Hi All Have only run the ICT34s for a few miles on a 1776 C25 CAM all else standard engine but it appears to be running a bit rich. The idle/primary jets a 60s and teh mixture screw is out about 1.5 turns which I think is minimum recommended according to Redline set-up. Idle speed itself seems...

I'd be sorely tempted by a Subaru conversion. Not a whole lot more than a 'custom' T1 engine I saw some nice stuff at Stanford Hall - about 2-3k (less engine about 1k) depending if you DIY. Also since they can rev higher much more reliably you'll get your 70 on a standard box I would think...

My view might be different from others but here goes anyway.. These busses are old and almost all except those raised in Arizona will have some rust and rot. In Europe this can be quite a lot of rust and rot. However this is over a 40 year/150kmiles period and so the fact that the bus, your...

The 009 is an easy target IHMO. There's a dozen things to check before blaming the distributor. From what I understand the vac part gives some extra oomph at start off and that's about it. A thorough tune-up, timing, points (gap), tappets, mixture, plugs, leads and cap. is needed before binning...

Hi Slammed Sounds cracking.. Can we get a special code-word for E-bayers if we're not camp and caravan club members ?? ;) Cheers JS

^^^ Hmm, what he said ^^^ 3rd picture down from top looks a bit naughty some scoring in the saddles. Do you have any history of this engine ? The Tom Wilson book will help you decode the bearing markers too. Good luck JS

5 full turns sounds quite a bit. I wouldn't worry. If it strectches then you'll have plenty of adjustent left ! JS

Oh, err, I see.. .. I'll get my coat.

Clem You should have seen the prices at Stanford Hall. Early or late, anything in what I would call 'average condition was up for 8-10 K. VGC stuff 12-14K and one mint Westy was 18 or 19K I think. Mind boggling... Still reminded me to up teh insurance value on my steel and oxide combo. JS

Can you use the 'long big screwdiver to the ear' trick to determine if it's one side more than teh other ? Might narrow down to valve train. JS

Hi All Any idea why clutch cable for RHD 69-71 models is twice the price of older/newer, LHD etc.models ? the C&C catalogue I picked up ad stanford said 6.95 - website is 15.95 ! (S02630) JK is teh same. Cheers JS

Ignore that ^^^^^^ message I've been a clutz :oops: Just phone my insurer (RH) to request breakdown and it's included ! Result !! JS

hi all Can anyone recommend a separate breakdown cover, UK only is fine for me right now. I see a lot of you get it rolled in the insurance (e.g Cherished) but my renewal isn't up until August. Used to be covered by a green flag husband and wife personal thingy but I don't think they do it...

No worries - getting some help now on 'Parts for Sale' Cheers James

NOt my van but this picture (yellow circles) shows the rotten areas. Not in any great hurry for this since I need to find time to remove engine, fuel tank etc. which is tricky with my nagging Mrs. :roll: TBH I think just a couple of cuts 6 " x 12" would do it, but I will measure again...

OK sounds good. Whereabout are you ? I travel about a bit with work so might be able to pick-up as it's quite a big piece.. Oh yes how much ? Cheers JS

Hi Shroom Thanks for reply. I'll check it out again. As you say may be some of the metal of the right corrugation ca be adapted. Cheers JS

Hi there I'm after an inside body cut for the rear of the cargo cabin in a bus (not piuckup). the bit I'm after is described in this post can you help ? http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=31378 Cheers J S

Under cylinder tin and rear/pulley tin is I think the same. But because of the 'dog-house' oil cooler on the TPs the front 'apron' is different where it exhausts the hot air. Plus of course the fan housing itself is different and as you surmised the head tins. JS

Bizarrely I only had two out of three lugs on my case so that's how the bus is running right now (missing the left hand M10 one). In fact since I only had two I druilled them moth for M10 and enlarged the hole on the moustache bar. Note that the case metal is very soft so a hand-held drill is...
