Robert,
All you had to do was ask. I can mail you a photocopy of the driver's
manual for a '65 Sprite Mk3.
Is your tach broken or completely gone? If broken, there are a handful of
components that usually go first. Go to
http://www.corpdemo.com/tiger/techtips/motach.html
for more details. Not that mine is working right now...
Airflow is normally closed (for me).
I run 92 or 93. I guess you can run whatever octane you want, just adjust
the timing accordingly.
Lighted switches? In a '65? I'm confused.
Send me your mailing address and I'll send a photocopied owner's manual.
Jeff
