Fascinating that the 50 hp in the 4x4 has higher horsepower at higher revs with less torque than the standard car whereas I would have expected it to be the other way round. Does the manual show different compression ration, cam timing or anything to explain the extra power Brian?

Does the 4X4 have a Cat?

Not the early ones... It looks like a different camshaft and distributor account for the differences... I'll put the power and torque curves up tomorrow.

Interesting. Seems to be at slightly higher revs too, about 5k for the 45bhp engine at 5.3k for the 4X4 which would point to better breathing which could be the different inlet cam, coupled with a different ignition curve?
I mentioned a Cat because maybe the non 4X4 may have one, but then realsied the LX I just sold didn't have a Cat either and that was a 45bhp car so that's not the difference.
Are there differences in the carb? Does the 4X4 have a twin-choke carb? That would allow for more power higher up the rev range.

Hi all
Thought I had scored a new dizzy cap on ebay for £1.49 but when I opened the box I was surprised to see there were 2 screws to hold it on...Hmmm.... did my car have screws or clips? Of course it has clips so I might have to dig a bit deeper and find a correct one.

I think this is what you need: Distributor Cap AUTOBIANCHI Fiat Y10 : PANDA : TIPO : UNO : InterMotor 46420

It shouldn't be hard to find because so many Fiat Fire engined cars used it.

I foolishly took a job working in a school in September and as it is full time have been too kn******* to play with old cars...but 2 weeks over Christmas means I have been able to change the distributor cap for a new one from ebay and it is white like the old crusty one.

Had a try at starting the little beast up but the battery was flat so 20 minutes charge and it started but was a bit lumpy I was thinking it might be the petrol as it has been in there for months. The next dry day I will winkle it out and give a few laps.

Looking back the last time the car was ran was August so the petrol is at least 4 months older possibly older.

Managed about 15 laps of the workshops and I am pleased to report that the Y10 got better and better and I was able to adjust the tickover to a sensible speed. Moral must be don't leave your Y10 to sulk for 4 months.
