1961 m37b1 So about 20 miles into a run I had loss of power followed by a bang and some white smoke from exhaust. Pulled over and radiator had over pressured and the top tank had blown apart at the seams (incorrect rad cap) Temp gauge wasn’t working Radiator is being re built. I have taken the...

Thanks can’t find it in the tech manual by replacing them one at a time what am I listening of out for to know which ones right? Thanks

Stupid question time previous owner of my 61 m37 has installed civilian ht leads which have a tendency to pop off the distributor My question is how do I work out which lead from the distributor goes to which cylinder? theres no numbers apparent on the distributor thanks

Looks like I need a new clutch ive changes an m38a1 but not an m37 I’m told the WC clutch kits are the same as the m37 is this true? Looking at the manual it would appear it can be replaced by removing the transmission- I take it there’s no need to remove the engine/power pack plus any...

Guys these are the hood numbers on my newly acquired M37 - 3B7396- can anyone tell me if these appear to be be in the right format and also if so is there anyway to trace its history? Thanks

Hi - wipers do work but not as well as they used to However, I have now cleaned out the oil , put it back together and back on the engine. Starting has definetly improved and wipers are better So hopefully it was the aforementioned hydrolic lock

Thanks for the reply

Hi ive taken the floor plates out & taken off the inspection plate to the bell housing The noise is definitely coming from the disc it looks like its either vibrating or is off centre Unfortunately i replaced it in a field at a show and it was all a bit rushed Engine coming out again...

Checked the free play and it's as per the manual I was ill advised at the time regards replacing - oh well engine out it is I seem to remember the bearing seemed pretty stuck in place - is there a technique in removing it? Also is there anything else I should replace while I got the engine out ?

Didn't replace the bearing (guess I should) not aware if it got damaged . Yes it only happens when pedal is depressed, Can it be replaced without removing the engine do you know?

Ok - my clutch went on way to a show in July Whilst there I purchased a new clutch (pressure plate & disc) , and managed to take engine out, fit new parts then engine back in (all in the middle of a field!!) old disc was well worn however now when clutch pedal is pushed in & a gear is selected...
