well now ford is done I am starting on rover re vamp --wedgewood blue and white--or maybe another early color
the brakes themselves are fine-its the amount of effort needed so today i got a smaller servo--will try that first then take it from there
Got a bit of a weird problem that maybe someone on here can help me with? my Buick has got a high lift cam in it and my brakes are--lets say not very good--I got 4 pots and vented discs for ages now --they were really good with the 3.9 yet since fitted the Buick they're poor
The problem-I think...
Am I missing the point here? you either want performance OR economy you cant have both with a v8
Performance wise get the holley carb as its easier to set up and as it closely copies the rochester that was on the 216 Buick to begin with --Rover wanted supply but had contract problems with SU...
NADA vents on a 2000 bonnet(hood) :D and 2000 grill assembly with 3500 front apron :wink: it just gets better with age--its like marmite--you either like it or you dont :D
I let Olivia my Granddaughter put some stickers on the car--this is what she did-Put on some cheap plastic vents and some period style performance brand stickers Hope you like them--I do
Why add additive to 99 octain ? no point is there ? the 3500s I work on run fine on straight unleaded -as far as i can tell anyway--if you had 11-2 compression ratio like mine then could understand additive and timing is TDC or 6 deg BDC maybe a degree either--cant remember exact figure
They will have no choice but to do it as Holden same as Vauxhall --GM when strut undone it leaves brake and hub on bottom arm--so as said will need camber and
tracking check+ reset
Ricky is auto sparky==he has kitted out tech that seems pointless to me -he redone the series 2 harness--threw it away and started again--100% better
and you should see other threads I done
if you did---you would see Black Rose is still blasting -- raced a mustang 289 last nite--easy £50 thatll...
1 from what your saying---I bet cam lobes on pistons 7 and 8 are ground down to 0 lift ==rings and valves fubar possibly
2-Vacuum unit wont work if cams not right due to less hg
3 su carbs were fitted to v8 due to Rochester wouldn't sell rights to 4 barrel and Rover had legal commitment to SU...
Yes its louder and faster =got another motor and box==but weight is the major issue--460ci --7.4litres roughly--p6 handle like puppy on lead now -- so may use in a T bucket :lol: :lol:
