Ross--
Good to hear from a fellow early Mark owner.
My plans for the motor are to slip it over the side when I get the spare 1500
motor rebuilt. This will be in the next 2-4 months if plans work out. The
existing motor is working now. Loose, but working. It has 185-200 lbs on
each cyl, but also lots of blowby. Not surprising for a worn high
compression motor. I will keep your letter and let you know when I get on
with the project. If it keeps running well, my motivation might be low.
Especially if I am short the spare change to rebuild the 1500.
Regarding the mailing list, I liked the real time posting better, but I can
live with digest. Responding takes al little different routine.
Do you have any spare parts for your car? I have tons of small stuff.
Coils, brake drum, odds and ends. A couple of spare wire wheels.
I need door latches. Any help? These rotating handle doors are really rare.
I guess only the MGA had a similar latch, but it does not really fit right.
Either way, the ones I have don't work. One door wont close, the other
won't open.
