Here she is 'Lucy'
the lightweight (air portable) landrover. This is the
model that was was thrown out of aero planes
and transported
by helicopter.
|
|
In the winter
she has a hard top on, but when the summer comes around
this is swapped for the soft top.
|
| |
|
|
| At some point
I am going to replace the fog lights for something more
appropriate.

|
Rear view, funky pickaxe and shovel.

Right then, a
basic overview of what I have to do for this modification.
Firstly being a 'landy' the wiring (all of it) isn't
the best, this will be tidied up.
|
|
The distributor
will be replaced by a ford edis4, an electronic module
which will manage
the sparks, and can be controlled by a programmable
controller.
|
|
|
|
The old
coil will be replaced with a ford 4 cyclinder coil
pack, typically from a fiesta or escort,
this will be controlled by the edis4 module.
|
|
If you
look to the left of the fuel solenoid you can just
see a plastic cover which seals
an opening directly to the manifold, this will be where
I shall tap in to, to get the 'MAP' manifold absolute
pressure reading.
|
|
|
|
The way
the new system will work is by attaching a timing gear
to the main crank pulley, then a sensor will read
where the crank is positioned at any given point.
|
|
And finally,
this is where I will fit the programmable ignition controller,
in the ferodo box under the bonnet.
As the unit is not waterproof and this is a landrover,
I guess this
is
where
its going to
stay
the dryest. |
