I do like driving it, but compared the replacement, it is fun but slow. The replacement is smooth, fast, almost mint, and while no service history, condition shows it has been looked after, that and the fact that it was once a diplomatic car. And nobody wants the ambassador to break down and embarrass their country, |
back?

Did the Vittesse not have a different drive to the oil pump ? I've got what I think is a Vitesse lump in my Bowler project and the 35DML8 to go in has a the usual "male" drive where the out going distributor has the "female" drive you would find in the oil pump, if that makes sense ! http://anoraks.uk.net/gallery/album04/DSC06034 Bottom one is the distributor that came out, I hope it's just a simple matter of swapping the oil pump. |
and running (with 20th century coil packs, wasted spark and 3d mappable too)
for under a ton.

It all sounds a bit complicated, especially when you could get megajolt up and running (with 20th century coil packs, wasted spark and 3d mappable too) for under a ton. |
under water, need mud ect, none of this mixes well with anything
electronic.

A different one.

female drive (slot) fitting a tang on the oilpump. I *think* the design
changed after the Vitesse went out of production. This site should help as
they sell replacement distributors.

engine for a couple of months, in my example above the top "Male" drive
is what came out and it's the "Female" on the replacement distributor
that I need to fit. Your example on the Mallory is the*opposite of what
I need to achieve.
Does anyone know if the oil pumps are interchangeable between early and
late V8's ?

That's quite funny and potentially stupidly expensive.
This should be amusing.
