Cool Series I 107 pick-up on 38's. He's running a 101FC Land Rover axle in the front converted to disc. A 101 axle is a D60 that came in military and 1-ton Land Rovers. LR springs SOA in the front, Eaton rear axle out of a LR w/ disc brakes also. Chevy rear springs SOA. Chevy 350 and SM465, Series Tcase. I like the galvanized sudo exo-cage, looks like it belongs.

So it works good? Post some pics of the module wired up. Does it run better than before when the module was still good? What did you time it at?

its still got a hesitation. Need to set the timing and make sure all the wires are on their tight. Got sick of working on after chasing the backwards pickup wires. I think every other vehicle out there doesn't care how the pickup is wired, just needs a magnetic pulse.

might take some pics too, but imagine an hei module under the hood of a disco. pretty exotic :flipoff2:

Now all you need is some yellow 8mm Accel spark plug wires so you can do some intimidating 4 wheel smokey burnouts! :flipoff2:

Grayson there is a short wheelbase like the body style you showed for sale on hwy 6. Me and jimmy both thought you would have a hard on :flipoff2: for it!

I thought the same thing but wasn't sure if British Leyland was using Saginaw boxes back in the day

Definitely not stock. They (LR) pioneered the method of having the box mounted on the firewall (bulkhead in limey speak) and used drag links and a 90* bellcrank (where a normal box would go-like the one in the pic) w/ a bush thru the frame to hold it together.

Oh yeah, British Leyland didn't get a hold of the company and start their downward spiral until the 70's :flipoff2:

Where can I get the clamps that are on the springs in this pic? I have a problem with my springs sliding out of alignment.

You could probably get some fred @ Collins Brother's Jeep or 4Wheel Parts. Make your own w/ some flat bar, bolts, and a torch.
Looking at that picture again, I wonder if the guy with the 107 went to the same school as Troy and Garner?

You can get spring clamps at autozone. But they really do clamp the springs, just 2 plates with u-bolts throung them. Good thing is that you can move them to straighten out a bent spring.
