Hello from new Magnum owner

Postby johnmac » Mon Jul 21, 2014 5:34 pm

Hi All, I'm new to the forum. I just acquired a 1974 Magnum and although I've had the carb reconditioned, but it's on its last legs. Does anyone happen to know where I might find a replacement carb or one that is compatible? Many thanks, John

I think I saw a reconditioned one on eBay earlier for around £150.

2.3 Viva carb: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121386125118

The guy says he has for other models too. Hope that helps somewhat...

Hello and welcome. Whats the reg number of your car, got any photos. Re. the carb, is yours a 2.3 or 1.8 Magnum? If you join the owners club you will get access to spares, magazine and the rest of the this forum.

Thanks Peter, I think I just worked out how to attach a photo! RJN748M

She's a 1.8L Magnum and in great working order apart from a very dodgy carb. Looking forward to hopefully getting her back on the road.

I'm going to join the owners club too.

Cheers,
John

Wow, it's a small world Carl! You'll be pleased to hear she is still in good nick, well once I get the carb sorted. I've got all the original paperwork too. Fascinating reading!
