Re: 2400 Coupe Engine Mounts

You can ask Peter he has spare engine mounts (the metal things) ps@twinpeak.info

To replace them with engine in, you need to hang up the engine. Then it’s not so difficult, it’s a bit tight to reach everything behind the headers.

Re: Ignition switch Issues

Sometimes you can find the electrical insert with terminal 16 to replace a worn one. You also can take it out and clean the contacts. To prevent too much wear a Relais between the ignition lock and the starter can definitely be useful.

Re: Fiat Dino chassis number

Hi all, in this document in German language is mentioned the Dinoplex coming into production from „Organisationsnummer“ 0002466 / 000833 on - not from Fahrgestellnummer on - meaning „Ricambi number“ and not „chassis number“. Another proof showing Fanalones research leading to the right conclusions. ...

Re: FUEL FILTER/REGULATOR LATE 2400 COUPE

To my knowledge: 2400 Coupes do not have a pressure regulator. 2000 Engines have. So your Setup in the engine bay seems to be quite original. As the 2400 have a fuel return line a regulator is not as much needed as in the 2000 without a return line - although many 2400 owners have fitted a Filter Ki...

Re: Fuel choke

As you use the original Dinoplex, at least it looks like, make sure you use the right coil for this unit. On the page Dinoplex.org you find a lot of information including the right coils and their replacement options.

Re: Fuel choke

I think Tobi means the cap where you fill in fuel. If you have installed a fuel filter, it should be easy to check if there is dirt in it. Recommendation is to build in a cheap online, transparent filter, then you can see if dirt is in the tank. You can also check the fuel filters in the carbs, wher...

Re: IGNITION TIMING. HOW TO WITH STROBE LIGHT.

Hi, not exactly what I meant: the ignition advance at idle speed is 10 degrees before TDC. The 10 degree marker is for setting this advance with the strobe light. This is the left marker on the small plate with the two marks/peaks. I hope you have this original plate with the two marks. On the pulle...
