Yeee haaaa! A 3.8 S-Type! I restored one of those. Mine was
a '66. Man, they are a boat-load of work compared to our LBCs.
And the wood! There's half a forest in a 3.8S! :-) Great cars. And
that XK motor is straight forward to rebuild, if heavy, and has GOBS
of torque. Good fun.
BTW, Kelvin, I still have both service manual and parts manual for
the S-Type. I can scan pages if you don't have the books ot get in
a bind...
best regards,
