And how many times mechanics have said "darn pieces of junk just won't work right, get a Webber and put on it." SUs are fine carbs but they are different with their own querks. It's not too unusual f
Well since I'm a testing kind of guy I decided to experiment a little. I pulled 6 dome/piston pairs from carbs I've recently done. The dome to piston clearances were all between 1.5 and 3 thousanths
I think that the key is keeping the tolerance tight enough to maintain a seal with the gas/oil in the piston grooves. Looks like somewhere between 3 and 6 thousanths clearance that quits working. It
Just had a wonderfull pizza at the little Italian deli around the corner. Fur fun I just weighed some carb pistons. Two sets that I am sure are original matched carbs weighed within a gram from its m
Since it allways reads high you can put a resistor is series with the sender. Try a 5 ohm 1/2 watt first. If you end up too low bridge the 5 ohm with another 5 ohm(making 2.5). They usually come in
I'm sort of the grunt and point type but I think I would call it a drive pin or some such thng. As I recall I took my angle drive to the speedo shop and showed it to them and explained what the trans
Hello all, Sorry to hit the whole list but I lost the address. I am looking for Dan and Susan who had the Stainless SU throttle shafts made up for the 2Ls. If you still have any I am going to need ab

The must check item is the cluster gear shaft and bearings. After the oil is drained and the trans is pulled roll it over and pull the bottom plate and the front cover. Those two gaskets are still a
Hello all, Randy, the owner of one of the long time visitors to the ranch (66 1600) came out for the weekend. We spent all day Saturday and half of Sunday working on his car. We actually got it toget
Go with the 3 row high efficiency type. That's what I've got and have been nothing but happy with it. Cured any tendancy to overheat and have had no problems at all. keith williams
With the coil hooked up attach a volt meter to the coil terminals. The + terminal should be + in relation to the - terminal. Also the resistor should be on the + side and the distributor goes to the
I like the Kroil and use it quite a bit. For really tough ones try this: Spray with the Kroil for a day or two then heat with a propane torch unitll the Kroil bubbles out of the space between the par
I have put a JC Wittless "turbo II" made by Cherry Bomb on a couple roadsters and have been happy with them. Louder than stock but more mellow than the glass pack sound. Also a good turbo muffler act
