Re: Starter solenoid switch

Thaks, you are right. Was more of curiosity. Allways wanted to know how things looks on the inside. Have got hold of a replacement and car is back to normal service. It’s a reproduction part and obviously cheaper made. But the original lasted 60 years and this will probably outlast me. Maybe I open ...

Re: Luggage compartment light 1965 3.8s

Hi. I know this is an old thread but it came in handy. My boot light didn’t work, so I was looking for a switch working with the boot lid. Could not find any, the reason for that I found in this thread. Could not find it in the wiring diagram either, but I could see it was wired up to the number pla...

Re: Interior light door switch

Thank you. Easy enough when you know were to look. Can hardly believe I didn’t find it as I looked in there, but obviously not good enough. Is your car rewired in some way? I don’t really understand your rewire a new earth from one of the lights. As I understand the wiring diagram the lighs are «hot...

Re: Oil pressure.

Thanks, my mind is at rest.. Traveling at lower rpm last trip, I have definitely higher ( indicated ) oil pressure at 1800 rpm than at 2200 rpm. This is the case whether I deacrease down to 2200 or increase up to 2200. Same story with pressure at 1800. But again, it is almost 60 years old. Maybe bee...

Re: Oil pressure.

Thanks Glyn. I dismantled the pressure relief valve and it looked as it should. And I think there is not much that can go wrong there. Maybe spring tension, not very likely unless someone fitted wrong spring. Didn’t do anything else and have just completed a 70 miles drive on a dual carriage road. H...

When hot and idling off scale other end, indicates really nothing, 0 psi. At 3000 rpm a little above 30psi. Running on a 20/50 «classic oi...
