What happens if I by accident switches 1 and 3?
Have i destroyed my dizzy??

and the consumption on lpg is the same on carb as on efi?

The self tapper worked perfectly!
Just had to bang it loose from the corrosion first!



Btw: which way does the water circulate?
From the pump, thru the manifold, heater and then back to pump?
The manifold front is connected to the left tap on the w. pump.

Do i have to buy myself a gas mixer made for my 4 barrel carb or am i better off taking the mixer from the efi and mount it between the carb and the manifold??

even better
Will i manage to get at it from the outside, or is opening the pump a must?

Cheers, mate!
I better get on with it...

Is there someone that has done this before and can confirm that this is the way to go?
(To drill the second pipe on water pump on a 3.9 efi to fit a carb manifold...)

yeah, dnb
you're right. They're blocked on the 3.9 as well...
just noticed

And after having a visual on the waterpump , i can confirm a second connection.
Although it's blocked. Is this just to be drilled out - without damaging anything?

I think it goes like this: from pump -> heater -> manifold -> air intake heater -> and then straight back to the radiator... though the hoses to and from the air intake heater is much thinner. The P6 manifold had a outlet in the back, th...

Today i ripped out the efi to mount a 4brl Carter carb on my 3.9. The carb and the inlet manifold was taken off a Rover P6. Unfortunately this wasn't a direct fit. The coolant system is the main issue. Whilst the P6 water pump has two hose outlets, the 3.9 has only one. Same thing with the intake ma...

Ahh... Cheers, mates!
If I'd used my eyes, maybe i'd seen this thread before asking stupid questions!

Now things should be up and running in no-time

I'm putting a 3.9 efi in my LR Series III, but things went a bit out of hand when it comes to the efi electrical. http://danbm.homeip.net/landrover/coil.jpg As i remember the wires where connected before i removed the engine from the old car the solid white is connected to plus. The black and white ...

mmm... of course...
i'll try to clean it up with some brake cleaner or something...

Thanks!
Seems like the screws has rusted, though...
Can i damage anything by having swapped the connections?
