I have the parts for the mechanism but I am not sure how they go together. I am after a picture or exploded view of these parts as they would be if you could see inside the barrel of the distributor. There is a heavy spring, a light spring, one hollow piece of brass, one solid piece of brass, a thum...

Hi, thank you for your response.

Does anyone have a picture of the Vacuum Advance Mechanism components on the 1949 Rover P3 distributor.

Hi Steve, I have a similar problem with my P3 in that it won't pick up from idle. I have posted a reply to one of your earlier posts in which you suspected the accelerator pump.

(again) The first time I did this it leaked from the seal between the thermostat housing and the water pump. The seal does not seem to be sufficiently compressed ...

Is this normal ? I do not have a water pump gasket at the moment but from photos I've seen it does have a ...
