Ah nice one, cheers for the heads up on the SD1 shout guys.
Ordered one off the bay.

Thanks again

Afternoon all. As the title suggests, we are after a new clutch slave cylinder for our Marcos 3.9. Now the numbers that we have are either LB13dc002a, or 99364 q396 (taken from the body of the casting). Now apparently the people to go to would be PowertrackBrakes.co.uk but I'm getting nothing on the...

Must say guys, thanks soo much for the amazingly deep description. I have no reason to question, if the coil is the correct for this car, or whether the resistor was added afterwards or not due to the car running very well before the rebuild began with everything hooked up. Many Thanks again gents, ...

Ok Appologies. Totally my fault here. Seems my memory fails me sometimes. The item im on about is on the side of the coil pack, the ignition amplifier can be seen in the background. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s268/jomeo69/Marcos%20restoration/DSC00007.jpg It seems quite simple but has the gu...

Sorry ive been away for a while guys. Thanks for the help, but that isnt the one. It looks like a little rectangular beige or white block on the side of the dizzy, with maybe two or three pins. cant seem to find an image on the internet of it but ile know it as soon as i see it. Hope this helps. Man...

Afternoon all. Been quiet for a while but thought id say hi. Anywho.... Our Marcos is undergoing a rewire of the engine and dash electrics atm, but the ballast resistor on the side of the lucas Dizzy has thrown us a bit, as we cant for the life of us remember how its wired in?? If anyone could shed ...

Must say id be interested in a set as well if there is the option TC???

Approx 900kgs apparently so all in all a light car. its not used for many launches like the ones at prescot but we would just like it to be reliable if the mood does take us.

Afternoon all. Ok we are slowly starting the winter rebuild of our car. Has a 3.9i V8, Lt77 Gbox and ford 7 inch diff (not sure which ratio) defo not lsd tho. The querie we have is our car was designed and built to have 216/60 14's on the rear but the previous owner fitted 245 section 17inch wheels ...

Ok that seals it,

Pictures and videos i believe are the order of the day.
It looks awesome.

Thought id post this in this topic as its to do with engines i guess. Managed to somehow find this. http://books.google.co.uk/books?q=related:ISBN1903706173&lr=&id=gmSavy1RPxEC&sa=N&start=0 Should make interesting reading. I believe they are all complete and available to view online....

The alternator is off a 3.9. other than that i have no idea what output it is or what spec. Is there any way to check without knowing the thing inside out?? It os the current one that has been on the car since we have owned it but we were not sure either the battery was charging rite or the alternat...

As the title suggests. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s268/jomeo69/DSC01864.jpg On our car there are only two connections used. The smaller spade connector and the middle large spade connector in the block of three. The other three are not used. Is this normal?? On our other car the single nut c...

Yes as far as we know its totally standard.
Is it worth getting it mapped to take out the issue at 2750 or would that do more harm than good as its running very well at the moment??

Hey guys. Had our V8 Rolling Roaded today to see what was going on. All in all a good session with some interesting outcomes. Im pretty sure its all in order and running well. Smooth power curve but there is a area of slight concern. if anyone knows what it could be it would be really cool to know. ...
