I have a spare PAX Front seat for a Range Rover Classic
Stored indoors for past few years.
Located in Portland, Oregon. Available for pick up.
Several useful parts available:
RPI Engineering 4.6L 14CUX Tornado ECU w/ Remote Ignition amplifier:
Used in a Land Rover Range Rover
Purchased and built this past winter. Works great.
Paid $1,300+ for it 9 months ago
Asking $1,000

The lights issue is now sorted. There was a fuse I missed on the brake lights and the flasher/hazard relay under the dash was bad.
Now I'm trying to sort the INOP tachometer and engine temp gauge.
When I installed the new alternator, I had to reuse the capacitors from the old alternator on...
We're one step closer!
The washers worked beautifully. The engine now runs smooth with no bad noises.
Upon further investigation, the alternator voltage regulator was bad. I replaced the alternator this afternoon but had to transfer the capacitors. Despite the new alternator, the tach is...
Thanks for the note on the washers. I assume I just need to remove the pulley, figure out the correct size of washer, and put in enough spacers until the belt stops rubbing?
Yes, there is a little wire running from the back side of the alternator, assuming this is what sends the signal to the...
Finally had some time to work on the Rover recently.
After all your comments about the 02 sensors, did some additional searching.
We found the O2 sensors, they were taped up out of the way and hiding. I'm not sure why.
Engine seems to be timed and running much smoother now.
Also figured out...
Back from hunting and working on the Rover again (did not take Rover).
Correct on the running and poor performance. Tuning could certainly be off as I was unable to get a good tune based on the timing light / TDC and my tachometer doesn't work, so I tuned it based on sound and idle position...
For clarification, I'm looking for and appreciate the constructive ideas. You've been quite insightful.
Without going into a long story, I was mislead into this conversion experience and basically left hung out on my own with a partially completed project when it was supposed to have been...
**UPDATE**
Went through a bunch of checks and found that the engine timing was 180 off. Pulled the distributor and wired it up correctly, was able to start and operate.
Good news is that truck works, now there is a bunch of fine tuning needed to get things squared away.
Despite a 4.6L...
This was definitely an ongoing question for my buddy and I.
Where would I find "Rave's procedures" to verify if this was done correctly?
My buddy believes the distributor is installed correctly.
He's rebuilt several Rovers over the years but this is my first.
