[ROVERNET - UK] P3 storey and Questions

Hi All,
Well I got my P3 last week while I was away and just got a real look at it
yesterday. First a funny story well sort of. I was showing a friend the car
and I accidentally left the car in neutral. A while later someone in the
shop called me out apparently the car got moving and bumped into another car
in the parking lot. The funny part was the car that was bumped was not
supposed to be parked there and only very minor damage occurred to the P3
and none to car it bumped. But if the car the P3 hit had not been parked
there the P3 would have gone over a 15 foot shear drop and that would have
been that. I am considering myself lucky and now blocking the car.
Anyway I got the car running and it seemed to idle and sound good for a 1948
vehicle but I am notice a lot of black smoke any ideas what this might be?
It seems to have OK power. Could this be bad gas? It clears out a little
when I rev the car but comes back when it is at idle.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Dirk

Spotted on Ebay, Rover 3 litre, complete car for restoration. Been off
the road for 25 years.

Hi Gang,
Need help with fuel pump and discovered some info that may be helpful to
others on the list.
1) 1970 3500S ----I'm in need of a new fuel pump. Any suggestions for a
state-side source (I will be contacting Ruth Burgess in Canada)
2) I need to know if anyone can give me the specs on the OEM fuel
pump----specifically what are the upper and lower pressure limits (e.g.,
2.5 psi to 4.5 psi, etc).
3) For several months I have struggled with the car not being able to idle
once the engine was at normal operating temperatures (especially in the
summer when it has become especially hot). After many helpful suggestions
from the listers (e.g. blow out the return fuel lines; check the
circulating coolant line which runs directly into the intake manifold;
check your timing, etc)-----I discovered that when cold and just starting
that my fuel pump was putting out only about 3 psi-----this was adequate to
keep things running smoothly, but after several minutes of running, as the
fuel pump becomes warm it actually becomes less efficient (apparently most
all fuel pumps operate this way----hence the listed range on the specs).
As it turns out, when warm (and this has nothing to do with the engine
temperature, but the pump temperature), it was only putting out 1 psi. At
this pressure there is not enough flow into the carb bowls to overcome the
tendency for the gas to vaporize, especially when the engine is warm/hot.
With a properly operating pump which is keeping the pressure up, it should
overcome the tendency to vaporize and allow the engine to continue to idle.
4) My mechanic is suggesting that I find a pump that will put out about 7
psi when cold, so that when it heats up it will still be putting out about
3 psi to overcome the vaporizing problems.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

Time delay, West Coast of Canada to somewhere in
southern England and back to the West Coast of Canada
- 5 minutes!
Rovernet seems to be working well.

Go electric.
You can then reroute the fuel line. SUs also like full float bowls when
starting, since the float level affects the idle greatly.
2 psi at the carbs is adequate usually; SUs don't like high pressure pumps.

Ron,
When I went to the websites for AC-Delco, Beck-Arnley,
Hastings, and Motorcraft, they didn't show a listing
for the numbers in the archive or for the Rover
application.
If anybody can find a current match, I'd like to use
the information. I notice that this list comes from a
1997 archive.

Lance,
Too much pressure will cause the float needles to open and result in
flooding. 2 to 3 lbs should be sufficient. Not familiar with the 3500S. What
type of fuel pump does it have as original, SU?

Hi Eric
The current, 2005, listings for these oil filters will be found under farm
and construction equipment. When on-line most all sites only list filters
for automobiles and light trucks. I did check the NAPA site and found NO
listing for Rover or a cross-reference for the Baldwin BT216 oil filter, By
the way NAPA does show Singer and Riley on the vehicle list. Take Care jb
