- I've seen various threads on this, but paid little attention, since it's never happened to me. But now my car has got the bug. Symptoms: rhythmic misfire and loss of power. Tried wires, plugs, points

- Gradually I am going from most likely to less likely causes for vapor lock (i.e., low power and lumpy running after 1/4 mile (consistently!) after being parked a short while while hot on a hot day.)

- I've been wrestling with the problem with vapor lock since the weather turned warm. When my carbs get hot, I get about a quarter mile before I get the putter-putter. As far as I know, we don't have o

- I finished a swapover from a ZS to twin HIF4s and I love it. The car is a 1980 LE with a 1972-ish HC detoxed motor The dizzy appears to be from a '78 or '79. The carbs have K&N filters and AAA needle

- Has anybody ever put a vacuum port on a portless HIF-4 carb? I've given up with manifold vacuum advance, even with a 'proper' advance unit. Seems like a teeny hole well placed ought to work. /// or t

- OK, I've been worn down. The Stromberg will go, to be replaced by S.U carbs. Now that I finally sorted it, the ZS works fine; 25 - 30+ mpg, but lackluster, to say the least. Actually, the problems I'
