    Most essential tool

    favorite tool is my welder because it's fun to use, can stick things together so they won't come apart, involves spark for visual satisfaction, and electricity for technical satisfaction, creates wonderful buzzing noises and noxious very garage repair like fumes, it's great to see a once rusty...

    Cheap P5B coupe

    Looks to me like someone who has way too much money and wanted to see what his ride would look like in a classified ad. Does not look like someone who actually wishes to sell a vehicle.

    No fuel to carburettors

    Oh yes, that was included on my checks! You never know, it may have been pushed out by oil! in any case, most assuredly NOT a bad fuel pump, so it must be something else. i measured the actuating rod, and it is 1.208" or 1 3/16". i measured the distance from the base of the fuel pump to the...

    No fuel to carburettors

    The lobe is shown in the parts manual in the diagram for the oil pump and tensioners. In the attached pic, the lobe on bottom of distributor is shown at number 17. The push rod is shown as number 60. I had a similar problem with my car 2 years ago where i could not get fuel to carbs. I ended...

    No fuel to carburettors

    Unfortunately, living in the U.S., i don't have the possibility of spares, or for that matter, a parts manual. Been looking for the parts manual for over a year, and have found a few pretty ratty ones, and am not about to shell out the asking prices for these (and neither is anyone else, as, a...

    No fuel to carburettors

    Yes, I had a spare (new never been used) fuel pump, and put it on, and I did check out the old pump, both look fine, and you can watch the actuator move correctly as you push the priming lever. In addition, I pulled the pump back off, and spun the engine by hand with a socket while holding a...

    No fuel to carburettors

    My 1968 2000 TC has stopped running again, so tracking down the problem, resulted in a no fuel to carburettors. Further digging around revealed that the fuel pump is not working. I eliminated the possibilities of a clogged filter, leak in the lines, bad fuel, and so on by changing out the fuel...

    120 cubes, 600 H.P.

    Amazing how far technology has brought us. Dodge, in North America, has announced a new Dart for 2013, a front wheel drive car that will share it's chassis and other components with the Alfa Romeo Gulietta . The racing version, which will compete in the Global RallyCross Championship, a race...

    Riddle me this. How do you turn a pony into a fish??

    My first car was a '65 Mustang, 289, automatic coupe. Had a friend's first car was a '66 Barracuda, 273, automatic. The mustang outran the Barracuda consistently on the straights, the Barracuda out handled the Mustang on anything twisty, but I always caught him. Incidently, the Mustang ended...

    A "Restorer"...Who here would restore this?

    Wow! that would be a fairly easy restoration candidate! All there and no rust, insides look like a good cleaning would sort that out. Just banged up a little. No obvious rust issues. How are the electrics? obviously, you can tell I come from a place where it snows, and they salt the living...

    upload pictures of all your p6's

    1968 2000TC, Arden green, black leather interior in poor shape, and running now for the first time in 8 years or so, as the prior owner gave up on it and I saved it from the crusher. Still much work to do!

    "S"

    I'm going to go with the practical on this and say that Rover expected the 3500 S to be a much bigger seller in the U.S. than it was, and ordered trim from suppliers, including those beautiful "3500S" badges in quantity. Then they needed to do something with them.........

    Photo of my Rover

    Much to do before any sort of thing like that! engine compartment grimy, seats are terrible, both bumpers bent, floor pan dented. Anyone know a good source for seat replacement covers and outer rocker panel covers that will cater to the U.S.? On the plus side, I found a gent who says he has 4...

    Photo of my Rover

    A photo hides a thousand flaws.....and for the most part, it is pretty good, only one small spot of base unit rot, But thanks for the compliment. This one was heading for the crusher before I rescued it, so I suppose I am a gear head environmentalist by default.......Ironic....!

    A light crash test

    Look at it this way, minor damage and no injury....You were very lucky! A good P6 is difficult to replace, and a couple of broken legs take a long time to heal!

    this is from last fall, and much of it still needs work before I drive it, but the carbs and intake are don and installed, and it's raining, so the old photo will have to do....
