Does anyone know if the oil pumps are interchangeable between early and
late V8's ?
It sounds like you have a pre SD1 engine. I'm not certain but I think
you'd have to swop the timing chain cover as that's part of the oil pump.

That Rangie he's got is ok y'know. I think it's just the ignition module
on the dizzy (Dizzy is a 35LM8 I think),

35 DML8 if it's the same as the Vitesse, etc.

Ask for a Lucas DAB 118 as a replacement amp. It's meant to be a better
design - and I've certainly found mine reliable to date. It looks near
enough the same and fits straight on, but has a three pin plug (only two
used) rather than the two of the original and they supply a plug with it.
I made up a new loom from coil to distributor (only the two wires) and
kept the old one with plug just in case. The colours are white and
white/black, so some Maplin 2.5mm speaker wire does the job for pennies
and looks the part.

Would that be part number STC1184 listed on this page?

I'd need to buy and fit it where the Rangie is now, cos I'm fucked if I'm
trailering it from Manchester to Wycombe .

That will be fun ! 20/20 hind sight, should have fitted the distributor
before putting the engine in :-(
