It has a diesel engine, but also has plugs and distributor. Not sure of year, or model

Do you have any pictures? Does the car have any stickers or emblems?

Plugs and a distributor on a diesel? That's weird.

 

[MBL87560SEC]

Maybe a VIN.

He probably has a SI engine that sounds like a diesel.

I gotta admit I have looked at the diesel in our MBs and thought how the injectors, fuel distributor and lines can look like a spark plug and wires ignition set up.

Whereabouts? There's a lot of northern immigrants down here right now. I can get you top dollar 😂

Having no experience with diesels, I thought this when I first looked at a w126 diesel last month. That said, make and model info are on title. Think we're being trolled.

Do you know what color it is? That might help.

Maybe it's one of those old tractor engines that starts on gasoline then switches to kerosene for the real work.

There's a lot of northern immigrants down here right now.

Those are asylum seekers!

No pics yet, am picking it up Monday, I'll post some then. Only other engine I've seen like this is an old tractor that starts on gas, when it comes to temperature you roll it over to diesel, never seen it on a car

Probably. Since I've only been working on diesel and gas engines for 30 plus years. I don't know the difference between an injector pump and a distributor

 

[vdubpower]

looks like a red camaro

 

[frankflynn]

Definitely find out for sure if it is gas or diesel before you fill it up. You can cause some hurt if you fill it with the wrong juice

Don't leave us hanging - there might be a real mystery here! Have seen gassers converted to run on cheaper (then) kerosene and even gassers converted to run on wood., but never diesels converted to run on gasoline. (Both the same except one shuttles fuel around and the other shuttles electricity around).

This car seems to have a unique engine!
Author Ian Fleming ( James Bond fame ) and his car in film ' chity chity bang bang ' could fly. Currently Its in a museum in. Beaulieu , England.
The museum is unique, a must visit and so is the ancient Abbey and the grounds around it.
