Parts source for '77 Carina engine

[pryantcc]

Hello All,
My name's Paul and I just bought an engine & gearbox from a 1977 Carina. I've had a look around the web for some bits & bobs, but haven't found any aladdin's caves full of suitable parts.

Dou you guys know of anywhere good to look? I'm looking for general re-commissioning stuff:
gaskets, plug leads, distributor parts, coil, water pump, that kind of stuff.

Many thanks in advance!

Paul.

Hello Paul, once you know the engine code number you may have a better chance of finding parts. A 1977 Carina should have either a 1.4 with a T code or a 1.6 with a 2T code.

Hi Bob!

Thanks for your reply. The engine number starts with 2T201. I've been told its a 1.6. Toyota here say they can't even get the parts any more, is it the same case in the UK?

From my reading, it sounds like these engines are plentiful in Australia, I hope I don' thave to ship parts in from there?!
