Hello Mark, great to know that there's another 73 144gl out there. One of the rare survivors. Did you score manual overdrive with it? Teflon washers work we...

Mark_Walton56

I did wonder whether it was you, I actually owned that 144 you had, and then followed your racing adventures on your site, will forward to Ant and Helen, they are in Toronto and both doing well, take care down there! Mark

Hi all! Hope that 2019 is being good to you so far! I’ve rebuilt the DJet distributor for myinjected 144 [Harry] but the vacuum mechanism will not hold vacuum, does anyone have a working one they don’t need or does anyone know where to get a new one? Thanks in advance!

Ever considered replacing the distributor with a 123 distributor and ignition?

There is a version available which has the extra points required for triggering the D-Jet system, but you have to request it.

Otherwise, the vacuum retard mechanism for the D-Jet B20E dizzy is Volvo p/n 243276.

The Bosch part number for the dizzy is 0 231 163 021 - it's a JFURX 4.
The Bosch part number for the vacuum retard capsule is 1 237 123 131

The Swiss place has them.

GCP doesn't appear to; CVI list one on their PDF catalog but not on their website, and VP Autoparts' website is down right now, so can't check there.

Have not been on this site for sometime so it is interesting to see what is happening.
My 1st 142E (1971?) had the D-Jet and overdrive as per the the P1800's of that era. Quite a car which was originally registered in Rockhampton and is now a race car with a 230 engine and Getrag 5 speed! The o'drive ended up in a 122 in Sydney.

Hi there the amazing contributors to the rebirth ofHarry so far, been doing trial fits of stuff, and whilst placing the injector holders onto the head thought that there may/ should be a thin sealing washer of sorts between the injector holder and the head,any ideas? And if there is one, what does it look like and where do you get them.

carnut222

You're correct Mark. There's supposed to be a phenolic spacer washer to isolate the injector holder...IIRC there's one on top and bottom where the bolt holds it to the head. Of course there is also a large rubber O-ring concentric to the injector between the holder and the head. Not sure off the top of my head whether the phenolic washers are still available new. Could try George Minassian. I'll have a quick look online for part number and get back if I can find anything.

FYI the spacer washer part number is 962658. Pretty sure you'll need 8 in total. They're $2USD each from GCP, also available at Skandix, probably other sources. If you need other bits place a larger order from GCP or Skandix, or if all you need is the washers I'd bet George Minassian has them.

Hi Mark, who did the polishing job on the inlet manifold, Can you recall what the cost was?

Mark_Walton56

Hi Paddock@Massey165, hmmm, I did, cost, 4 abrasive wheels, 6 sheets 600 - 1200 grit, MANY finger nails LOL, it was quite easy actually, those red nylon abrasive bluffing wheels that take varnish off wood do a brilliant job on alloy, the rest was detail, parts I could I did on a buff wheel, and three coats clear.

Hi there Carnot, once again thank you for that information, and for the photo, will try George, so 8 would be for where the cast injector holder sits into the head, and the other 4 being smaller for the bolts between the cast holder and head?

Hope this clarifies. Sorry for poor pic. All I could find on short notice. Each injector holder has 2 phenolic washers (#38A). The washers are on the bolt holding the injector holder to the head. One washer above holder, and one below. There also appears to be a lock washer (#37) or other on the bolt. The O-ring (#38) sits between the holder and the head.

Phenolic spacer was her, only you Carnut

Hi Mark, the seals look like this..

I still haven't been able to get to Melbourne due to restrictions, but there are several d jet distributors there when I can. One will hopefully have a working casual. It is this part from a retard distributor? This is in the 73 in my driveway.

I still have your other bits.

Roinik

I have them in one of my gasket buckets, left over from a gasket set. Send me your address and I'll post them to you.

Mark_Walton56

Hi Ian, thank you, it is really appreciated, 25 Frazer Road,SPRINGWOOD NSW 2777

Mark_Walton56

Hi Carnut, that diagram really helps, and Ian can send me some he has as spares, would not have thought you would have needed the lock washer and one above and one below the bolt, will now source the O ring, mine had none ?no washers, no O ring, hmmmmm

Mark_Walton56

Hi there 144-1971, as always, I’m very appreciative of your advice and ongoing engagement, I bit the bullet and have a 123 dizzie on order, it’s a 64th birthday pressie to myself, Harry’s build is going to take a bit of time so will happily wait for however long the current crazieness lasts, your parts, including the vacuum retard mechanism (yes, that part from your photo, by the way like the green colour you did the alternator in) will all be cherished when we get moving again, in the meantime, I’ll keep plugging away doing ‘trialfits’ of parts I have finished. Hope you and yours are all ok ??

What size is the O ring Mark, I've probably got 4/5 spare you can have.
