Or should I just take it to a machine shop and have it pressed out? An hour of pounding doesn't seem that long, it took me a whole day of pounding first the shaft then the outer bearing with a steel tube that just about fitted in the case hole. I think I even tried a blowlamp on the case for a time. It came out eventually though.

I've got two left, one IIA and the other a III both chassis shot, bulkhead repairable. $800 a piece. Engines are frozen but all there. Gearboxes are there too, condition unknown. Both U.S. spec deluxe hardtops. Much of the body work is straight but the door frames are gone...most of the interior is left too. Vehicles are as-is, where-is (unless you live very close by).

I don't have a winch but may some day. No own experience, but one of the men in our small L-R group went through the Sahara several times in his 88 IIA. Since he had some problems with springs breaking, he switched to hd springs on one trip, with the result that he got cross-axled a lot more often since the wheel travel was more or less nil. He switched back to normal and carried spares. Needless to say, the ride was much harsher, too.

Cost depend much on which Land Rover product you are selecting, ie a Range Rover would certainly cost more to convert than a Series vehicle. On a Defender, I believe the frame is already set up with brackets to allow reverse mounting of the steering box, however the front axle needs to be replaced as the front steering arm is on the left hub for a LHD vehicle instead of on the right side for a RHD truck. The floor pedals also need to be switched over, as well as the steering column and dash. In all, you might be better off just buying a LHD vehicle in the UK, as many are available from several sources. -Michael ------------------------------[ <- Message 9 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970830 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 1997 09:54:40 -1000 From: Wayne Haight <whaight@hawaii.edu> Subject: Series Ignition dwell Aloha, I just gave Kololohi (1970 Series IIA SWB) a tune up, and for fun stuck a strobe timing lite and dwell meter on her. I adjusted the timing with the engine at 800 RPM to 6 degrees BTDC as specified for static timing. Is this where it should be, or will static and strobe timing give two different readings? Also what should the point dwell be? Do you check it with or without the vacuum line connected? On another note, I hade no luck finding the Koenig driveshaft connecting piece, so I guess I will have to have a machine shop fabricate one. Anyone done this? -- Wayne R.

Hey Wayne, from not-so-sunny Massachusetts...
Yes, they are different points. What you're not taking into account with
the timing light is the mechanical advance (the spinning weights in the
bottom of the distributor).
If you knew what the advance of the distributor was supposed to be at 800
RPM you could dial it in using that as an offset, but I don't have that
information directly at hand.
Just static-time it, then take it for a ride and tweak the octane adjuster
as necessary. With these old engines, it's the best way.
