Another Ford Festiva. Some questions.

[kjchernov]

Hello!

I'm new here, and my english is not very good, so, please, don't kick me too much

I have 1989 Ford Festiva, with BJ engine (frame is DAJPF). It's still alive, but it needs many fixes...

I have some questions, I hope someone will answer on them There are no cars like mine here, in Russia, so noone can know them better than you do

1) Can I use 98 RON gasoline? Will that be safe for engine?
2) I need to replace master brake cylinder... will Mazda 121's MBC fit to my car?
3) Are there any non-original ignition cables that will fit to my engine?

Thank you very much.

You have a BJ engine??? Pics please!!! that is a rare engine for sure, take good care of it lol

[kjchernov]

Pics please!!! that is a rare engine for sure

Yeah... I will make some tomorrow

It's really rare Not only BJ engine, but whole car type... I was unable to find another Ford Festiva in my city...

And some parts have bigger price than my entire car... It's really depressing

[Damkid]

Vitaemo. Welcome comrade. How cold is it in your corner of the globe?
The current temperature in Toronto at 20:34 is -6C. It is supposed to be -15C tonight.
We must first see a picture of your Festiva and engine.

Novosibirsk is like "New Siberia"

Yes to all 3 questions. 98 RON is better quality than what we have here in the States. The 121 MC should be identical to yours and bolt right up to the booster (you *might* have to bend one of the hard lines, but i doubt it). most ignition wires will fit our cars. anything from that era that runs a distributor cap and is 4 cyl should be close.

It's about 0C.

FestYboy, thank you

about cables... I meant, is threre are other cables that have proper connector to the spark plug, and enough length? because I was unable to use Mazda 121's ignition cables, because there was no way to connect cable to the spark plug

Pics will come soon

Yes, my Festiva is GT-X...

[FestYboy]

ah i see, ok try using cables from a mazda 1.6 or 1.8L DOHC engine as that should have the same length and connector. these should come from a 323 or protege/familia.
