Stage 1 V8

thanks, not as bad as mine, they got to intermate with the exhaust manifold!!! don`t ask, i don`t know how...

from the central diff lock switch there are three pipes, one goes to the in-let manifold, so where do the other 2 go? answers on a post card please... or just post under neath!!! many thanks.

ok, ok, i got it wrong again, there isnt one big nut as i was told, found that out laid on me back fiddling as you do trying to sort out something that you cant see, n low n behold couldn't feel a nut, then relised there are lots of little bolts all round the crank handle fitment, so back to the dra...

if its only using oil. you will see how bad it is by the smoke out of the exhaust, or have a look at the engine & see if its loosing oil from seals, but these engines will run untill they are in very bad shape, as in pistons that collapse when removed from the bores, badly stretched timing chain...

can any one tell me the size of the socket that fits the pulley nut? on an 82 version.

you would be a lot better going to real steel & getting a proper mallory set of leads, the leads can vary for diff distributors, youd be better off using the correct type for you distributor, they would cost you around £30 or so, give them a try they are very good..

not sure really make me an offer...

ive been trying to set up the timing on my landy only to find out today that i mite have been working to the wrong timing mark, can any one post a pic or tell me where i can find a clear pic off the timing mars so i can have a look, cant seem to get it all, as in, itl start really well but wont run ...

its the oval type, but im afraid its just the box and pipes to the carbs, no inlet pipes, it didnt have any when i bought it..

set of lumenition electronic leads, in good order, just put on set of mallory leads so on longer required..

original 82 air filter box + connecting tubes for su carbs, also inlet manifold in good nick, n be fore anyone asks no i havent got any su carbs, well i have but itl cost you an arm n leg to revamp them!!! also original fuel filter bowl + metal pipes in & out, also mesh gill, in prity good con, ...

if you take a look at the link below, p2, mines a truck cab..

the only thing you will prob have to do though as i did, is i had to lift the engine on near side (bearing in mind i use right hand drive) to get the manifold into place..

i used a full 110 v8 exhaust on mine, but i did have to chop off the inside nut on the shackle & weld it so didnt undo as the nut was catching on the manifold so youl prob find thats what the diff is.

ive just fitted an electronic mallory distributor n very pleased with it any probs ive had was due to the timing (not my strong point). try real steal, theyl supply it with the correct oil pump drive the very good price compared to other places, they supplied the lot, coil & braket n ballast res...
