Stage 1 V8

hey, nice landy you got there. you can do it either way realy, its prob best to see which would be the best way cost wise realy, difs can be expensive & if you buy second hand ones they might be as good as the ones you take off, you can get rang rover transfer gears off the internet, & yes i...

have been told its more likely to be the timing... so far so good but haven't had time to get it that hot so have to wait till the next time have to do some running around..

the carb has been on for over 12 months now, spoke to a chap today & he said its more likely to be the timing, so will adjust the distributor & see if it helps & if not il try it when it plays up again..

forgot to say was going down the hill, wasnt to hot, have to keep an eye on it as have no automatic switch for the fans at mo so use the over ride switch to keep it cool, so temp stared to go up but was v hot to day here & sat in traffic but once on the move was fine.. ordered all the bits from ...

i think youd get away with fitting the 600 holy, you just might need to jet it down a bit, i was told you need at least a 500 holy for a v8, so 600 would or should be ok, might be a bit thirsty, ir you talk to real steel they would be able to give you the info you need. & yer it cert was a good ...

if you look in LRM theres new v8 distributors going for about £150.

ive got an old points type with female oil pump drive, although said bit is a little worn, & is fitted with an after market electronic dizzy parts, also have a rangy coil for it, if you interested pm with an e-maill add & ill send you some pics of it. works ok i just put in a mallory set up.

Neutral Neutral well where to start, took the old one off no probs, looked at peddle end to see how to do a small modd to allow for longer travel to accommodate the 4barrle webber carb, but that was saved for the next spare time slot, so...
