Hi all I new to this forum but I’m calling on the v8 guro
for the last 4 years I’ve been renovating a defender 90 1983 which had been converted from diesal to a 3.5 v8 with twin strombergs
so for a while the car would start on crank and then die turned out to be a faulty coil and module on the dizzy
Know the car is running but it smells very rich out of the exhaust but it popping and banging under acceleration around 3.5k I have stripped down and cleaned the carbs new diaphragm etc I found dirt in some of the different passage ways cleaned all that not all of a sudden it misfire when acclerating I’m trying to get this through a mot as it my friends car
The engine is a 1983 with unknown mileage the person that built this was a good engineer, not a good mechanic as he used the diesal wiring loom, and to say it a mess is a understatement
thank you for for any help
