What wire did you connect the electric fuel pump to

I’m going through this right now. Can’t get my a112 abarth to start. I think it’s the timing after watching this

I have a a112 abarth. Similar engine. Can’t get it to start and it’s driving me crazy. It wants to start you can’t hear it fire but it won’t idle on it own. Don’t know if it’s a timing issue or a carb issue

Can you advise where and how you put in the wool insulation ?

I didn't know fiat made a van till I saw an Indiana Jones movie

Gianluca Ticci driving a 2-litre NA Fiat X1/9 beat Nikolay Zlatkov in an Audi Quattro S1 Pike's Peak Evo, and Milan Bubnic in a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo, in this video: ua-cam.com/video/_HXJV2JTsd0/v-deo.htmlsi=6X2Zo6OviZQdO1Mg

You definitely need to earn how to paint as you reassemble these parts. Lots of effort just to put parts that will rust quickly.

Doesn't work with a vast majority of steering boxes as worm and rollers are worn .

Well enjoy it I suppose but some real butcher job decisions... Putting green carpet... Really?. And that purse /ridiculous stereo 🤦. And the dash... When young people don't appreciate a classic car

I like the stock sound much better. Not a fan of the previous system.

I miss my 1970 Fiat 850 spider. I owned 4 of them. 2 of them were parts cars.

What a great video well done champ perseveres that's a great car maybe a coat of paint later on cheers

What a great episode!! You deserve a lot more subscribers great videos, you're a great resource! Thank you!

When you opened up the back to see why it wouldn’t start, I thought it was because the distributor cap was off. Ha ha- you were just pointing out the points. 😂

Yogi-mama keeps saying “square back” every time you say wagon. 😂

Got to keep all those OG parts Aloha, VWADIC 😎🤙

My first car was a 72 850 Spyder, bought in HS, sold it a few years later to help with college expenses, $400 and 21K miles. {sigh} I'm sad now.

Hi Marshall , more rpm should be more mph = check the clutch slip

Hi Marshall....I'm very late to this video but is this the same principal as would be done on the X1/9? (I have a late '87 Bertone X1/9). I'm looking to do the brown wire mod on that but I'm getting a little confused. I'm reading some accounts that adding a 2nd wire from the positive terminal on the battery to a spare positive spade connector on the fuse box splits the load. I have also read about the same cable passing through to the steering column and splicing into the larger brown cable either before or after the connector under the ignition switch. Did you do this mod on the X1/9?....I understand it can take the load off the switches and reduce the resistance thus improving wiper speeds, electric window speeds etc.

Nice buddy, happy for you

Love these old beauties - especially the ingenuity and early innovation. This is a spectacular car (the chrome probably weighs almost as much as the X1/9 😂) and in excellent condition. Halfway through the video I thought “this may be the shortest project ever - we’re gonna change the oil and call it a wrap!”. Have fun with this one and thanks for sharing.

Knew it. That bubble nose and slant back gave it away

Definitely would have sent a sample of the oil to Blackstone Labs just to see.

HI/Lo brings back memories. They got bought out by O’Reilly in 98. In the 80s there were definitely locations all over Houston and East Texas.

To think you could have had this beast new for about 4K back in '54. Love the chrome.

Thanks for the video. I got lost on the dummy light. There are two wires coming from the light on the tach (gray and yellow/black), I know the gray wire connects to the gray wire on the oil gauge going to the light, but what wire does the yellow/black go to?

Did you think about getting a rear wind buffeter?

Beware of these dealers. They often sell absolute death traps and thats because they dont care to do the proper inspections

Man, you need a director/filmographer and an editor. This could have been one of best video about this car on yt

I’m really enjoying this series and am getting some great tips to use when I work on the Series 1 X1/9 I jusrt bought (with a 1500 engine, and a spare fast road engine in bits).Thanks for your efforts in making the videos, and also for showing the failures and not just the successes - its the failures we all learn from!

A tough job that got even tougher. Glad it is now done, I bet.

Marshall, with aluminum doors you'll need to use a foam between the door and mylar layer. My doors were pre-insulated so I didn't need the foam. I can get my garage down to 72 in the spring and 74 in the summer. I recorded a 30 degree difference.

A great car for cruising in the country side.

Where did you get your parts? Like the dash board.

Excellent video - I am about to buy a 1500 with a spare engine with a big valve head - it needs a camshaft, so thanks to your help, I am well prepared for that job!

Nice job Marshall, thanks for the shoutout. The motor for the X is out of the machine shop and is being assembled by Vicks. Couple more weeks and I'll be putting it back together.

Thanks for a ton of information.

I thoughts for sure you were going to swap the round lens from the sealed one to the new housing. Prob doable with some heat gun action. I’m curious if people are flashing their brights at you. I just went with the Hellas with good halogens after much debate with my brain.

I’ve made careless mistakes myself. Like leaving a jack in the way while lowering the car. I call those guy checks. Keeps you humble. I’ll second what others have said. You should put a straight edge on the head to make sure it’s not warped… or just send it! 😎

Super-lucky you had the old engine to get that intake part off of. Any long-term Fiat owner really needs their own parts orchard at some point.

This is just what I needed at the perfect time! I have a really annoying oil leak on my 87 UK X1/9. Couldn't determine the location so used a fluorescent dye and UV torch. I think it's the head gasket but it drives perfectly and the engine sounds awesome when it spins up. Maybe it's from the cam box and running down making it look like the head gasket? There's no usual indications of a head gasket failure.....coolant loss or milky froth at the filler cap etc. When you took the "cam box" off which looks like it sits on the head, there didn't look like there was a gasket on it....was it stuck to the underside of the cam box and we didn't see it? Gaz.

The new head gasket is not correct for your engine. You have a later "14 bolt" engine. That new gasket is for the earlier "10 bolt" engines.

No fiat in the world is easy to do anything on😂😂😂😂 ask any Fiat mechanic! But they are super cool cars, just next level difficulty to repair.

Great looking car and have enjoyed your relevent content. Own two of these myself, market is definately going up on these and I feel your asking price is fair. Hope you get another some day!

Nice work! I might be an exception but I much prefer the classic euro car videos.

Not sure you did this, but whenever you have a head gasket leak, you should take an aluminum head and check it with a straight edge to see if it warped. Even short overheating spells can cause aluminum heads to warp. So not sure your new head gasket is the long term fix without validating the head flatness.

You retained the original engine...what a win ! Now on the looping of the heater core line...yes here to in Georgia it gets very hot... So I used a standard residential home plumbing handle On/Off valve cut into the hot water line leaving the block to be able to terminate the flow of hot water to the core. In February when I really need just a little heat, I open it up and allow the water to flow (and it pushes the "old" water out of the core). Works well and I can tell others the hot water system is modified (not deadlined). Brilliant work, quality, and transfer of your talent as always. My thanks. Joe Oh, I do wish I had an AC.
