights remain in the down position but come on. The light switch is also off.
Any ideas?

Hi Kemal,
Judging by Carsales advertisements and posts on this forum I would guess about 12. Could be more but I would be surprised if more than 20.

Thanks Glenn, 20 doesn't seem like many, having said that I can't say I have ever seen one on the road

Hi members
Just wondering how many excels made their way to our fun island and where they are located.

If you add your location and car to your profile details, it will make it easier for others to find you!

Cheers, Richard

Thanks Richard, I have finally done that
