Pretty standard mini (British) things you are finding

You may find no amount of driving will charge a battery that got too low. Alt wont give enough voltage to desulphate the battery. chuck it on a good battery charger and your battery may come back to life

Nice, love beezas, got a b26 myself.

I run one behind a ford, haha. Seems fine to me, only 300hp though.

Coils in the radiator may be part of your idle issue. Surprised it even ran, must be sealed well

External valve on tank? Weird, not one on mine and not easy to get to like yours in the trunk. Guess factory is all sweet in this regards.

Just a couple of things to check. Make sure coil is not going through a ballast resistor and that it has good 12v. Can get really weird timing issues when not getting a full 12v. Also check that the floats don't have a tiny hole causing them to sink. Rake them out and make sure they don't have fuel inside. I had a sinking float and that was an ass to sort out

When looking at BMW stuff I read that you need to replace the coolant tanks and lines as they get brittle and fail bad. Don't know if this was on your model but something to research on the web first. Also read on idle control valve, if it has one, as they can become clogged and just need a good clean out. I.e it may not be a sensor issue. I don't know BMW,s at all so take the above with a grain of salt but own a couple of euros around that vintage

Sweet, that's a plan for Sunday. See you there

Mike who in waiuku?

Also I may have a full wiring schematics if you need

Just saw this, awesome car. Makes me pine for my 2's again. I will own a rotary again

I wouldn't touch my headers that are hpc coated again, unless i want more scars

Ive got hpc headers and like it but how does it compare to the wrap? They still get damn hot

York or Tecumseh - for a 67 continental

Does anyone know if you can get electromagnetic ac clutchs rebuilt in NZ? I can send it to the US but shipping is a pain thanks

My 36 has a solitary vacuum powered wiper. Works sweet going uphill's, haha

Cool car, where in NZ will you live? that will be an awesome drag car to be at our strips

Yep good fan shrouds are like hens teeth. Hence why I fixed mine also. any reason on electric fan, most time I hear they aren't as good as the engine driven with a good clutch. love my vacuum locks, as the all drop one after the other. you've done a sweet job on the Buick. Was the dash a mission and heavy bitch to get out. I got stuck under mine when it dropped on me. Had to call for help, haha

Had to do the hardened grease cleanup on my seats too. Don't think any old yank tank gets away with it. Cool mechanisms though for old school engineering. No wonder the cars are heavy. I see your fan shroud is split too, another common yank issue. I used some fancy airplane 2 pot rain to fix mine. Holds sweet just have to clean up the excess. does the Buick have much vacuum operated stuff? I have vacuum climate control, power locks, cruise control etc. mission to sort as all the lines are perished. also in the process of rebuilding relays

Such a cool car

Have told him and pointed him to here

Haha, I thought you were referring to them as falcons.

Blue one is my mates, will let him know your input on the skulls, haha. The bronze - falcons?

Yeah nice reading material, Candice Bergen?
