I wonder if there is enough current through the bulb to hold the coil contacts closed with the ignition off . Try switching the ignition off , leaving the engine running and pull off the black earth wire on the relay to see if it stops the engine .
I would think the float is jammed or the float valve stuck/ leaking . There isn't a relief valve , I think its just a vent at the top . I notice you are in Australia and this firm had some parts . Search - 30PAAI-2 . I just googled it and have no knowledge of the firm , but there are a number...
2BA (British Association) is the spanner size ( 0.324"/ 8.23mm AF) , or use a small adjustable from the tool tray. Its a common size on small fixings on old Rovers . One of the first open ended spanners I bought nearly 60 years ago & still going strong.
If its a dynamo it will work on either ground , ammeter will work back to front unless the terminals are reversed and as stated the coil low tension terminals will also need reversing . The dynamo may need " flashing " over by briefly closing the cut out contacts on the voltage regulator...
I worked for the BL/ROVER/Land Rover company for 38 years , many during the changeover from Imperial to SI units and it took years especially on old designs. I have found that the manuals often developed rounding errors between inches and mm , especially when they may cover 20 yrs of...
The old Dunlop gauges available at the time ( 1960s/70's ) use the wheel rim flange as the datum and the rover spec. is based on that, ie the wheel diameter not the tyre. The department I worked in had its own Workshop when I worked for BL ie inc. Rover and the toe was always checked at the...
Surely the tacho on vehicles up to Suffix D/C uses current sensing & needs the ignition wire to loop to the tacho. & back whereas the Suffix E/D onwards is voltage sensed & just needs a single feed to it from the coil .
According to a Lucas document I have the old 11AC alternator could be run up to 12500 rpm & I seem to remember & I might well be wrong that the Lucas 18ACR or similar can be run up to about 17000 rpm.
