quick check - have the dashpots got oil in em? you could pull a plug and see what it looks like.

I'm not going to, I really like 'em. Had a webber on the Series and just couldn't get on with it. The WinSU program is great as well. hmmm, if you want lumpy running and poor pickup In my experience.... Also the SU's are free, as they're on there already. Hoping for a bit of a real...

That video....!!! I'd want a tensioner on that little belt tho. Looks a bit wobbly. It sounds fantastic! I'll also be sticking with the 3.5, until it goes bang. Presumably 10 bolt heads and the composite gasket is the same compression ratio as the P6 head and tin gaskets?

I was going for more like 1bhp per tenner.... Less if possible :)

Nyaaa price heart attack! I'd love all that stuff but no way can I justify spending that on a £1K car. Mix and match for cheapness is the way forwards for me, as Fett says :) and never ever add up the bills. ever. especially if the missus is watching.

fanks again all :) that mez site is cool. I'm going for max grunt, got a K-series midget for mad rev stuff :) looks like heads is the way forwards, especially if I can get some more modern 10 bolters, and doubly especially if I can keep em if I ever want a bigger engine (when I can afford the...

cheers fellas stuff I've discovered: some of the later heads have got 10 bolts instead of 14, (maybe the 4.2 and bigger?) but they also have smaller combustion chambers to take account of the thicker head gasket, so those on a standard P6 would result in a probably unrunnable comp ratio - it...

Hi all first up, it's not in a landy, it's in a 1970 high compression P6. :) But i figger you people are knowledgeable enough to help :cool: I want a bit more go out of it, it goes pretty well at the moment but I've got modifiers disease so want more! Got some exhaust bits that are...

yup, thems the ones, cast 4 into 2 then tubes for 2 into 1. Looked like the easiest and cheapest way to better manifolds, the standard P6 ones don't look that great..

I spent a while looking at this for my P6, same carb'd 3.5 V8. In my view from what I found out, the ideal solution for beefing the low end torque is massively complex with, there's a semi-ideal one that's quite complex with crossovers (too complex to fit in the space I have) and a sort of OK...

that's true! my ammeter's in right, but my brain was wired wrong :( :doh: I didn't bother with a fuse on mine, never had one in the original wire.

voltmeter safer and probably easier to fit than ammeter, ammeter has to take full alt feed through it, need some pretty beefy cabling and if the ammeter dies then no more electicity.. got both in the Midget, voltmeter tells you all the ammeter tells you, but slower. voltmeter tells you the...

they've got rid of the classic car parts section as well. so now there is much trawling through ****e before choosing some ****e to buy.

normal service stuff, make sure it's timed properly, mixture is set OK and plugs and ignition system is good. I bought one of those 16 quid chinese lucas copy distributors and it is great, been going for about 3000 miles now and still OK. Fitted an SU on mine that I had lying about, it now...

drive it for a bit, anything that falls off isn't important. :p Series can hold their own on green lanes. Local clubs are good for knowing where the byways and suck are, if they're recognised you can even get money off insurance.

Pah rule number 1. I've bought all my classics blind. Hope it's a goodun, get some pics up here, we likes pics :) You don't know bankrupt till you have a series and a rover 3500 V8... if the inner wing piece is in poor nick then they can squirt water up the gap, bounce it off the inside...

tent's a bit close to the exhaust isnit? tis a quality piece of kit :)

i did my landy with a 1.99 roller from morrisons and a pot of enamel from paddocks. and some cheap paintybrushes. it looks amusingly rough, but it's all the same colour and its quite battered anyways. dunno what i would do if i wanted it to look smoooooth. some other guys have done it on...

mine will only do about 65 absolutely flat out, sounds like it's gonna go bang at that as well. It's bad enough at 50, but does manage 27mpg on a long run. it's fairly quiet, at least the engine isn't the biggest noise @50, mine runs really nicely, and I wouldn't change it for a 200 'cos it...

i likes tuna and i had ran out. it's a 99 pound limit on pay@pump but you can't use the vouchers there anyway. did the same deal with bogroll a couple of weeks ago, the offers are only worth it if you need the stuff that the offers on.
