Thanks, that's one powerful looking Borg Warner 35. I may have bought a box that has strengthened parts? Sounds good.

Thanks eightofthem. @mike I was told by the seller it was out of his mates 1975P6 V8 but I cant confirm. That P6 wasn't on his property, or his mate.

Upgrades for Taxi's, interesting, thanks.

Thanks for the info Ron.

Hi all, I have just purchased a Borg Warner 35 for $50, it has made in Australia written on it, I was expecting a British box. Anyone have any info on it, I was wondering how old it is, apparently this trans is out of a 1975 p6, I have googled the serial number but not much luck. Any info...

Thanks for the quick reply Ron, Ill do that mod another time then copying the other guys methods here, cheers.

Hey, I have access to a SD1 3500 Vanden Plas rusting away on a farm before it is taken away for scrap soon, anyone know if the Vanden Plas exhaust outlet manifold will fit a 1970 p6 3500 auto, was wondering about overheating and fitment issues and what the benefit would be, worth doing?

Thanks Ron

Hi Al, thanks for your reply, is this Lithium grease used in conjunction with standard EP90 oil or used by itself? I've already bought the EP90 oil. My steering box had oil and grease in it when I dismantled it, white looking grease packed inside the Steering Nut where the ball bearings sit. was...

Hi all, I'm about to reassemble by manual steering box with my new seals and was wondering what type of grease to add to the ball bearings, the work shop manual says plenty of grease and then use EP90 oil, does it matter what type of grease to use?

Hey Ron just one more question, where did you put your violet negative wire? directly to the coil or the freed up wire that use to lead to your points?

Hey, I couldn't find the tachometer in my Haynes manual diagram ether, I put the power module lower front left (I think I got that from you in another thread) near the gap between the body and the radiator, behind the headlight, horizontally. hopefully its not to close to the radiator, it should...

I cant see anywhere to connect it to the distributor end, must be a different setup. One thing ide like to point out is Lumenitions instructions, quote: "Connect violet wire to the wire from which the contact breaker assembly was removed, This goes to the negative terminal of the coil, sometimes...

Hey Ron, my car has alot more pick up and im pretty stoked with that, the gear change seems smoother as well, its like a breath of life has just been added to it, now with a edelbrock setup, camshaft and magnecore wires it will be the fastest rover in town 8) one thread is saying i may have to...

Thanks Demetris, I will look at my Haynes manual for that info

One other thing to mention is that the wire that use to connect to the distributor/points is now unplugged and not connected to anything, it has a 12v current so i taped it up

Hey, can anyone help me with my Lumenition setup, I've installed it and its working well with the expected performance increase, smoother driving and less cranking and I’m very happy with it but the rev counter isn’t working. I connected the red wire to the fuse box, black wire to the chassis...

Should I pull my dash out and check for the ballast resistor or should it be there? You've been a great help to me in the past months, thanks Ron.

oh wow thats good news. I knew you'd turn up :) yes my coil is a Bosch gt40r and there is no ceramic block near the coil, i didn't realise you had to add up the values, i did use a ohm meter on the negative and positive coil points and it is 1.7 and it has 2 radio supressors or something, like 2...

Hi, I have purchased a standard Lumenition ignition kit for my p6 3500 and have discovered that my coil is a low resistance Bosch coil that I can’t use with this kit, it needs to be 3.0ohm and above, all I need to do is find an appropriate coil, I have found at Aldon Auto 2 Lucas sports coils...

Interesting, this may explain why i never get the fuel problems people talk about here like going up hills in slow traffic on a hot day? its a strong pump when i pump it by hand, a good suction on my thumb, time will tell because i am going to change it to a genuine rover pump as it doesn't mate...

Thats good news realy because i was getting sad on the idea that someone could of changed around my rover and fluffed with it, only to cause problems in the future with buying parts, maybe a AC pump will improve the power, ill give it a go, cheers.

I hope this is the area you need

My engine looks the same as everyone elses pics here, i thought all rover v8's are Buick?

Thanks for the help, at least i know i have the wrong pump and the shop sent me the correct order, ill keep the kit and hunt down a rover pump, i dont like how this unknown pump it so small, and my car seems a bit slower than other rovers on the net, cheers
