If its a Hillman, I have a couple in the garage. If its still needed of course.
Fizz has a 1975 hillman Avenger, running a 1500 with standard carb set-up i think.
Its off the road atm ae, hes doing both engine and panel work on it, plus things needed for a wof.

1500 in a '75? They got the 1600 in the factory! Well I've four with minor cracking and one without.
yea mikey are you sure its not a 1590-or something (1600)??
and have you tried the avenger for wreckin on trademe
I have a 1500 in my '75. All the cool cats are running 1500's now!!
My 1500 is from a '73 Alpine.
Doesn't a standard 1500 Alpine produce less power (even with the S head) than a standard 1600 Alpine?
I read somewhere that the 1500 Alpine is good for 98mph, while the 1600 Alpine will do the magic 100mph?
1500 has more low down power or something though? Pass. I've a 1500 in mine because I had a spare one knocking about when my 1700 munched itself up and have never gotten around to changing it.
Yup, 1500 has a shorter stroke so more low down power. With the mods I have done to mine I knew top end wouldn't be a problem but I was worried about my low down power.
So yeah 1500 all the way! I run pretty much the same size piston as a 1600 now, just with a shorter stroke.
So yes the 1600 would have been slightly more powerful at top end it would have been slower down low and in a street car I would rather a couple of extra horsepower at 3,000RPM than a couple extra at 7,000RPM, I don't do much of my driving at 98mph :P
hahahha he coould have a 1600 in it, im not 100 precent hahhaa
but allgooood.
Mikey.
yea i have 1600
anyway, azza has a indicator lense. he found it in his shed when i was there, if you still havnt got one
