    Oil pressure gauge- 0-60 or 0-100 psi.

    I have both. In my 3500s 1972 it was a 0-60 gauge installed. I swapped it for a spare one I had from a complete instrument cluster. That one was showing 0-100 psi. Does it matter? And has anyone a good method to test if the gauge works? Regards, Barten

    I plan to go, unfortunately without any of my Rovers. It was a very good show last time I was there 3 years ago. It has an excellent one-make parking system that gives the public good chance to see a good variation in cars. regards, Barten

    My 1971 3500 auto is a bit sluggish now. It has 100000 km's on the clock and I think it deserves a new cam and followers, perhaps new timing chain and chain wheel as well. Can anyone recommend what to buy and where? Thanks! regards, Barten

    Leaking 5 way brake union. What can I do?

    The plastic sender is leaking brake fluid. I wonder if I should just put a blind plug there instead. Fortunately I have used silicone brake fluid so the new paint is not damaged. Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain this plastic sender separately from any suppliers? Regards, Barten
