Hi all,
 
I might keep my 2 threads separate and I do not wish to spam the forum with a thread for every question.
 
I wish to keep my Capri for life, as original as possible, but want to make it more reliable etc....
So in light of that.
 
1. Shall I update the radiator and add a thermo fan?
2. Should I replace the  40 DFAV with a 38?
3. Should I tinker with the engine? (90k miles) or just go 20thou and standard rebuild?
4. Should I continue to use the electric fuel pump? or go back to the mechanical?
 
Thats all I can think of 'pre-coffee" 
Thanks in advance!

Stick with the mechanical fan
Go for a 38
Why not - even a v63 cam
Stick with mechanical

5. Do I get the all the trim bits re-chromed? Or keep them with the original chrome and scratches?
 
6. Put the old mono cassette deck back in?

#1 get an electronic distributor from Performance Ignition or Ignition Developments
Get your extractors ceramic coated

Cheers, the engine has 90k miles, any idea what their life could be on the original bore?
