Does it matter how much fuel is in the tank? And is it left and righr turns? I remember reading something about rotating the fuel bowl covers, but I think that was for 2000 carbs with hinged float an

2 things to look at. General stuff, not specific to the Ford diesel. Diesels don't really create vacuum like gasoline engines, they don't have a throttle plate, so there is no restriction on how much
Another great option is to repair any cracks with an epoxy,sand smooth and then order a sew on leather cover. Victoria British sells a nice one, about $20.00, looks factory when done. Look under MGA.
If it were me, I would go to a top shop, have them convert it to a zipdown window. Qtr window would be tougher to replace. Dave ________________________________________ Datsun-roadsters mailing list
Maybe the brake indicator is the safety switch on the brake junction block? Does it connect to the Sbrake switch at all? Dave ________________________________________ Datsun-roadsters mailing list ht
Saab used to have a maplight on the "back" of the rear view mirror, between the mirror and the windshield I always thought that was a cool idea. Moving on around the inside of the car. I'm trying to
Now we are on a subject I know, clogged fuel system. If the only change was new gas, I would guess you got a load of water, or some rust broke loose in the tank. If you back down on the engine speed,
Production change came at the usual time, when the bin was empty, they refilled it with the new stuff. Wow, After reading thru the posts, looks like there is no clear line on when the twisties change
First thing I would check is the oil pressure, then make sure the gasket for the upper tensioner isn't blocking the hole the oil come through. Are the chains new when the engine was rebuilt? 1. The t
Best thing I can tell you is stop by the local conv. top shop, bring cash, and ask if they can help you out, that's where I got all the stuff to put on my new top. $16.00 for all of it. Also avail at
I believe they may be referring to a washer with lockin tabs, which get bent up against the flats on the nut to keep it from backing off. Those tabs may have sheared off if the nuts loosened. Accordi
Whatever it takes, buy, borrow or steal,or get the proper wrenches, preferably 6 point box wrenches, to fit both nuts. Adjustable wrenches are not made for that much torque. One way might work, you c
Great that you got it fixed, the gasket was what I was betting on. As far as the "L", 1. You could gently bend it back, but if there is any chance of metal fatigue or cracking, I would cut it off 2.
I have a high windshield tonneau, tried to put it on a 69, was too narrow and too short. Generally, if it is vinyl, they shrink in both directions. Popular theory is let them sit in the sun all day,
Most headers are thin to start with, and way too thin to weld after they rust. I've bought 2 from Dean, 1 1600 painted and 1 2000 powder coated . Used the flex pipe on the 2000 along with the super t
I don't have a spare or a jack in the car, but have a scissor type FOR the car that will go in if I get a spare. :) Look for one with a flat top, some have strange shaped tops meant to fit into the c
Most of what I know cane from just doing it. I did go to tech school, worked in shops for years, but the school is great for backround knowledge, real world is get in there and do it. Obviously start
If it were me, unless you want to be absolutly stock, I would put a 30 or 40 amp fuse or breaker where the amp gauge was in the wire harness and install a volt gauge. Less hassle, more information. S
Didn't realise it was a double gauge, would be better stock with the fuse. Dave Brisco The amp gauge for the 67.5 cars are clustered with the fuel indicator so a single amp?gauge will not work. You c
