The V8 Owners Forum -

With the Perfomance kit you change the LOT ! Had a chat to the guy at rimmer bros about it all and told him my plan. It was the best way forwards for me as all my parts were still original (1980) and I was 99% sure they were all faulty as well, so the kit killed a few birds with one stone :lol: Gut ...

Well there is life in the old girl yet :D :D :D After doing quite a bit of reading up on other forums and finding the best price, I decided to go for the Lumenition performance system from Rimmer Bros. I couldn't quite stretch or justify the mallory equipment although nice I dont think ill get enoug...

Following on my my previous thread http://www.v-8.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1708 I seem to have hit a stumbling block. I want to ditch everything to do with the opus system and start again so I know I have something reliable, Iv been talking to Aldon Automotive who sell the Pertonix electronic ig...

Descided to pull it all out again today to check what parts I have and find out what im going to need It turns out I have the 35DE8 version so I can now tell exactly which unit im going to need, iv been looking on the Aldon website as they seem to have a good listing for Lucas units, but when it com...

Thanks for the Reply Ian, Im not up much on Carb components, but iv found a diagram on Rimmerbros site. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/rimmer/rover/sd1/fuel They seem to list a Float needle & seat kit - (2) - WZX1100A - does this sound right ? Could someone point out the individual components from ...

Might have just found the answer to one of my own questions

Iv finally got a pressure gauge for my Filter King and as I thought the pressure was way too high !! So I have turned it right down to around 2.5psi for now As you stand at the front of the car and look at the engine the left bank is the one im having trouble with as soon as you turn the pump on and...

Wow the Pertronix kit looks like good stuff :D So if I got one of these kits + a 12v coil I could ditch everything I have now and run on a std 12v setup without the need for any resistors or ponts ? Who is best for these kits for the Rover V8 engine, done a google but not come up with much :? anyone...

No luck with a new coil locally, so come back and done a bit of messing about, I'm pritty sure the problem is on the electrical side of things. With a battery voltage of 12.7v I'm seeing at the resistor 12.7v at the input but on the output side I'm seeing 3.8v does this seem a little low ? On cranki...

Thanks for the info Guys

Ill see what I can get my hands on today, if not will have to order one on the net.

Cheers

Hi, Trying to fix my non starting SD1 engine in my Landrover as far as I know it has all the standard SD1 bits, it has the Lucas Opus Dizzy and also has the large aluminium plate amplifier or resistor which everything goes through (not quite sure what it is called) and the original coil. I have had ...

The Red top has been on there about 10 years now, was on when I got it, she has always run fine with it till I started messing :roll: Im planning on rebuilding the whole engine when I finish all the other jobs. But for now I just need to be able to start it up and move it up and down the drive and I...

Hi everyone !

What would be the standard pressure setup required for...
