Im glad I watched, couldn't find a place to mount my high pressure pump lower than the tank and I saw how this one was mounted. Had 2 73 Capri's in the 80s. Wish I had one now that I know how to build engines / horsepower
Awesome ! Nice one mate ! Theres nothing better than hearing an engine coming back to life ! I have a black 86 special too on my channel MEC-TEC along with others if you fancy a look 👍👍👍
Hello pal , lovely 2.8 capri , only watched a couple of minutes I’ll watch later when I can sit down and relax and enjoy :D Hope more videos be coming soon And I see a post of this on Facebook other day u asking if anyone knows anything about the car :) I also own a 2.8 turbo I’ve just got been sitting over 30 years that’s on my channel with other projects aswell 😂😂😂😂
This is great and I can't wait to see future videos, but please get a wireless microphone to clip onto yourself so we can hear you talking! (some parts when you are far from camera, can hardly hear you). Would make a world of difference to your videos :)
When it was trying to start when cutting out, that would be the cold start valve only. You will prob find the metering head piston is stuck or sticky. Try taking off the air pipes and manually lifting the arm up and down to clear it.
The idea of people knowingly leaving cars outside that seem perfectly good and worth large amounts of money seems unbelievable. It may be an aspect of dementia that no one has really investigated properly.
This one was taken off the road in 2001 and has been through at least 2 changes of owner since, it was dry stored for most of this time, it had a couple of months outside immediately before I got it due to the storage being vandalised, then a month outside when I got it before I had indoor space available. I think it would have been a lot worse if it had been outside throughout
Thanks! I have no doubt, there will be a lot of headaches along the way but I’d rather go through everything than buy one for 3 or 4 times the price and still not know what’s been sorted properly or otherwise.
My kind of ecu - a bank of 7 fuses! Oh we were blessed.

The old fuel in that pump. Ive never seen anything like it!
From factory, the fuel pump should only run on engine cranking and running. Safety device.
Good luck with the K-Jet system, willing to bet that gives you some headaches after being off road so long

@@tryingstuffout1 yeah totally agree, if you do need any K-Jet bits drop me a message, I've got a stash of metering heads, WURs, air valves etc
Awesome, thanks, I may well be in touch 👍
The resurrection shuffle……luv it so much
Nice work! keep it up
Looking forward to this project,but please try to upload to carry on with project unlike some other on RUclips’s that don’t🙏🙏
