I need to do some work on my 1970 1600 and in case I can't find a manual (or
facsimile thereof), I pose these questions:
- What are the major differences between the 1600 and 1602 (my mechanic
verified that the car has parts, especially brake bits, from both models) ?
- Can I fit a turn indicator that will click off after turning a corner ?
- Can I turn off the annoying (and battery flattening) "safety feature" that
leaves the right side lights on when the ignition key is removed ?
- Is there a way to upgrade the headlights to something newer and brighter ?
- Will a later model EFI manifold bolt on to the existing engine without
major hassles (I would prefer aftermarket EFI computer, loom & sensors to
factory equivalents)? What benefits would be gained?
- Is it reasonable to replace the worn factory springs with lowered springs
having a higher rate ? I have read that this reduces the "streetability" of
'02s, does the same go for 1600's ?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
