Chassis E finally shows the standard RVC tacho (34). The white/black is the signal wire to the negative side of the coil. White is +12V but it powers only the tacho it doesn't feed the ignition circuit. i.e. it is wired in parallel rather than series. It would not affect the ignition circuit...
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if your car catches fire....
Probably because you have no power to the coil. The RVI old tacho was wired in series with it.
The RVI will have a white wire which is +12V ignition and a white/yellow wire to the coil via the ballast. Ignoring any illuminator...
Tell me about it - almost the entire steering and suspension had to be replaced before my car drove properly, the PAS box will be the THIRD one this car has and the idler was replaced with a new one. It's not a question of the odd ball joint very often.
Surely the Sniper using two throttle bodies is inherently inferior to simply using the Hotwire sequential system, especially when mapped and using newer 4 hole injectors.
The electric option is tricky for space in a V8, it's mostly used in 4 cyl conversions which have more room. I looked at this and will probably keep the mechanical pump - but I'm sure with a bit of creativity it can be done, but hey-ho. Ultimately Colin will likely be doing the work, I'll give...
That's exactly what I did. it works well enough. In fact it's what manufacturers did up to the early 2000s. Now they have much more precise temperature control for emissions.
Not quite. You have two voids at the center where the motors are instead of one.
And one of the lessons of the exercise was that actually the P6 isn't very hard to cool - the radiator is actually pretty good - the issue is the tightly packed engine bay when there is no air at all moving when...
You need to fit the biggest single fan you can and fit a two speed switch - take a look at my thread using a 16" fan. By sweeping the largest area of the radiator possible you massively increase the cooling efficiency. Using 2 fans is the wrong approach IMHO - work out the areas involved. A...
I think they are pretty impressive for the money. Realistically most of our cars aren't going to get £2.5K of retrimming which is what it would cost. Some scrim foam might give a slight improvement to "plump" them out a bit.
Modern leather is nothing like traditional leather. Most of the...
Not yet. I'm most likely to get Colin to fit it as he's converted any number of cars and if there's a few bits missing he'll have them. The problem you have is these things run at 1200PSI, so if there's a weak spot it'll be found. It's not really like the manual box where you just need to...
The hooning around in the video is quite fun but the review is pretty dull and matter-of-fact - you won't learn much from it as someone who knows anything about the car.
It comes across rather like Saabs did in more recent years in that for a German consumer of the time, the car was "different"...
Well, not long really. Maybe an hour to clamp, draw around and cut the aluminium. another hour to glue and ,clamp the veneer and a the same again to carefully trim the veneer - the aluminium backing becoming its own template.. You use paper masking tape on the edges when cutting to stop the...
My effort in 0.8mm alumium sheet and some walnut veneer off ebay: Needs LOTS of epoxy glue and a lot of clamps.... I'm no cabinet maker. Bend it when the epoxy is hardened but not fully cured and obviously don't varnish it until after you bend it. If you bend it too soon, it will lift...
Not a bike person but I find these 1970s creations "handsome" in a way modern fairings on wheels just aren't. Maybe it's because they are clearly "machines" and I like the engineering on display.
