1970 Jaguar XJ6

hoi jan
the engine sounds good,,,he pulls the nose up sharply
He quickly runs through the gearbox around
if I count well then you are at 150 km already in fifth gear
how high rpm, the engine runs,,,,you switch at 6000 rpm ??
if you do not go so high ??

A very short complement to the sound clip posted a few days ago, this time a bit more of the exhaust tone.

And some nice views, autumn afternoon, somewhere in the Scandinavian countryside.




Testing the rev limiter, laying out the rubber.....

That noise would make the devil run to his mother crying,what a car !

Hi Django

Glad to help you with the TS settings if possible. Problem is that I'm right now away from home fore some time, a bit lack of good pc supply so a picture has to wait until later.

Ignition settings - options/wheel dec -

Spark mode : toothed wheel
Skip pulses : 3
Ignition input capture : Rising edge
Spark output : Going high
Number of coils : single coil
Spark A output : I'm using the JS10, depends on hardware config.
Trigger wheel input : single wheel with missing tooth
I'm using a modified 60-1 wheel with one more teeth removed to make it a 60-2, also relocated some 90 deg, nothing at all necessary.
Gives a BTDC tooth #1 angle of 83 deg (only useful for this t.w. spec)
Wheel speed : crank
Fixed advance : use table
Use prediction : 1 deriv prediction
Cranking dwell : 6.0
Cranking advance : 10.0
Dwell type : standard dwell
Nominell dwell : 2.8
Spark Duration : 0.9
Spark hardware latency : 0

Will post some pics of the TS settings when I'm back home, hope to in a week or two.

/cheers

Hi All,

My name is Daniel and I am Jan's son.
In case you have been wondering about the inactivity on this thread, I am sad to say that Jan passed away in May last year after short illness.

Last time I looked in the thread, I saw that all of the images where gone. Apparently "Photobucket", the website he uploaded the images through, suddenly charged every user alot of money to access the images. A real bummer. I then took the role of a detective to find the right images and fill in the blanks. Having done that, I now saw that the images are back!

Anyways, even if my father is not still with us, the Jaguar is! And it is a true pleasure to drive.
Since I live quite far from the car at the moment, the project is more about keeping it in good condition.
But that doesn't say I won't take it up in the years to come. I have a couple of ideas in mind.

Furthermore, I would like to thank all of you for your interest. Jan was truly happy for all of the response, and he wrote
in the forum for as long as it was possible.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will try to answer as best as I can, even if I am not as knowledgeable
as Jan was.

Stay tuned,

/DanielM

RIP Jan.

Daniel,thanks for letting us know.

Hope the happy memories about your dad and fettling with his car help you through the tough times.

Looking forward to updates!

Greetz.

RIP Jan and sorry for your loss Daniel. This project was a big inspiration (half of the reason I got a S1 XJ6 myself) and I've always enjoyed Jan's craftsmanship and willingness to help. Good to know his legacy will be in good hands!

Sorry for your loss,

But as above, pleased to hear you are going to carry on with his build, and will look forward to updates whenever they come
