Good evening.

Can anyone tell me if the Lucas Ignition Coil No:- 21C645262 is suitable for the 3500, V8? The coil is brand new, but we don't know if it has a Ballast Resister.

Many thanks.

Julian

I put this question on the OMOC, and had results straight away. a great club that.

What should be the oil pressure of my standard 3500 engine? It's over 30 psi at 2000rpm dropping to about 20psi at tick-over, but the oil pressure warning light comes on.I have recenlty fitted a high output oil pump.Dave

3500 Cooling

I don't have a real problem with overheating unless I idle the engine in heavy traffic in hot weather. I have no trouble at all at the moment ( NOVEMBER).

My question is is it worthwile fitting a Kenlow as an additin for those odd occasions, only I have heard that there is also a downsde and it would be useful to hear from people who have done it or are experts in cooling systems.

I have already fitted new hoses, radiator and stat.

I also have the WET WATER product in the rad which is supposed the help with heat transfer.

I look forward to your advice.
