MORE MARCOS CAR OWNERS FOUND

MORE MARCOS CAR OWNERS FOUND

2005-09-12 by perronphilip

I showed my Marcos at the Vintage Fall Festival at Lime Rock 
Race park on Labor Day weekend. Lots of remarks on the car at the 
show that included 400 cars. At the show I ran into a guy that has 
both a british import race car, and a wood chassis car. After 
chatting with them a bit they indicated that a little help on the 
racer would be appreciated. So here is some info. Nick Julian in New 
York. E-mail adress WEIRDCAR@... . I told them what web 
sites they should be looking at so he may have contacted you 
already. Drop a line. 
      On another subject, you have been talking about the car in the 
December 1970 Car & Driver magazine. My car is an original yellow 
car. I do have a 5 bolt hub steering wheel, also is an automatic 
car. I have also seen the car that was in Enfield Ct. That was also 
yellow. I don't recall what it had for a steering wheel. How ever 
the Car & Driver car has a rear marker light on it. The Enfield car 
and my car do not have any marker lights on them. It would be fun to 
find that car! 
      This is the first time I've posted on the site. I have been 
getting eveybodys postings. Alot of stuff is about v6 engines and 4 
cylinder engines. How many Volvo are out there. Id like to here 
about Volvos. My Volvo runs hot. My automatic no matter how adjust 
the linkage, I either get no 1st or no park? I need a new down pipe 
off the manifold. Are there any available. Any info would be 
helpfull.                          Phil PGPERRON@...

Phil,

Thanks for the report and new contact.  I attended the Palo Alto, CA 
British show and also saw a lot of interest in the Marcos.  Didn't 
see any of the other 10 Bay Area cars there though.  Maybe they got 
lost...

There are 19 Volvo 6 cars in North America.  Someone should be able 
to help.  Larry??

Phil,
On the temp., check the instrument voltage regulator out put. It should be +5v with the ignition on. It will pulse slightly between 4.5 and 5.1 volts. Mine seemed to run hot, but the regulator was bad. I made a solid state regulator, now it reads 5.0 volts constant. This may not solve your problem, but if you want to try this, I will send you the details for the solid state unit. You might check the radiator preassure cap to see if it is opening at the correct temp.
On the exhaust, I took my head pipe to a muffler shop and had them bend pieces to the proper shape them fabricated mine by cutting and fitting the pieces and tack welding them together then had a weld shop neatly weld it all together. I had to use the origional 2-port flange
as I couldn't find a new one.Will send pix if that would help.
