I have fitted a power steering upgrade to a 1968 P6 3500 as a consequence I have had to fit a different wiper motor package from a power steered car. Does anybody have a wiring diagram as I only have three wires in the car and there are five connections on the wiper motor.

Thank you Harvey for your help I will give it ago on Monday, it's quite tight around the alternator with not masses of clearance for pipe.

Many thanks for your replies, I have a parts book it shows the pipes etc but what it does not show is where the pipes fit. The high pressure pipe from the pump to the box does it come out of the pump upwards over the top of the distributor over the rocker box and then to the O/S inner wing or...

During lock down I have decided to fit power steering to my series 1 V8, steering box, reservoir, bottom pulley and pump fitted no problem, but struggling to find pictures of how the high and low pressure pipes fit and where they run and attach. I am sure I will have to fabricate some...

Just got home from a great weekend away, many thanks to everyone who had a part in organising it.

Glad to hear that everyone has got back safe.We got back to sunny lancashire just before 9 pm, hold ups on the M6. Just like to say thankyou to Mark, Angie and all the gang for a cracking few days, great cars and great chat. Will post some pictures later.

You can get nuts which go onto the 7/16" P6 studs for the SD1 wheel from Geoff at Wins International. :D

I had a problem like this with my gearbox it had a terrible oil leak which dripped at the front and ran around to the selector lever and onto the exhaust, it was so bad sometimes that it could drop on the floor a quarter of a pint. This amount varied and which I found confusing and because of...

Hi all, after a bit of advice regarding converting my manual steering V8 series one to power steering. Is there any pit falls and the steering box is larger with power steering and so do I have to move the wiper motor to the nearside like in later cars. Regards saab-master

As for the kickdown cable, because you have the sump off you can adjust it properly. Tighten it up at the adjuster at the top until you can see that the heel of the cam at the bottom is away from the throttle valve that it operates, then back off the adjuster until the heel of the cam just...

Many thanks Gareth P6 for the picture, how have you connected the fuel lines from the pump to the car. Is yours a series one V8? like mine. Regards Saab-master

Many thanks guys for your help any chance of any photos. Regards Saab-master

Hi all, I have took the plunge and decided to fit a Facet electric fuel pump to my V8. I was wondering if anyone has fitted one, did you fit it in the engine bay or near the fuel tank ?, how did you route the petrol pipe to and from the pump ?, did you fit an electrical cut off switch for safety...
