The 'Vark is back on the road!
Got the cam pully on right. LAst week when I first tried starting her she was blowing out through the carby; had the cam pulley off a tooth or three. Used the cam pulley from old engine which had the proper marking("New" one had no markings) and used the crank pully from old engine also (had timing marks on the front of engine)
Hit the starter and on the second turn she fired up!. 60 psi at 2000 rpm, temp in right place, runs SMOOTH! Had a leak from trhe water pump, so off with radiator and water pump and made a new gasket. Now water and oil tight-from the engine...
Drove over to my partners house. Lots more power (gas pedal not buried in firewall) parked in his driveway and was showing it off to his wife and kids (the kids painted the new engine) Then we noticed the oil dripping from crossmember onto his driveway. Appearrs to be 90 wt (thick and black; oil in engine is still clean) so may have buggered up the seal on gearbox when we were fitting the new engine. Believe if it was the rear seal on the engine, the oil drippage would be clean also.
Going to run it keeping an eye on the 90 wt level and maybe, hopefully, miracles do happen even to us old fat guys, it'll seal itself again!
Funny thing! Driving back, I was impatient with the cars in front of me going too slow! That is a change!

I just don't get it. Literally. Someone sends me an attachment, usually 
something that could have gone in the body of the email. I faithfully 
download it, and when I open it, all I get is the same old email saying to 
download the attachment. So my question is twofold, all ye who are more tech 
savvy than I;
1. Why does that happen? (A real question)
2. What *is* this strange desire to attach stuff that could just as easily be 
pasted inside the email? (A rhetorical question)
And please don't tell me to get a PC; that just brings on a host of troubles 
all its own. I'm asking the Rover lists because y'all are the smartest *and* 
most diverse group of folks I have access to. TIA!
Cheers!

Because the email application you are using doesn't know the correct way
to deal with whatever the content is (MIME attachment type) and so it
tells you that you have to download it. This happens to me regularly
when people who use M-soft programs somehow end up sending email not as
text/plain type but rather as application/ms-word type. Very annoying.
Compounded when you find out they only quoted your entire email and
replied with 'Yes.'

I don't think its people really attaching things. I think its mostly the
fault of bad email applications. It was annoying enough when I used to
have to weed through HTML instead of plain text (oh the joys of 'pine'),
and its only gotten worse.
> And please don't tell me to get a PC; that just brings on a host of troubles 
Heck no. Suggesting a happy Mac'er get a PC is like telling one of us to
trade our Rovers in for something else. :-) All OS's have their
problems, its just a matter of which ones you see as problems and which
you see as 'features'. [And if *I* were going to suggest anything, it
would be Linux.]

Yup...no problems with Netscape 4.xx. 6.x and up has too much AOL kiddie
crap bells and whistles in it. Keep it simple...
*However*, the search function seems wonky. Tried to do a search on
"alternator" 'cause the Disco's is starting to make noise. Even clicking
on vehicle type, I got wiper blades and wiring harnesses for Series
vehicles, and bullbars for Range Rovers...never could find an
alternator....same story at RN's page for that matter....
