Subject: Overdrive help

Well, I was getting ready to move my overdrive to my newish transmission, 
and discovered that teh teeth on the inside of the mainshaft and the 
outside of the clutch sleeve where the unit slides on to the transmission 
are badly worn. Probably beyond salvage. As this is a static part, can 
anyone enlighten me as to how this might have failed? It is a relatively 
low mileage unit(<15000 miles) and has always had oil, etc. 

Also, does anyone know of a source for Superwinch parts? RN wanted 234 
for the mainshaft last time I checked. Or does anyone 
have a junk OD with good mainshaft and clutch sleeve they want to get rid 
of? Thanks.

Subject: Scotty conversion
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 1997 07:46:28 PST

Russ,
You are really going to start a heated debate.  I had my 109 SW 
converted from a LR 6cyl to a Chevy I 250 about 6 months ago.  The 
person who did the work wants to remain unnamed - says he doesn't want 
to tackle another job like that again.  It is not the straight forward 
conversion you might think - but it is do-able.  Throttle linkage and 
engine mounts were the primary problems.  You're friend will also need 
to use a remote oil filter.  If he has a 6 cyl now, he won't have to 
move the breakfast or do anything to the bulkhead.

Is it worth it?  In my case definately yes.  This is a daily driver on 
both interstate and city roads.  The LR 6 was not comfortable at 60+ 
mph. To take full advantage of the additional power your friend should 
add an overdrive.  This will allow cruising at an acceptable noise level 
and , shocking to series owners, still allow acceleration and passing UP 
hills.  Gas mileage will go to around 20 mpg - I imagine the 4 cyl would 
be even better.

Downsides to the conversion.  Your friend will not have a geniune LR, 
with all the advantages of Lucas electrics. The Chevy engine definately 
puts out more heat.  Depending on where you live this could be good or 
bad.  The distributor is forward and low - not the best place for 
wading. To try and waterproof, I will soon be replacing the standard 
distributor interior with a Pertronics unit.

Overall, this is the General Motors engine that Land Rover should have 
licensed.

Hope this helps your friend,  If he has any other questions, he can 
E-mail me directly.

Hello,

I had asked about an application that I can look up to use for ignition
(spark plug) wires for a IIa. I found a set that fits perfectly! It's for a
similar year MG. Two leads are super short, around 8", and two are a little
longer, around 12", and the coil wire is around 24" long. Works great!

It was also cheaper than the individual wires, and comes with a lifetime
warranty! I wonder if they know what they're doing, offering a lifetime
warranty on a Land Rover part?? ;-) Just like the eveready bunny, they keep
going, and going...

BTW I still can't pass emissions... seems that I have a burnt or damaged
valve. Sigh... looks like a valve job is in the near future.

Thanks again Norm, it's been a pleasure.  (and the price was right!)

PS.  The manner in which the lenses are held onto the body is another
story.  Captive nuts held in a cage that clips into the light housing.
Finding the correct size screws was the least of my worries;  I was able to
find the same arrangement of cage and nut (wrong size nut) at Davis Lumber
and Hardware.  I bought the right size nut, pulled the wrong size out, put
the right size in then put the funny little contraption into the housing.
Put the new screws through the lenses and then thread them into the nuts,
wham, DONE!

Subject: Killer Force

I have tried several places with little success to obtain "Killer Force" the
movie with Telly Savalas and a few other notables (and Lots of Land
Rovers!).  Then I was mucking around in the Internet Movie DataBase
(www.imdb.com) and there was a link to <http://www.reel.com/> as being a
vendor.  

I didn't expect much, but it was only a click away so I checked it out.
They claim to have every movie released on video (or something like that).
Well, they had no entry for Killer Force, so I sent off an e-mail to
customer service complaining, and got a couple of notes back explaining that
it was an oversight, that it just hadn't been added, and that all was well now.

So I checked it out again, and sure enough, the web page said it could be
ordered for the paltry sum of $8.99 (I think) USD.  Well, I put in an order,
not expecting much.  (I had previously placed orders with Tower and
Blockbuster only to be told later that they couldn't get it.)  Sure enough,
after a day or two, I got an email saying it was backordered and they'd send
it as soon as they could.

Well, a couple of months went by and I didn't get it so I forgot about it.
Then, the day before xmas, mr. postman drops off a small box.  I opened it,
wondering what I'd ordered now, and there, to my surprise, was Killer Force! 

The moral to this overly long message is, if you want a copy of Killer Force
and haven't been able to find it, check out Reel.Com.  (Now to go see if
they have Amazon Women on the Moon... 8^))

Subject: Misbehavin' Weber

I'm having an unusual problem with my Weber carb on my S3.....I try to adjust it, pour 
carb cleaner in it and do everything I can think of, and still I get this rough idle, and 
smelly (even for a Rover) smokey exhaust no matter what.   When I adjust the idle mixture 
screw, very little (nothing actually) happens, so I'm unscrewing it farther and farther, to 
see if it makes a difference, until it comes completely out.   Great, it'll probably stall now.

