Hey Andy,
At least it had some Triumph lineage. Wasn't Saab using the slant 4
block purchased from Triumph in that time frame?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, Tim, but I think Saab had started
messing with what was by then a 2-liter engine by the mid-1970s. Like my mom's
'74 Volvo, it was a typically Swedish blend of old and new: K-Jetronic fuel
injection...and a Bosch points distributor! :-) And that Saab's distributor
could "eat" points like no Lucas or Delco distributor I've ever seen.

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
