Track day at Portland International Raceway! The ol' 1275 is feeling strong, and pulling 5500 revs at the end of the front straight. Temperature 190. Running good! Four laps later, pulling 5200 revs

I've been trying to get all four clyinders pulling a good mixture, and I'm really tired of 1 and 4 running lean. I'm running a Dellorto DHLA 45 on a shorty (3" runners) manifold. I'd like to try a ma

3. Rear hub seals? (score: 1)

I'm stumped. I've had a persistent oil leak from the rear axle that soaks the wire wheels in about 100 miles. I've always blamed it on the paper gasket and o-ring seal at the axle/ hub junction. I wa

Both produce a charging current to run the electricals and re-charge the battery after start-up. The alternator is a bit more efficient at this task, and can supply more current to power higher elec

I've got one, Dave. Unfortunately, it's on my Westfield with full "road vent" blow-by treatment -- no PCV or other plumbing bits. I bought it 'cause I was thinking about going to a nonvented rocker c

I hope you just don't like stereos, as I found your comments about just putting it in a Mitsubishi kind of mean coming from a guy with a fake Lotus/spridget. I believe if its your car you do what you

What do I have against stereos? Nothing. In fact I think a good, loud stereo can be used in place of a rolling road dyno. Here's how: 1) Start car. 2) Turn on stereo full blast. 3) Rev engine to 6500

Time to stop the drip from the diff pinion seal. Can someone tell me what size the nut is that secures the pinion seal? I'm sure I don't have a socket that large, and I'd like to go get one before I

Daryl May asks: Don't seal it, Daryl! The 1275 needs all the crank ventilation it can get! If you start sealing up vents, you're going to start blowing oil out of the rear oil "seal" and onto your cl
