The bolt holes are not exactly placed so the only thing preventing the pump from moving around and breaking the gasket seal is the locating pins. Why would they move around? Because the tightened bel

The easiest way to justify one of those boy-racer aluminum valve covers is that they are cast flat on the bottom where they contact the head. I use "aviation gasket sealer" that comes in a small (pla

Ah, nope. JB Weld is pretty permanent. Why not wrap several turns of teflon tape around the splined shaft and push the steering wheel through it? -- Bob Allen, Kansas City, '69CGT, '75TR6, '61Elva(?)

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Is the new advance defective? Plug the port feeding the vacuum advance. Idle different? Acceleration different? Advance the timing a few degrees. Running better? If so take
