GT engine - need picture

Featured Replies

I'm doing a GT conversion and I'm trying to find out where everything plugs in.

this is my first conversion and I'm struggling quite a bit.

can someone kindly post up some pictures of a 1.3 GT please.

if availible can they be fairly large and if anyone has it can they scan or take a picture of the engine shot in the haynes manuel.

:D

thank you very much.

cheers man.

yeah i have the mk2 polo haynes manual but the engines cant be compared and it doesnt help that much.

even worse i have a second mk2 breadvan which I'm using as a temporary drive (for whenever this one is done)

and that doesnt look at all like the 1L i took out of this breadvan!

its jokes.

cheers for the support mate.

you just want pictures of the plugs in situ?

Looks like your engine might be the NZ 1.3 MPI, GT's dont have the vacuum advance on the distributor.
