    Yeah I know that Guys.

    What I want to know is this:

    The engine is running without a computer, just kjet, not ke-jet.
    Obviously it does not have a vacuum or mechanical advance from the dissy. Does this matter? Why?

    If it does matter, can I butcher a polo or similar dissy that has mechanical advance and whack it on.

    I want to know this, not just for me, but for others out there running 16vs on basic kjet systems. You know who you are.........

    The only symptoms so far seem to be a lumpy idle, which could be a cold start reg or something anyway. I drove the car back 3 feet today.
    Wahoo, but I still need a fan and an alternator bracket and some other bits. Its going for a blatt round the block very soon though. Sounds hectic when you free rev it!

    ""Yes it does matter, the computer and knockbox in the CIS-E set up does the engine timing chore, advancing the timing point when engine speed increases etc.. For use with a CIS Basic set up you will need a saab distributor with the vacuum advance mechanism in it, [ from my text archive...16V dist. Vac advance type, use SAAB, 900 8Valve , 1982 - 1985.] ""


    If it does matter, can I butcher a polo or similar dissy that has mechanical advance and whack it on.

    ""Dunno, anythings possible i guess..:roll:""

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    I have a saab dissy, but it fouls on the Master cylinder. Can I raise the bottle up with some hose or something?

    just a thought, why don't you unbolt the booster and kick it from behind there. Its a but further back from the dizzy and you might just get enough clearance.

    Get a 1500/S Bug/Type 3 brake resovoir and mount it on the strut tower an connect it with some hose, works for all the 16v conversions that we do.

    Nice. What do you connect at the MC end? a connector, or just jam some hose in?

    little right angle connectors.
    Come on use some imagination.
    By them at Repco Bursons sort of place.
    Beetles or Kombis have them but I won't touch anything aircooled.
    Mk3 abs have little green ones I've used before too and the Golf resevoir.and a bit of hose.Too easy :roll:

    Yeah sounds good. All I need now is a saab dissy. The annoying thing is that I have one somewhere. I have looked for ages, but I cant find the damn thing.
