Cheers guys, I think i'm going to dig out the original stock gear stick and see if that works. Iv been asking around and the census seem to be that empi shifters are not great andbit unlikely to b the gear box as they are pretty much bullet proof. Here's hoping that it's the gear stick so I can...

Iv just had the shifter off and all seems OK with that. Iv had a look at the linkage and that looks normal, but with some oil by the gearbox not a large amount. Iv been looking through the hayes manual and trawling the Internet for ideas, but none of the symptoms seem to fit the diagnosis's...

I have just gone to engage reverse on my 68 bay,but for some reason I can no longer find any reverse. I have all other gears, but with 3rd and 4th now feeling slightly tighter to engage. It was fine moments before when I used reverse in a car park, then after a short journey I went to engage...

Its not the pressure as that is red and only flicks on then straight of when I start the engine. I'm pretty sure it is electrical and have found my battery earth, but I have not had chance to change it. One thing I did wonder though is could it be anything to do with the distributor? I had a...

Hi can anyone tell what would be causing my generator light to flicker during idle and then stay on after my engine has been running and is warm. When it is moving it is fine, and when it is cold it is fine, it just seem to happen after driving and I come to a stop. The engine itself does not...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I will have to have the engine out again and check and replace anything that may be damaged. I was hoping there might have been another easier option, but it seems not.

Sorry I forgot to add that the fly wheel and clutch are also new. Oh and the fly wheel seal is top quality, not like the normal ones around but from a specialist. I have a friend with the same seal and never had a problem.

The leak is like a dripping tap and only when the engine is running/warm. As regards to the seals, I'm fairly confident that they are ok as they were all new and fitted using the correct tool. I have again had a look at the amount of end float and as far as I can tell there is no play/ the very...

Hi, iv just completed ( with a lot of help) building a new engine only to find after taking it for the MOT earlier that there is a major oil leak from the flywheel. This is what warranted the engine rebuild in the first place, so after being of the road for nearly a year I was not pleased to...

Hi, does anyone know where I can get hold of an engine support bar to fit my 68'? Iv not seen any around and my current one seems to be beyond repair. Cheers

Thanks, but I'm afraid your long blocks are a little to much for my budget, I know that you most probably pay for better quality and if I had the money I would be more than intersted.

Hi, does anyone know where i can buy a short block 1600? Iv looked at the ones available from cool air, but on doing a small amount of researce have come to the conclusion that T.E.S. may not be a good idea. The problem that i have is that my current 1641cc failed last year, but i have only...

Thanks for the replies guys. I will give It a go.

What is the best way to wire my blaupunkt hamburg radio to four speakers instead of the original two.

Thanks, but how do I find Graham L? Iv searched that name on the forum, but could not find them. Are they registered?

Hi, Does anyone have any details on a tuning/ rolling road specialist in the midlands? I have been told there is one in Birmingham, but I have no details on the name or location. I'm from Coventry so I think Birmingham is the closest place but, if anyone knows of somewhere closer I would...

Hi, I recently been experiencing problems with my vans engine backfiring. It started with one of the carbs Coming loose and causing the engines to fire on only two cilinders. I have cleaned both carbs out and fitted them back on and adjusted the timing. All seemed well on tick over, but after...

Hi thanks for your telly. I set the plugs to 0.006 as it said in my Hayes manual, I think that that is ok. The distributor cap is in good shape as are the rotor arm and HT leads.

Hi, I have recently changed the plugs and checked the valves and adjusted them when needed, but they all seemed pretty much spot on and so the adjustments indid make were very minor. When i then started the engine, expecting it to sound pretty much as it did before I changed anything. But...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get my carbs set nag engine tuned in the Coventry area? Cheers
