Longshot - Hilborn pump

I'm looking to buy a Hilborn PG150 pump, in the "00" scale (sometimes referred to as a PG150-00 or a #00 pump). Not overly fussed if it is a PG150A, PG150B or PG150C. I have a PG150-0 pump but it is significantly larger than what I need. I can tame it down, but would prefer a 00 pump if I ...

Re: Twin carb problem --- FIXED

Can't weld, but I know my way around a carby-retta. Glad you got it sorted.

One of these days I'll publish the next version of that Stromberg Guide. I've got all the info to update it to include the WWs, but never seem to get around to finishing it.

Cheers,
Harv

Back when comedy was hilarious. Not sure how I would explain Bongo to the kids now though.

Re: EK Fuel Gauge pegs to the right on ignition.

Yes, they are serviceable... kind of. From memory, someone here (I thought it was Clay, but apparently not) pulled one apart by drilling out rivets and cleaning... can't remember where that post is on the forum though. They are also available new from Rare Spares. https://www.rarespares.net.au/rares...

Re: Project 2.

The banjo fitting seals with two washers, one of which is up against the float bowl body.

You probably don't need bigger fuel lines.

Re: Project 2.

I'd re-run the fuel line from the pump to the carb in larger line, and use a different adaptor (1/8-NPT to 3/8 inverted flare) at the pump. An easier way out is to get a banjo fitting that runs to a nipple (Holley part number 26-25). Point the nipple down 45 degrees. Slide the flare nut back slightl...

Re: Family Affair Ek Ute

You put a water tap/valve in one of the heater hoses feeding the heater core. Water on = hot air. Water off = warm air because the tap leaks 8) The tap is often put under the engine bay, but can also live inside the car. Get fancy with the tap, and you can run it off the dash control slider thing. Y...

Re: EK Fuel Gauge pegs to the right on ignition.

Don't ask my children. Every time they drive my car, the fuel gauge pegs over to the left :lol: How they manage to get the car home, and into the driveway with not enough left in it to start is beyond me. Ninja fuel management skills. Pegging to the right means the sender is sending LOTS of resistan...

Re: Gearbox connecting rod. Bush needed?

The little bakelite insulating sleeves, bakelite spring doover and horn contact get fussy on how they are installed. Hint: before pulling ANY of the steering wheel apart, disconnect the battery. That sounds like the kind of advice you would get in a generic Gregory's service manual, but it is for a ...

Re: Gearbox connecting rod. Bush needed?

If you get stuck, I have a puller I can loan you. Easier to troubleshoot if we understand what you pulled apart, and what changed. Was the horn working before you started? How much of the horn bar, steering wheel, horn contacts, honeypot, levers did you pull apart to reinstall 3-on-the-tree? Cheers,...
