My project car MTRV8R was on a dyno recently and was doing about 135kW
at the rear wheels. That's about the same as a Brock 5litre does
standard.

Its a long way off the goal of 300Hp I had for the motor, but
apparently it is caused by my set up being off. The cam is too mild
(for the extensive manifold and flow improvements) and causes
"overfilling" the cylinder... a problem I never knew existed.

Thanks mate i was just looking for something to compare mine to as im
aiming for 300HP @ the wheels and a 12 second pass. once i have got
there i will post a copy of my Dyno sheet on here.
I had it Dyno'd running straight gas through a gas research carby it
would die off at 4500rpm as the gas carb was at its limit as i needed
2 gas carbies. my cam starts at 3300rpm and goes to 6400rpm so i cant
wait to get it to its power curve on petrol. all i got was 165.1 Rwhp
and 660lb torque.
I have upgraded the extractors,exhaust system,cooling system,the oil
supply and rebuilt the drive line and changed the diff gears from the
standard 2.92 ratio so now all i have to do is upgrade the ignition
again as it already runs and electronic (BITSA) Distributor. oh and
the carby is a #14054 Edelbrock 600cfm unit. and im so pleased i
finally got around to buying some new rims for the old girl 18x8.5
really fills the guards now. well thanks for the quick reply's
and thanks ill start looking for the correct part number #8548.

My engine builder tells me that the P76 V8 is capable of 280bhp with
a 4bbl carb, some head work, bigger valves, cam, extractors etc using
a 5,500rpm redline. More rpm would produce more hp but the bottom end
of the P76 V8 is not suitable for reliable high revs without
reinforcing the bottom end with a girdle etc. Certainly more hp is
achievable but at the expense of drivability.

The MSD distributor that fits the P76 V8 is model number 8548 to suit
the Buick 215.

I have bought 3 of these from the U.S recently, and are an excellent

Hi James

Re quickest time down the quarter using a Leyland V8 in a P76 I do not know
but in non standard applications some very quick times have been set both
here and in NZ.  Re horse power I have been told of figures on a dyno of
approx 425 with late model fuel injection systems and other mods but can not
confirm them.  In standard carb and points configuration strong performers
in the range of 300 to 320 have been claimed by people but I can not confirm
them either.

Hi guys a couple of months back some one off this forum sent me a
message saying that the Buick Nail Head's MSD distributor (#8524) will
fit the Leyland V8.
I was just trying to find that person again so i could find out just
to be sure that it does fit and that someone  has done this swap.
Im just trying to find out before i go and buy one from the states and
it does not fit.

On a different note does anyone know the time of the quickest Leyland
down the quarter mile???
Or the most horse power achieved still using the Leylands V8?

Personnally I find the other forum style difficult and hard to use.
I have just joined the Ford  forum for information on how to set the
code for the radio. (another story)Simliar style very cluttered.
This site is to make it simple to tell everyone about what you are
doing in your club, with your car, asking for advice and if someone
talks about a subject that is connected like emisions but not really
involving the P76 then point them to the appropiate forum.
I was interested in knowing more about emision trading.
So don't knock questions give advice to help and let get back to
answering my power steering question and I am sure other have other
things they need to know.
Cheers
Adrian

Hi John
thanks for your reply.
I am having a slight case of heavy steering when I first start the
car in backing out the drive and turning the wheel as i go onto the
roadway.
The other problem is when driving in a straight line and then turning
right or left there is a dead spot, or could say some pulsing .
The rack has been recoed.
The other problem which I find annoying is when after aligning the
wheels in a straight line the steering wheel is in the wrong postion.
I need to straighten the wheel, but find that I have to remove the
steering wheel boss to do this.
Cheers
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

I have done it but I did it according to the book and it worked
fine.  What specific issue are you having?  As the only issue I ever
had was when I didn't follow the manual and I ended up with a
pulsing effect on intial turn in.

Also while we are on P/S I did the mods that are on the National
Website that Hal Mollony suggested people may be interested to know
that doing these mods makes the steering on slightly heavier than a
manual rack nowhere near as heavy as P/S when a belt breaks,
apparently this is because when a belt breaks some of the risistance
in the steering is caused by the rack itself becoming the pump and
moving fluid through valves etc.

Steve can't agree with pulling posts it just highlights once again
the need to upgrade the style of forum, just because you and many
others (including myself) don't think it is appropriate for this
forum shouldn't give any moderator the right to not allow it as it
does violate the policy of having this forum it is not rude, sexist
derogaortory or any of the other things that would justify not
having this.  You are suggesting censorship based on disintrest in
the topic, that would be the thin edge of the wedge.  If for example
we had a forum whereby there was an area to discuss off-topic items
this whole thing wouldn't be a problem.  We have a new committee at
the Victorian P76 Club and I will certainly be bringing up this
topic again to see if we can move to another format style.  I know
there currently another forum which includes P76 and Leyland stuff
but for some reason it is not used.  Maybe if we move to a Forum
which is titled Leyland P76 rather than the broader subject we might
get somewhere with it.

In the meanwhile I think those that still think this forum style is
the way to go need to realise that what has happen in the last
little while is just a limitation of this format and they need to
use there delete key rather than stop people from having a legitmate
debate about stuff they may not be interested in.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has taken the time to prime the power
steering pump after changing the rack.
If you did change the rack and not prime it what issues did you
discover?
If you have what procedures and problem did you encounter.
I would like to know in your own words not refering to the manuals.
Cheers
Adrian

Mick we are talking about Climate Change, not global warming.  Yes
its winter so what? ... except rainfall is below average again....
the Murray River is about to collapse....  Bonnie Doon has losts
it's serenity along with most of it's water and has been water free
for nearly a decade....  Lake Wendoree is empty...  Lake Hindmarsh
is empty...  along with several dozen other lakes in regional
Victoria.  To top it off we had two, not one, but two supposed one
in one hundred year floods in Gippsland last year.

In South Gippsland we've had two one in one hundred year flood
events at the Powlett River.  All perfectly natural occurances I'm
sure.  Climate Change is about extreme weather events more
frequently and has nothing to do with what the petrol companies have
called global warming, though it is true some areas will become
dryer and warmer others will become colder.  But as I keep saying
what has this got to do with this Forum??????     Hence my link to
the other Forum where you can test your theories against other
people.

In 1986 I moved to a house in on the top of a mountain range in the
first 20 years we had one major storm event that had winds packing
over 120 kph, since 2006 we have had five with one gusting at over
165 kph.  That is climate change and the rate of change is one hell
of a lot quicker than you people sitting in your lounges in the
cities are being led to believe.

Yes, we should all check out that forum. People on internet forums are

As I said this should all be discussed in another forum not here, when the conclussions of the science actually start coming out with some concrete proposal which will impact on us then maybe, but I see nothing in the arguments that have been put forward that actually contribute to the debate other than some mis-guided notion that old reports which have been superceeded by more recent reports several times over are trotted out in defence of the now indefencable.  If you are talking about Dr Tim Flannery then I would suggest when you and any other people have the qualifications that this geezer or at least quote directly people with a similar or greater qualifications then maybe your arguments may hold some weight.  Those that continue to aspouse that "global warming" (a term conied by the oil companies) isn't occuring are in serious denial.   Climate Change is here it is occuring and the burning of fossil fuels is contributing to the release of vastquanities of methane which is also a greenhouse gas.
