I'm afraid that selling the car is out of the question. My 27 year old son
has already made a claim on it. In fact he wants it right now. I have said
no to him also. The reason I parked it is that I had the transmission 5th
gear neutral replaced, with the splined shaft and gears. And shortly
thereafter I began to hear a clicking noise in the running gear. I thought
it was in the transmission again, so I had no time to pull the engine and
trans. again, so it sat. I purchased ( just recently thanks to the
information on this site) the Chilton repair & tune up guide, and while I
was reading the troubleshooting section I found that the clicking I was
hearing is in a rear wheel bearing. (I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR ALL
THIS TIME). Now I know the water pump is frozen shut, and the interior is
totally destroyed. not to mention that I was away for a time, and the car
was vandalized. tore the console to get the radio out. took the tires and
rims, and all the chrome: headlight rings, kick plates, tail lites, and
cannot remember all that is missing. If I remember correctly the car number
is #852 . it also has a dual master cylinder for the brakes. and it has on
the passenger side by the radiator, a glass bowl fuel filter. Writing this
has renewed my interest in "MY" Roadster, I think I will begin to bring it
back to life. Thanks for the inspiration. Oh, when I lived in northridge Ca.
I wanted to rebuild my Solex Carbs. so I went to Mikuni Solex to see if I
could get the things I needed to rebuild it. I was told flat out those
early carbs that I have are banned in California. and that he could not
sell me even the gaskets, not to mention the kits. I wonder if, now that I
live in Az., those kits would be available to me?
