Hey,
I have got a 9.35 CR 3.5 V8 out of a SD1 for my project. It has twin SU carbs and engine number 11A which all adds up.
Are there any SD1 or Rover V8 guru's on here?
Now, there is a bit of wiring which I am at a loss. There looks like a vacuum canister at the front right of the engine which is connected to the throttle. May this have been some sort of cruise control?
There is also a round plug at the front of the motor down near the crank pully which has a number of wires including what looks like an early version of a crank angle sensor. Could this all be related to the cruise control or am I on the wrong track? This plug is something that you would plug a diagnostic thingie into.
Here are the pics with both circled.
I will keep this thread going if I get answers there will be a few more questions to come.
