What fuel pump for rover v8 4.6 on edelbrock 500cfm carb

Morning all, I'm looking at changing my noisy electronic fuel pump on my dax. The one fitted is one of the older style that gives that nasty sounding clicking noise. I'm guessing it contains a regulator as there is no return to the tank. It's mounted up next to the tank. My question is what can I re...

Re: Rover v8 misfire/tacho flicker

Re: Rover v8 misfire/tacho flicker

Thanks for replies, it's running a msd blaster 2 coil and msd digital ignition so not sure if it has an amplifier? The distributor has the hall sensor type sensor in it. The bulb idea will still work though I'm guessing.

Thanks again

Re: Rover v8 4.6 rolling road tuners Suffolk

Thanks for replies, to be honest I won't be going to Rpi again after all the trouble I had with the clutch they supplied. I am running a edelbrock performer manifold Top dog and have got a jetting kit in the garage for the carb. I have just booked it in with atspeed racing in Essex as they seem to h...

Re: 4.6 rover v8 mated to r380 clutch issue

Update the problem was finally found, the cover plate and friction plate were not correctly matched meaning the metal plate in the centre of the cover plate was actually making contact with the friction plate drive spline before being able to disengage.

Re: 4.6 rover v8 mated to r380 clutch issue

Thanks very much for all the inputs, I took it all apart last night to find the clutch fork was actually clearing all it should In the bell housing and the fault actually lies with the cover plate, the fingers are only able to move forward 5mm before they but hard up against the friction plate hence...

Re: 4.6 rover v8 mated to r380 clutch issue

Thanks very much for the information, I spoke to Rpi and they confirmed they haven't had a problem with the arm touching the bell bit that's due to them running central hydraulic release bearings on their install, he also confirmed as you have just stated that you can run both flat and curved bearin...

Re: 4.6 rover v8 mated to r380 clutch issue

You can just see where it's catching on the casting to the middle left side of the fork. Bolts are further back than they look

GDCorba this is it with slave removed so with slave fitted it's pretty much right angle to the gearbox input shaft

Re: 4.6 rover v8 mated to r380 clutch issue

After speaking to Rpi they stay to simply shave a bit of the bell housing where it's catching the arm but I would prefer to at least try and bring the pivot post out a bit, does anyone know where I might get an adjustable pivot post from? Thanks Sam
