Greetings:

I just joined your Rotary Car Club as a educational experience. You see, I recently purchased a '80 Triumph TR-7 that came complete with a 13B Rotary engine.
My plans are to re-build/rescue/restore the car (including the engine) over the next few years, but I know nothing about the Wankle.So, I will be asking some basic questions of you experienced folks.
First questions are :
1. How can I find out when the engine was built? Only have the engine #
2.I think the Nikki 4bbl. carb is from an '80 RX-7- how can I be sure? What are the preliminary mixture and idle speed settings?
3. I have gray smoke at start-up. I think I have coolant getting into exhaust system- How can I investigate this? Thanks!
