After a long illness last summer/fall and a new job this winter that kept me very busy, I finally got the correct Zenith Strombergs and the original water/automatic chokes back from the rebuild shop. When I bought the XJ6C, it had suffered an engine fire and most of the rubber vaccuum lines and fuel lines were burnt badly and removed by a friend. I rebuilt the set that was on the car, but discovered quickly that they weren't correct, they may have been from a TR6, and had the wrong linkage fittings. They were also flooded with water when I neglected to drain the tanks before starting the car.
However, I now have the correct configuration, but after weeks of pouring over the factory parts and repair manuals, I cannot find a diagram that I can work with in replacing the vaccuum lines, reconnecting the auto chokes, etc.
If anyone has a 1975 SII XJ6 that would be willing to share a few photos of the proper fuel/coolant line/vaccuum line layout, I would really appreciate it. I think I can guess at some of these, but am a bit leary after the two engine fires and would feel much better seeing an original and complete installation. My car is the USA Emmission Control type. Also, if anyone is familiar with the water choke systems, where should the coolant be coming from? Since it had been converted to manual choke years ago, there is no indication of the original layout to work from. I can't seem to find any information on this in the Jaguar SII Workshop Manual or any diagrams for the coolant lines to the chokes in the Factory Parts Manual.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.
