Okay, silly question time!
My first car was two XJ6s, a 3.8 with a fantastic engine and a 4.2 with fantastic body/subframe. Did end up with the right combination of engine and body!
Then found a D type inlet manifold with it's 3 SU80s in place, once all refurbished and installed it was a twice weekly stethoscope labor of love to keep performance up and gallons per mile down!
So, generally, when I lift a bonnet and have a gander at what lurks beneath I have a fair understanding. Sorry, that should read had! Please understand that I still think that carburetors, distribution caps etc are perfectly normal.
Why is there gold a foil wrapped lump strapped to the front of my shiny new engine? Has one of the workers in Milan left his Christmas turkey on slow roast?
Would be fantastic if we could come up with a general "How to do" section, starting with basics like keeping fluids at service levels, replacing filters and so forth. Visual map of engine bay, users serviceable parts.
Would be more than happy to contribute as we go along with details from my model.
