You want a Romac damper. APT, or other BMC performance suppliers have them. Try Huffacker Engineering, Speedwell Engineering, Rivergate Restorations or any of...
It appears that no one has one. I've been told, twice now, that if the engine is balanced I really do not need the damper only a pulley. Opinions please....
I tell you the following as an engine builder with experience on BMC A engines, as well as others. If you put just a pulley on the engine, you will eventually...

If you have one of the new Smiths tachs, it may have a large rubber plug in the back, behind which is a set of dip switches. You will probably have to call...
I am finally getting to the point of wiring my 11 and I have a few questions. The most basic is about the fiberglass bodywork: am I correct in thinking that a...
You can buy a new tach from Smiths, and it will look just fine in the car. It will have dip switches on the back, and work with the ignitor or a sparks box....

I already have the Painless fuse box and I agree that it is a useful item, do you know of an easy way to relabel the circuits? Also what about the relay...
Best to put all the relays in one place. The Painless box has mounts at the ends for additional relays, or you can get a relay rail from Painless to mount the...
The circuits don't really have to be re labeled. You have ignition, instrument lighting, fuel pump, fans. All you have to do is run switched power to the...
