Re: [MBZ] OT: Saab 96 parts car in southern OR
1 qt of cheapest non detergent 30wt you could find to 8 gallons of petrol. Little blue light would come on at 8 gallons. I used "Grants Oil" in mine. No, this looks like a V4, faster, uses fewer plugs/mile, much less soul.

That would be a huge undertaking, and probably involve a substantial hood bulge. The 2.8L Ford Capri V-6 bolted right up, just had to find someplace else to put the radiator. Seems like there was room in the nose, I've seen air conditioned Sonnett IIIs with the condenser up front. Back in the day, there were a lot of performance parts for the 2.8, but now it might be easier to find a rally cam for the 1.7.
Re: [MBZ] OT: Saab 96?
I had a '74 Sonett III -- had to replace the heads shortly after I bought it - yes, keyhole surgery is a good description! Other than the two cracked heads, the only problem I had with the car was the water temp activated automatic choke. It was a blast to drive - though it would have been even more fun with one of those turbo charged in-line fours! I was asking if it was a 94, 95, 96, 97, or what. Someone ID'd it as a 97. -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Re: [MBZ] OT: Saab 96?
Hi, OK Don, et al. It was one of the first of the V4' Twos, red engine and nicely curved bodywork, not that angular POS Three that required keyhole surgery just to check to the oil. I had to do a clutch on a three, late model black engine, what a pain in the fundament! I was (much) younger then and drove aggressively, i.e. like a complete moron!

OK Don wrote: > > What was the number of the Sonett? Mine had the V4 --- I believe the wagon was the 95 and the sedan was the 96, with the Sonnett III being 97. The early Sonnett may have been 97 also. I thought the S-III (1970's) was a very cool looking car, but the S-I (1960's) was just quirky.
