Another thing to bear in mind is if the trans has an OD. The planetary gears in the OD unit act like a centrifuge, and can separate out some oil additives. That and the possible contamination of the

There are definitely at least 2 castings - one with spark plug tubes, and one with open plugs. I have at least one of each 1725 head, the only question is if they are both here in Nebraska or if one

Hey, it could be worse. The RHD Super Snipe I used to own still had the British market fan blade on it - just 2 blades. Looked like they took it off an old lawn mower. Jon Arzt Omaha, NE USA -- Origi

I would be willing to bet on the booster leaking internally. It will suck up to a quart or so of fluid before the fluid level in the vacuum tank gets high enough to enter the vacuum port. Then it wil

Having just noticed the end of your post, I am amazed. You mean you've had this car since 1972 and never had to rebuild the booster before?? That must be a world's record!! Jon Arzt Omaha, NE USA cyl

Production of the Tiger stopped first, as Chrysler pulled the plug on selling a car with a Ford engine. Especially when Chrysler was warrantying it for 7 years/70,000 miles, and Ford only gave 24,000

I don't dispute the fact that the demise of the Audax body was a major part of the death of the Alpine. But, the relatively small number of pressings that were the same on both cars meant that if the

My guess is they didn't have a low enough (numerically) ratio gearset for the rear axle, so rather than design a whole new differential assembly, they just used what they had on hand. If they had use

I've been looking for a LUV engine on-and-off for years. There are some odd changes made on the 1817cc engines as time passed, too. The head gasket for 1972 is a one-year-only, then 73-75, then 76-82

The kits I've used came with a grey grease for the air piston. It looked like it had a moly or graphite compound in it. I have no idea what it is, but I've used it each time I've rebuilt a booster. J

Some other information on this engine we could use - is the bolt pattern to the transmission the same, and are the front mount points adaptable to Rootes type mounts? I've heard rumors to that effect
