After several scrapings away at the rust between overnight applications of fresh naval jelly for about a week, this is how it looks:

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
All back together again, working and MOT aquired. All it needed was rear brake adjustment and a new windscreen washer motor which the garage asked me to do because they were too busy and they can't order bits for severiously old cars or bodge modern parts to fit old motors. Nice one, top one, sorted...

Re: Another day another problem.
Sorry, I have no idea but hissing suggests its boiling which can happen when charging if its knackered.

Re: Mechanical to electrical fuel pump conversion
Hello mate, is the oil going into the antifreeze? If so it could be the head gasket. It would be worth using a compression tester to see if the piston rings are OK. Hope this helps a bit!

Re: Mechanical to electrical fuel pump conversion
Hello man, I am afraid I don't know what the extra hole in the gasket is for. Could the diaphragm of the pump be leaking and pumping your the oil into the petrol?? Good luck with it.

Re: Mechanical to electrical fuel pump conversion
Hello, Dai's pump seems to be a low pressure one for carburettor models and therefore would not need a regulator. I bought a different pump which was about twice the price and it only lasted 18 months so I converted back to a mechanical one and never looked back. Mechanical is best if you use the ca...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Coolio Joe, I cleaned the visible parts of the BW35 innards and took a bunch of photos for a chuckle and replaced the floating magnet (not shown). https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16587047269554.jpg https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16587047270425.jpg https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/1658704727086...

Re: M46 Overdrive gearbox available?
Hello, I have not heard of that before and I can't see how it would fit so, like you, I think it must just be a mistake. Cheers, Jon.C.

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Nice one. Having decided the pawl thing must broken, I drained the ATF out to filter and keep for the spare gearbox (waste not, want not) and removed the sump and the pawl mechanism was found to be absolutely fine. https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16585298333670.jpg https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcoope...
