    Spot the (not) difference

    Not going to see these parking lot buds together every day.....or indeed basically ever. If I had space I would buy it (the Special); a great Rovernerd collection piece in my view.

    V8 Engine Stabilizer Rod Assembly

    Hello I am looking for the complete assembly although I do have the rubber parts. I originally had the AC accessory bracket which included the stabilizer of a different setup but now I got rid of that, I just need the regular bits. It’s for NADA V8 but I don’t suppose that’s a challenge except...

    (Another) Mystery Brake Fluid Loss

    Hello So, have refilled the reservoir a couple of times. Not a drop of fluid on garage floor where the car spends 99% of its time. Inspected hoses - nothing obvious. Driver carpet dry, definitely not coming through from master cylinder (had that before). Tested the reservoirs (NADA 3500S) and...

    Aaarghh - Servo Reaction Valve plastic insert chucked away

    Hello I think, I thought that the reaction valve kit included the plastic plunger thing that goes inside the diaphram. It does not, so now I am left with two useless servos on my Federal 2000TC. I managed to scrape up one from a spare servo I had in a pile but I am missing the other. I could...

    Bleeding PAS Noise

    Hello The post title can be rearranged but here's the thing. In what is dangerously close to being one of the last things to tidy up on the decade-resto, I have a vibrating / humming noise from the PAS - just in front of the dashboard. Previously I posted on this, as I had to unhook the belt as...

    Noisy New Motor

    Hello Well over a decade into the restoration. The final (well, until the next thing goes wrong) issue of leaking rear calipers has been fixed. So the 1970 V8 Auto with its professionally rebuilt engine is just venturing out a mile at a time. In the garage it sounds fine from the outside and...

    No Escape from NADA Dual Line Brake Hell

    Hello After a decade long restoration, Saturday was supposed to be the big reveal with the car going out for the first time not sitting on the back of a flatbed. Unfortunately, a seized caliper on the attempted reversal out of the garage sent that plan down the toilet. Caliper was fixed up; I...

    Front V8 Caliper Piston Insertion

    Hello I poked around on the forum and surprisingly did not find any info on my particular challenge. I had to remove the three pistons, which was okay. Well, not really in the bigger picture but I got them out. Then on the rebuild I was able to insert the dust seal in the figure-8 side but the...

    Master Cylinder Seals Kit

    Hello I have a rebuild kit in my stash and I can't work out if it is the right one for my car. I need a dual line 2000 export kit, and what I have says on the bag 55271 BHCC(P or F) "As SSE916". Anyone know what these part numbers might equate to? before I go and order a new rebuild kit. It...

    Restoration Startup Transmission Whine (or not)

    Hello After a long hiatus working on house renovations with zero fun factor, my second decade of NADA 3500S reno continues. Actually, in danger of completing it before the next pandemic. I went for a drive round the development for all money the transmission whine was horrendous. I thought that...

    Break in Woes (New Unpleasant Noise)

    Hello Before too long I will be doing a "how NOT to" post about my reconditioned engine install, but before that tale of muppetry and misery is unleashed, I have the latest and most horrible sounding noise yet encountered during the process. After a few sessions of breaking in (stationary) and...

    Electronic Ignition Confusion and Clarifications

    Hello i am trying to do my 1969 3500S NADA rebuild cam break in so starting the car is required. I installed a Powerspark ignition and got a DLB198 coil with it measuring 1.1ohm. Now, I just connected it up as it was with points. Also in the mix is the new lightweight starter motor (higher...

    Carpet Pieces Mystery

    Hello I recently purchased a carpet set from JRW. Unfortunately the main runner had no cutout for the NADA 3500 floor accelerator pedal so those have to go back. I expect I will have to get something custom made. But on the topic of the misc pieces I have absolutely no clue where they go (see...

    PAS Pump Outlet Fitting - Leak arrggh

    Hello So everything connected up on my rebuilt engine, but not started up yet. Small coolant leak that I am hoping to fix with mouse milk, but much larger PAS leak at the pump outlet. The flared fitting looks odd to me for something going into a fitting like that but I checked out the pic on a...

    Speedo Wobble - Smiths Angle Drive

    Hello Back in the Cretaceous Period when my car last run, it had a wobbly speedo - pretty annoying. So as part of the rebuild, I got a new BW35-end angle drive, got a replacement cable that ended up being the wrong one, so I checked the old one on removal and it is not busted so I am thinking...
