View Advert 1969 Mk2 Cortina 1300 DL 2 door Swedish import I bought this nearly 4 years ago, as a bit of wreck . Its a Swedish Import LHD. I have over the years, recommissioned it, and registered it with a view to building it in a similar style to the MK1 Cortina that I built. Convert to RHD, convert to rack and pinion steering , re power with a Mazda engine and 5 speed etc. Unfortunately with my other projects, I don't think I'm going to be able to do that now, so its got to go. I'd rather it went to a Ford fanatic if possible, hence advertising it on here first , before eBay or Car and Classic. Being a Swedish import it comes with dual circuit servo brakes, and a steering lock, and opening quarter lights. The shell is very good in all the right places, but does have rust in the rear valence, both sides of the boot, and down the edge of the front wing. It looks like it had been rust treated on the underside, and in the closed sections with something like Zibart. Its had a terrible repair to the n/s/r, but looking inside the boot there is little damage. I have some Swedish history , and loads of receipts from what I spent, going though the car to make it reliable and safe. New tyres, new brakes, battery , 2 inch stainless exhaust, plus hundreds spent on lots of parts. Its a 1969 series 2 car, everything works, even down to the interior light, its speedo is showing the equivalent of 39,000 miles. It would make a great build for someone, and a lot cheaper , and much less rusty than an Escort. £5995 Advertiser johnny boy Date 06/23/2024 Price 7,995.00 GBP Category Cars For Sale

Can anyone recommend a supplier ? I'm looking for a pair of front wing , lower repair panels. Thanks Johnny

O rings also work very well.

Nice find

Both, new sensor fixed the old Nodiz that was fussy, only liking a very small gap, but I bought a new Nodiz anyway, latest tech, and certainly better/smoother advance curve settings. not so fussy with the crank sensor gap

The Old Nodiz started to cut out again, I checked all the wiring , and rewired down to the crank sensor. It kept loosing sync again, getting progressively worse. So I bought a new one, which is an updated version, works great, and has a smoother advance curve. Before I fitted the new one, I did manage to get the old one working again. It seems the old one is much more sensitive to the crank sensor gap.

Great, very interesting work, keep it up

I fitted the points replacement kit to the FoMoCo distributor in my MK1 Cortina , when I was running a 1600 crossflow, once the timing was set, all good. I fitted the complete kit as your picture, but a vac distributor to my MK2 Escort 1600 Sport crossflow. No problems with that either. I'd fit the points replacement to any classic every time

The distance between the pedal pivot to the cable connection, at the pedal needs to be longer , to get the required pull travel on the cable at the carb end. so you need to extend the pedal end, try 40mm see how that works.

Just replaced the weedy U bolt plates with some heavy duty one's , Also gone to 12mm capri u bolts.
