I can not give you a opinion but I could ask a question or two. Where is peak torque and how wide/flat is the torque curve? Where do you drive the car? If it is a daily driver almost 100% on pavment or maintained roads it might be a good choice. If off roading in mountains, sand, mud & rock crawling is important to you...the torque curve should be very important. As near as I have been able to deturmine peak torque should be around 1500 - 2200 RPM. The curve should be as level as possible and wide. If the curve for your intended engine is too sharp you will encounter nothing but problems under heavy off road use. This is evidently the problem in the 2.5L BMW diesel used in the European Range Rovers. But that engine makes for a good flat land/tarmac car. Only you can say what your use is and if the engine is appropriate for your use. Good luck on whatever you decide.

Radio Shack carries different colored spools of wire. I was going to try and stick to the color pattern that is in my Hayne manual as closely as possible. In a couple of places I have made some changes. Basically I want to have each circut on its own fuse and with a seperate color. I am planning on adding some aditional driving lights as well as a rear work light, plus the wiring for the radios. When I disassembled the project I found a couple of spots where the existing harness had chaffed and shorted. This had been replaced by running new wires, totally by-passing the affected systems. Looks like this had been done a couple of times and caused further problems each time. I know that after Wayne purchased the vehicle he had problems with the ammeter not working properly. I found out it was becasue the power to the ammeter had been tapped at one point for the tail lights. Because of the additional lights I was also thinking about adding a larger alternator. I have read the article on this subject at: http://www.thelen.org/IIAAlternator.html and still have a question or three. The Delco alternators have an internal regulator right? The above article mentions shorting out the stock LR regulator, couldn't this just be bypassed all together? If so has anyone done it and pass their ideas along?

Peter, I improvised my own puller with a stout piece of flat bar, a length of 3/4 threaded rod and a nut. I made the bar long enough to reach across the rim and drill a hole in the centre to take the threaded rod then with the steering column nut in place but loose place the rod with its nut between the column and the bar. Screwing the nut up the rod will push the wheel up. If there is quite a bit of pressure before the wheel is loose give the end of the rod a sharp crack with a hammer.

I assume you have no resistance in the steering so that may not work. May be time for a bigger hammer if a day or two more of penetrating oil doesn't do the job. Disconnecting the steering assembly from the car will allow you to slide it out a bit and give you more stroke on the hammer.

I've used the two barrel webber on both my rovers without any problems. Supposed to give better performance than stock though my rovers both came without functioning carbs so have never driven them without. Gas mileage runs about 15.5 miles per gallon in mixed driving with significant hills. Have gotten a high of 17 with all highway driving at 55mph. I'd especially recommend the weber if you are going to use the 2.5 cam as I heard the cam was designed to take advantage of the weber. The conversion is expensive because you also need a manifold though there has been someone advertising kits in the mid $300's though I can't remember where I saw this opportunity. Some people have had problems with vapor lock. Occasionally mine stumbles when starting off after a short shut down but picks up within a block or so. Never had it refuse to run or develop problem while underway. Parts are available at any VW speed shop and assume at any foreign car speed shop as it is a pretty common hop up carb on many foreign autos. You can't beat the carter on a bang for buck basis. The single barrel weber is definitely smaller than the stock carb and is supposed to give a slight performance hit though better gas mileage.

So this afternoon I reset the timing, checked the brakes, set the dwell, and started it up- even drove around the yard a few minutes before the fuel pump failed and killed it again, but that's fixable----- but the important thing is, IT MOVED!!!!!! OBTW, carb cost 109 bucks- how appropriate!!!! 35 dollar core brings the cost under 80 bucks, so getting a dead one from a yard (maybe 5 bucks) would be worth the effort. And Mark Hardig 1967 109 regular "Sheila"(now running and nearly roadable) You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ <- Message 35 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 981115 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Look like pop rivet guns not the kind of tools to set the round rivets on our rovers. Mahalo for getting right back to me.

From: "Peter Hope" <phope@hawaii.rr.com> Date: Sat, 14 Nov 1998 22:24:31 -1000 Subject: Delco Alternator Aloha I have been examining the Haynes electric diagrams for my project (they suck by the way) and going over the existing harness. Have also studied the articles in the FAQ and on other websites about the Delco conversion. I have a 1970 Ser IIa 88" positive ground. The following link is a picture of the 'new' diagram with the delco installed. Could someone familiar with the conversion take a look and let me know what they think? Many thanks.
