I just saw this thread. This my 1976 XJC Engine bay. Its a work in progress!

out of the car


When it was in an XJ6

 

It took a LOT of hours to get it looking like this, so I can more than appreciate what some of your engine compartments look like. I know what it takes to get there. Congrats!!

 

 

Doing engine compartment work - wiring / exhaust / a/c work.

 

Here is my engine after the fuel injection conversion was completed.

 

What, where is that air filter from? Larry Louton

 

Custom made by a guy in Arizona. Housing is fiber and filter is K&N. Contact me if you want the address and phone. Cost was about $250.00 for all of the cold air kit...connections to the throttle body we're not included.

 

I used a XJS V-12 air cleaner that I reversed the paper filter into and then used a elbow bend to hook up to the air mass meter of the AJ-16 SC engine. Looking at Roger's set-up I would have to make another bend to get to the clean, cooler air. Thank you for the info, But mine is done, Moving onto a leaking rear main seal, Then some collapsed front subframe bushings. Larry Louton

Hard to see the stand alone intercooler.


Should have dusted first.

 

 

&this is after a clean up lol

 

I really need to finish this......

 

 

 

I spent a bit of time on the polisher as I was rebuilding the carbs. The balance tube is actually made from the original EGR port.

 

Your wipers are messing with my head……

 

You didn't say it had to be in the car...

 

I had left my Series 3 XJ6 in storage during the Covid crisis. We don't have a mouse problem in our area but we do get rats.
I need not have worried as it was being very well guarded by a carpet snake which is a local type python. They are not venemous but can bite.

well guarded

very comfortable

 

In the form of video:

 

Runs pretty good for having been dormant for 10 years, even if it is a little rough and rocky.
