September, '62, given the lead times of a magazine, might be referring to
a 1622 B-series in an A, not an 1800. Also, for whatever reason,
published torque and HP ratings went up with the 5-main engine (94->98,
107->110), though that doesn't seem to be what is shown here.
paul.hunt1@virgin.net had this to say:
>The Leyland Workshop Manual quotes 110 lb.ft. at 3000 rpm for the HC and 105
>lb.ft at 3000 rpm for the LC, both significantly higher than the 80/63
>quoted here. Any ideas why?
