1966 404 Coupé Injection Restoration

2 minute(s) of a 255 minute read

No actual work has been done on the 404C for a couple of days but today I ordered:

1. a new old stock camshaft (specific to the KF2 Injection engine) from Loewendoctor in Germany;
2. a set of 8 new lifters from Alvéas in France;
3. a timing chain tensioner also from Alvéas.

The cam was very expensive but I think a new old stock cam will be better than any regrind.

A few weeks earlier I ordered new navy blue lap belts for the car, which should be here really soon.

And a bit after that, some SEV Marchal spark plugs in NOS for the KF2 Injection engine is on its way from Italy.

I hope that's the last of the new parts I will need to get the engine back in shape.  I expect to get both in the next few weeks.

I thought I'd treat the engine to a set of period spark plugs.  This set came from Italy, S.E.V. Marchal 35HS.

Yes, I have 8 NGK BP7ES on the way and I'll use those and save these for the historical value.

Painted the mirror body and mounted it today.
