I have read all the posts regarding wiring up the ignitor, still a little confused. Wiring is not my thing. What I have is a 1967 P6 White wire coming out of the distrubutor (going to the tach?-cant tell as it disappears into the bulkhead) Original coil marked CB and SW. So whick side of the...

Picked up this P6 a few weeks ago, used to have one in the early 1990's and sold it due to other projects. Saw this one and had to have it. Lovingly taken care of by the previous owner it was stashed away for more than 10 years. The storage has been rather kind to it, only needing some slight...

My car has the later HS8 carbs, I will check the float condition and replace the needle valves ( I have 2 new ones purchased from All British Cars (Burnaby BC Canada). This is my second Rover P6...

One of the pistons on my 66 P6 won't lift causing the float bowl to overflow. The piston easily lifts manually and falls correctly. When I run the engine it won't lift under acceleration. Any suggestions?
