Thanks everyone for replying to my newbie questions thread.  Now I have some
more specific questions:

1.  I took out my radiator, and found a little crack on the bottom. Is it
possible to install the '79 Spitfire radiator on my '78 ('79 titled)
spitfire? Or should I just repair the '78 radiator, put new hoses, and
install an electric fan?

2.  I heard somewhere that a Honda Prelude radiator could fit the Spitfire
1500, is that true?

2.  I removed the carburetor and want to rebuild it.  Is is too hard to
rebuild it following the Haynes manual, and should I buy a rebuild kit from
a company like Moss, or are the kits ordered by Kragen and Pepboys, or
SuperTrek, just as good?

3.  My Spitfire comes with an ignition called Allison XR700 or something.
Can I just swap it with a Crane unit?

Thank you all for your help.

Ali
