41. Re: TR6 Bypass valves (score: 1): Author: Randy Wilson <randy@taylor.infi.net>; Date: Tue, 5 Jul 1994 23:37:40 -0400 (EDT); Not too long ago, I tangled with a V12 E-Type that stalled approaching traffic lights on warmish days. Turned out that not only had someone put a blanking gasket under the decel valves, they had rem; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00065.html (7,987 bytes)

If you can't see it, tis because you have a model that had the lead "anti-tamper" caps. As stated here, just knock them out.

Full headlight current goes through every wire and every switch. With no protection. I ran the standard 55/65 H4's in my B's with n; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00126.html (7,815 bytes)

Jaguar has used D, L, and P-jet. All these systems use electronics to control fuel delivery, temp compensation, etc. The K-; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00420.html (8,722 bytes)

Re: This compression ratio thing' (score: 1): Author: Randy Wilson <randy@taylor.infi.net>; Date: Mon, 18 Jul 1994 22:34:36 -0400 (EDT); Greg tossed out, in part: Ah, but you are making the assumption here that the maker of your 030 pistons used exactly the same piston pin to crown height as the std bore.

The main point I was making is that your calculations assume the new overbore pistons have the same pin to crown height as the originals.

I guess it just shows that a sample of one is not always a full picture.

First off, the bolt you select can not be an "all thread". The shank (unthreaded portion) needs to be long enough that it goes fully through the release arm.

Re: Brazin' Over-tures & Solenoids (score: 1): Author: Randy Wilson <randy@taylor.infi.net>; Date: Fri, 10 Jun 1994 22:42:24 -0400 (EDT); The starter solenoid switches power for the starter itself; nothing else. Well, ballast resistor bypass, but we'll ignore that one. If, when it fails, other things don't work (such as the headlights; /html/british-cars/1994-06/msg00431.html (9,247 bytes)

It's possible the movement/thud you were feeling was a small amount of slop in the kingpin, and the bearing was too tight.

The only reason I can think of is you need more than 36 amps output, and don't want to spring for a 25ACR. The easy way is to snarf an overdrive MGB box.

Specificly, he lists 240 cfm for a HIF6, 210 cfm for a HS6. A major complaint with H, HD, and HS carbs is worn t; /html/british-cars/1994-06/msg00845.html (8,417 bytes)

It adjusts (minorly) the jet position by the temperature (and thereby, sorta, viscosity) of the fuel. You actually get a more stable fue; /html/british-cars/1994-06/msg00875.html (7,137 bytes)

Later HS's used the same "biased" needle. It does avoid the problem of base jet centering.
