    Rover tragedy.

    I dont know what to say... I bought my p6b because I loved the look of it - nothing more than that. I bought it off the guy who bought his children up in it. Chris, hes a legend. I was put onto him via a third party and he did a tonne of work on my car as a rolling restoration before I...

    Flame traps - Where are they?

    Well I guess the important question really becomes - do I need them? I'm guessing "Flame Trap" means it stops backfire from the carby getting into the rocker covers and igniting inside the top of the motor causing a lot of screaming and burning and flames & other bad, bad stuff? Also I did...

    Firing order.

    My girly, when I got her I believe the firing order had been messed up - I replaced all the HT cables and it wouldn't start (DO'OH) Electronic ignition has been added and the dizzy is about 50° out. Once I finally figured that out I also found a cable had been crossed over originally. All...

    Flame traps - Where are they?

    I'm stil not too sure myself... are these the parts? Mine appears to only have a copper or brass connector inline. Is that what I should be replacing? I did the crank filter a short time ago - the parts shop said it was just a fuel filter.

    Idle Problem

    Well, it seems to have settled down.... there's 3 things I've done.. 1.... Replaced the crank filter, was a little blocked. The shop said it just looked like a fuel filter so that's what I got. (I'd never thought of it before! Thanks Rovertron! 2.... A bit of a run, $20 worth of gas and...

    Idle Problem

    Hi there BB, I haven't noticed a misfire at all, but it would be hard to tell because at those low rpm's it's struggling anyway. Also I forgot to mention all the HT leads have been replaced in the last couple of years as well. I'm going for a bit of a run today, hopefully that'll clear...

    Idle Problem

    Hi all, hope I can get some help.. I have an idle problem (sort of) the v8, after a blip on the throttle (say up to 1500 rpm) drops to a very low idle (say 400rpm) and if it doesn't stall, slowly comes back up to idle speed. Also it's stalled a few times this week while in Drive stopped at the...

    spark plug removal(V8 3500auto 1971)

    I had a bit of trouble regarding this subject as well. My old spark plug socket didn't fit through the head wells, too big, so I went to the local parts shop and tried about 3 until I finally found one that was a snug fit. However, knowing it did fit, I happily threw it in my tool box in the...

    Wont Go - Why?

    This might sound a little silly, but try yanking the petrol reserve on on the dashboard! That'll suck the last dregs out of the bottom of the tank!

    exhaust leaking!

    As I was repairing the 4~4:1 connection we had to remove one side manifold and in the process snapped a bold however I remember there was a metal "O" ring that keeps it all airtight. We didn't bother cleaning it up as it looked okay and all seems well. Just drilled out the old bolt and...
