Can anyone tell me what I would need to fit a 1275 engine into the moggie. I know I would need all the ancillary, s to the engine. But will the 1098 gearbox fit onto the engine, can I use the exhaust system from the 1098. Will the engine fit straight into the car or would I need to alter any mountin...

Since fitting the correct speedo for the 1098 engine I have a slight problem. The fuel gauge is reading back to front i.e. when fuelled up it reads empty and as it is being used the gauge rises towards the full mark. So what do I need to do cheers

I am trying to figure out why the fuel guage is always reading full. It was okay until I fitted some guages to the voltage stabiliser. The guages using the voltage stabiliser are water temp and volt/battery guage. The volt/battery guage is working perfect but I have noticed that the temp guage needl...

If I were to fit an alternator to the car to replace the dynamo what parts would I need from the scrapyard and would the electrical connection fitted to the dynamo fit straight into the alternator. What benefits would I gain from using a alternator instead of a dynamo. There is nothing wrong with th...

What is the full SN number on the speedo I want for a 1098 diff and can a second hand voltage stabiliser be tested before fitting it into the car.

Cheers

Which one would you use diet coke or normal ?

Thanks for your help just waiting for a voltage stabiliser so I can get the guages in.

Perhaps you could tell me what the plate is for on the temp guage. CW have got some voltage stabilisers on order ...

Alec this is the metal plate connecting the two terminals on the back of the temp clock[frame][img]

Perhaps not the cheapest but always helpful I have never had a problem with CW. And they are close at hand so a tenner to get the guages in can,t be to bad.

Alec Apart from the live in and the feed to the fuel guage what else is connected to the voltage stabiliser. I have just been on the charles ware site and a stabiliser is £9.95 So to retain my speedo for the time being I might get a stabiliser and run a wire from the fuel guage then that should allo...

I seem to have the wrong speedo fitted for the axle mine is gold faced with the main beam at the top, oil bottom left and ignition bottom right and bears the number SN4477 1376. If I were to get the correct one where could I take a live wire for the voltage stabaliser, what other wires are connected...

How do I resize a photo to 640 so I can post it on here. Thanks

Hello Alec, The car It is a 1956 car fitted with a 1098 engine, gearbox and back axle. It as been fitted with the correct speedo for the axle, the speedo as not got a voltage stabiliser on the back. The car is wired for negative earth. If there is no voltage stabiliser where is the best place to fit...

Where,s the best place to get wire, bullet connectors etc what size wire and connectors do I need for lighting. I am sure I saw an ad in one of the mags for a compa...

I pulled the speedo out of the car some time ago to replace it with the correct one after fitting a 1098 engine, box and axle. In the back of the speedo are five bulbs ignition, oil, two panel lights and the main beam warning light. The two panel lights and main beam warning light all have red ( liv...
