Hi Team, I have purchased a new cam kit from Wins International and have a couple of questions because the car still can like a pig after installing it. I have ended up pulling it all apart again (including the pistons which 3 off have broken top compression rings). Another order from the UK...

Hi Team . So I spent Xmas holidays replacing rhe camshaft in my 3500. Kit was from Wins.I am certain I lined up the marks correctly when putting the new timing sprockets and chain on. The engine now won't rev above 3000rpm at which point there us engine shake and backfiring from rhe exhaust. The...

Hi Guys, Happy New Year. I am in the process of replacing the cam and might as well replace the crank oil seal while to timing cover is off. I have a bottom end gasket set from Wins that has the later seal in it, but mine is the rope type. Does anyone have the instructions to convert from...

Hi Team, I have just ordered a set of crossmember bushes as mine are completely stuffed. Any tips on how to replace these? Is it just a simple case of supporting the diff extension, unbolting that centre bolt, and then the bush bolts, and lowering the crossmember slightly to allow access to...

Hi All, I am in the process of restoring a P6B that has been off the road for 15 years. Engine seems sorted now (revs nicely with in park), but when you accelerate in drive or reverse, the engine bogs right down to pretty much idle and there is no power. I haven''t touched to transmission at...

I have finished the home restoration of the 71 TC I purchased in July last year. This car had not been on the road since 2015 but was well garaged and therefore not a speck of rust in it. Brakes were completely seized and the engine had an SC head on it (with the TC bits in a box). Turns out the...

Any auto sparky experts out there? I am trying to get my V8 project to fire up, but have no voltage on the WY wire to the +ve terminal on the coil with ignition on. When I crank the starter I get maybe 8V. I can only assume the ballast resistor is open circuit, but have no idea where to look...

I have just received an aftermarket starter motor for my P6b and it is just free spinning. The distance from the mating surface to the flywheel looks correct when the pinion is thrown so I can only assume the gear is the wrong diameter. Could someone tell me what the diameter of the pinion...

Hi clever people, I have begin the process of changing my TC back to a TC, having bought it as an SC with the TC bits in a box. Am starting to remove the head and have the flywheel locked at EP with Number 1 exhaust valve fully open (second valve in from the radiator yes?). But the cam locking...

Hi All, I can't seem to find a diagram anywhere that shows the carb adjustment screws like on my 1971 TC2000. HS8 carbs but even the SU site doesn't have this configuration. Can anyone advise which screw is which. I assume there is a Fast Idle, a mixture, and a throttle screw?

Hi Team, I am just about to replace the head on my P6 to put it back to a TC. Someone in the past had put an SC head and carb on it, and left the TC bits in a box. I had the head tested and they found a knackered valve guide so that could be the reason? Question: As I am changing the head...

Hi folks I have just got my 71 2000 project fired up and wonder if anyone has ever solved a running on problem. The 2200TC I had years ago used to do it and this one has the same issue. It does gave half a tank of unknown fuel in it.

Hi Guys, I have no bolts for the fuel pump or starter motor for my P6B project.. Can anyone tell me the size and thread for these please.

So I restored a 2200TC some thirty plus years ago and loved it. Have always wanted another P6, and fancied a B. Couldn't find a good project car here in NZ and then 2000TC came up for cheap. Not having been on the road for 8 years and with an SC head on it, the body was rust free so I bid on it...

Hi There, I have recently purchased a 1971 2000TC which at some point in the distant has been changed to an SC. The original head carbs and manifold came with the car. I took the head to be checked an it just needed new valve guides (probably why it was changed) and a skim. All good there. I...

Hi Team, I have the rear calipers out of my TC and, after winding the pistons back in, thought I'd operate the quadrant to see how far the pistons come out. They only seem to come out about 5mm irrespective of how much ratcheting I do. Does that sound right? I want to make sure they are working...

Hi There, Have just joined the forum with the intention of buying a P6 for restoration. I restored a 2200TC 30 yrs ago and it was my daily driver for 8 years. Toured NZ in it. I'm hoping the forum will jog my memory as I go through the rest process. Just have to find a rust free6 car first. Here...
