Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Yes and No. First of all did you connect your tacho to the coil - terminal or to the grey tacho signal wire from the MSD? Most likely (but this is based on what i have heard and read but not investigated myself) is that the original tacho requires a 12V square wave signal generated by the Dinoplex i...

I'm working on a solution to make it as easy as possible to convert the dinoplexes with MSD (programmable) internals. This option will have all the benefits of new electronics like accepting both points setup as electronic triggers while at the same time keeping the stock CD type of ignition. Workin...

WOW...... really feel for you!

Hi Peter, They are €795,-. That is for a complete dinoplex case with switch body, switch, gasket, new Warning/Caution lables, plastic 3d printed feed through for the wires etc. etc. I have limited stock and it's just something i make in my free hours beside my regular job. It's quite labor intensive...

I totally get what you mean. I also have a ...

Please don't decide to quickly.
If you have enough place, put it away for a while and let the negative feeling fade away a bit before taking a decision.
But that's just my thought....

I think you are right about that, these are important modifications. But in this case i think the timing chain tensioner was not the one to blame. It seems like it is the bearing in the front cover from the drive gear that has disintegrated. Could just be bearing wear. Question would be what made th...

Wow, looks like the roller bearing of the left cam drive gear just totally disintegrated causing the shaft to get out of line. And that caused the gear to jump until the piston hit your valves. Makes me very sad to see this, such a nice and original engine and car. But i'm sure these guys in Holland...

Hi Dan, As you might know here in the Netherlands there is a company that is currently rebuilding 9 Dino motors, and i can only say that they do a really good job. They know the engines inside out and they threat these engines like they are working on a swiss watch. If you decide to send your engine...
