Jut for interest, I use a pusher pump from the tank and run the fuel line up to the bulk head, along the outside of the engine bay , along the inside of the NSF wing, and back into the engine bay near the screen wash bottle. The fuel doesn't see any engine bay temps before entering carbs..

I had a boss mounted in the radiator side, top with a common thread size for commercial car rad thermostats - I think the current one is 83C. this gives the option to choose different thermostats until you settle on one (you can get some form of calibration with the switch-on and the car water...

Good idea to check your plugs in the near future - you may see a leaner mixture with the larger snorkel and air volume. Out of interest, is your cold feed inlet near the radiator or away from it - sucking in warm air may negate the benefits of the larger air volume. I had a similar set up as...

I fitted a large Kenlow fan to my 3.9 - I think the biggest they offer. Its often used by the off-road Landrover guys who need a high spec fan when driving through mud and puddles, but remain at low speeds. The fan shroud is so deep, that I had to move the radiator forward about 1 1/2 inches...

Yes, I recognised you were in Australia. If you have contacts here or want to persue the sale and shipping arrangements just let me know ..

@jp928 if you’re interested, I have an SD1 cannister for sale on this forum, with integral high flow K&N equivalent filters. See Selling section

Indeed. There is a good discussion on the merits of this and the OEM spec canister amongst other related isdues in the thread ‘ Lucky Breathes easy ‘, Chrisyork.

The SD1 cannister has a significantly larger intake diameter, as a consequence of the cold and warm air intake options, permitted by the SD1 set-up. SydneyRoverP6B has a good picture of it when used on a standard P6 engine. I used to use the same spec cannister. @ SydneyRoverP6B, I trust you...

Out of interest, are you using the SD1 air filter cannister. Not sure from looking at your previous posts. As you know, this will provide increased air intake volume - as it happens, I have listed one for sale on this site , with integral high flow conical filters included. I used this on my...

Small world, and the design / geometry restrictions are now understood, thanks Nice work.

yep - as you say decades - I guess the idea was that they should need to work for a few years. I'm also finding similar things now failing after multiple decades, eg things with spring clips, plastic light fittings, even the alternator mounting arm failed in a classic fatigue crack only last...

Nice idea - that shape would work well for 3D printing. I would hope 3D print resin is Ok for the temp extremes it has to work it - hot engine or freezing cold days .. For my case, I pumped the pedal a couple of times before starting on a cold day and snap - split down the middle ..

The throttle coupling failed on me this week. Second time in near 30 years of having the car, but as usual at a bad time. FYI, I bought a replacement from Wins and noticed that Geoff now has a batch made in US and notably more robust than the OEM dimensions and a different resin material. I...

Spotted by a fellow P6 enthusiast and shared here. Looks like another bargain !
