Hello everybody! I just joined the list after
trying to get on it for some time. I guess it was
due to problems with my old email address, but hey-I'm
here now!
I have wanted a roadster since I was 18 (1975), and
finally I found a woman who would put up with the
insanity. One of the local owners (Keith Williams)
not only sold me a '66 1600, he helped me put it on
the road. There is still a lot of work left though...
A couple of questions:
1. I am having the head reworked as the pressure
readings I took varied between 150 and 195 PSI, and
I'm working on the assumption (I hope correct) that
the high pressue is probably due to the head being
milled a whole buttload. In order to keep the car on
the road, I am doing all this on a spare smog head
that should mike out at about 3.235" when they get
done. I have procured all the replacement parts that
I knew about, but someone mentioned something about a
round plate that goes under the individual valves on
aluminum heads. Is this true, and if so, where do I
find them?
2. Recently my headlights started acting up. When
I go to the middle position on the switch, I get both
parking lights and headlights. When I go to either
the top OR bottom position, all the lights shut off.
Before I tear into the wiring and/or rip apart the
switch and relay, does this sound familiar to anyone
out there?
There are some other things, but I don't want to
make myself a pest too fast!
In the meantime, I'll read all the posts and see
what I can do to further deucate myself on keeping my
baby running right.
