What was the last carburetted car sold here?

[Werd.]

3 Cylinder Charades up to around 96.

[rex351]

3.0 and 4.2 petrol nissan patrols had carbs well into the 90's.

[BLU-DVL]

TS Magna Wagon manufactured until Oct96 (sedan ceased in Jul/Aug96), but still available as a runout model until March 1997 was available in the GLX pack..

The GLX was fitted with a 2.4L 4 cyl Carby motor, plastic only inside doors, Clunky 3 speed auto, or 4 speed manual (5 speed manual and sports shift auto not available on the GLS)

Aimed at fleet purchasers (eg. Coca-cola, Cadbury.. and the company I used to work for!)
Averaged about 14-16L/100KM fuel non-economy, and you were almost flat out off the line every where you went to get the thing to move!. at 80km/h turn on the aircon (dont move the position of the foot on the pedal!).. and the car slowed to 75km/h!

recommended retail (wagon!) $24K.. the executive 3.0EFI was $31K
value now!... $750.00

From the Wikipedia;:
TS Magna was replaced by the all-new TE series in 1996, however, TS wagons remained for sale up to 1997 pending the delayed arrival of the TE-based wagon.

I'm pretty sure the Ford JH Econovan came as a 2ltr carby in the early 2000's.

2003 Mitsubishi Express. Not my version of a car but interesting all the same.

I'm pretty sure KH Lasers had them but I'm not sure?
Also if anyone has info on whether Japan or anywhere elise like Russia maybe still sells carburetted cars that'd be cool.

Lada , 96/7 ?

Nope
They had a 2.6L engine, not 2.4 and they had 4speed auto or a 5 speed manual.
No Magna was ever available with 3speed autos or 4 speed manuals.

Hit the nail on the head with the Val stuff....The Holden one was in the VK, whereby they had a sensor that worked off the flywheel...It bolted to the back of the head and there was a hole in the bellhousing........Not 100% how it worked and never had any interest in learning either.....I have only ever thrown that stuff over the shoulder and fitted standard electronic dizzies to those ones....

Still got original carby? Or did you chuck it for the ford weber?

[Franco Cozzo]

What is the difference between points ignition and an electronic ignition (with distributor obviously).

Points is obviously all mechanical, thats about all I know.

We all know real engines fire on compression, not spark ;)

the 2.4L 4 cylinder that appeared in the TE Magna never had a carby it was the 2.6L 4 cylinder that had the carby and EFI option. all 2.4L (4G64) motors where fuel injected