Not so fast, amigo.   The revs pick up, I adjust the idle speed down to a respectable 6oorpm 
and voila! no smoke no rough idle no mixture screw!   It runs like a charm.

What gives?  I have this nagging feeling that I shouldn't be driving around with out a 
mixture screw in place, but nothing would surprise me.  

If anyone can steer me in the right direction, or give me a hint as to what's going on, let 
me know as I have about 5 days to get this sucker running before I head back to sunny 
Ontario (thankfully not in the Rover!)

 I've got a junked NADA, and back when I was contemplating fixing it up, I
measured and figured a chevy 6 would fit provided I used an electric fan.  But it
would have been an extremely tight fit!

This is the single barrel carb?  A 34 ICH or some such?  I haven't had one
of these apart, so I don't know what the idle mixture screw adjusts.  (In
order to effect the change in mixture.)  But in general, you should be
able to stall the thing with the mixture screw.  If you can't, there is
something else wrong.  It sounds like you are running rich, at least at
idle.  What do your plugs, and tailpipe tell you?  If that is the case,
then maybe the float is too high, or the main jet to big.

Subject: 100" Hybrid

Hi all!
    Hope everyone had a good Christmas.  I sure did.  Got my LR on the 23rd
and I've already got a few problems/questions.  First of all, let me explain
what I've got.  It's a series II/IIA/III LWB that is sitting on an early
Range Rover chassis.  Apparently, two different people must have built this
vehicle, one a perfectionist and one a slacker.  Where the body was
shortened to fit the 100" wheelbase, the work is excellent.  However, the
fabricated radiator support for the 90 grille and bonnet left the whole
front end about an inch off center.  All in all though, it's a good looking
vehicle, with a truck cab, bucket seats, overdrive, and 4.77 diffs.

   My first question is this (apparently the Prince strikes hybrids, too!):
the right turn signal blinks fine, but the left does not blink at all!  No
bulbs are blown, they just won't blink.  Any ideas?

    My second question is this:  Behind the V-8 is an LT95, the transmission
used in Stage-1's and early RR's.  It has a vacuum actuated Diff lock, and
the actuator has been removed.  Does anyone in the states happen to have a
spare one, or should I try to get one from the U.K.?  Has anyone fabricated
a manual lever to do the job?

    I'll dig out the digital camera and put it on my website for those who
would like to see it.  Thanks in advance regarding the above questions!

While we're on the subject of Webers, what are those of you with two barrel

on the stock jets. When I set the PCV valve up however it was lean. I went

Disclaimer:  I am not an expert, nor do I have a fully functional memory system!

Most NAS 88's and 109's are the same from the bulkhead forward.  However,
iirc, in '67, in response to the US customer's desire for a bigger, beefier
engine, LR came out with a 6cyl 109".  This one is a bit different; one of
the changes is (I think) moving the battery under the seat instead of in the
engine compartment.  As I understand it, the engine area is somewhat
enlarged as well. 

Now, I may be completely wrong, or just partially, but that's as I recall
it.  Of course, I'm sure someone here can offer facts...  8^)

Thanks for the movie databases.  I already have a copy of `Killer

I have 170 main 165 (160?) secondary, with a PCV.  Seems a bit rich, but
not so much that I have done anything about it.  I have the Pierce

As I already stated it is located in Malta (That small piece of land in the 
middle of the mediterranian.)

The S3 needs some rust proofing in the bulkhead but nothing series.  I have tried 
to keep corrosion to the minimum but as you well know rust can never be stopped. 
The chassis is in good shape and needs only a small patch.  I have taken care of 
the chassis so that it will last longer.  Drivetrain is in excellent condition 
with no oil leaks except rear engine seal.  
I can achieve up to 60mph without overdrive and responds well to the gas pedal. 
The enterior has been fully refurbished and I can supply the paint code if 
necessary.

Do not hesitate to ask more info

Braman,

Those teeth don't seem to get enough oil, even though the transfer case is

overdrive (I still haven't rebuilt it yet. In fact, I haven't touched it since
I placed it on my kitchen floor!), and I clearly remember smothering the teeth
with bearing grease, when I installed it.

As for replacing the gear/shaft with a good/used one - I wouldn't, and I'm a
guy that'll use lots of good/used engine/tranny parts. There are just some
parts that should be replaced with new, and these are two of them. NEVER skimp
around with drive parts!

Superwinch, according to LRO's issue on rebuilding overdrives, supplies you
(upon request) instructions for rebuilding them, and I believe, the article
said that you can obtain replacement parts from them directly. If not, I know
that they mentioned somebody that did supply them. I'll have to dig that one
out again, unless somebody here can enlighten us.
