Re: Buick/Rover Schematics?
I've got a copy of the Rover Engine Overhaul Manual in a PDF. Is that what you're after? 817KB so it should transmit fine.

Re: Buick/Rover Schematics?
Very nice, I like the body curves ...very exotic...looks like Miata seats?....are they as much trouble to install as I have been reading?...I see you got the extreme top filter, did you need the scoop for it to clear?....I got the same engine set up but want to keep my stock hood

Re: Buick/Rover Schematics?
Thanks John. Miata seats are correct. Not overly difficult to install, just time-consuming. I've got some instructions I can send you if you like.
The scoop helps to clear the X-treme top as it's "domed" quite high. I've got the "trident" hold-down nut as well which sticks up quite a bit. One could use a regular nut which would help. The problem with the Edlebrock intake is it's height and the stock mounts. If you've got the same set-up, you'd be hard-pressed to get this to fit under the stock hood. Here's a photo taken straight-on to the car with the hood open showing the "domed" X-treme filter and hold-down nut. Next time I get to the car (parked off-site), I'll get a photo with the hood closed to show you how it looks. |
