I bought my Spitfire from the original owner last July, after it had sat
in a garage
for 8 years. Since then I have spent a lot of time and money trying to
get it road-worthy for the spring. New clutch, rebuilt differential and
rear hubs and leaf spring and it drives pretty well. Still needs a soft
top, and I have a couple of problems I need to resolve before I can
really put some miles on it.
My temerature gauge doesn't work at all. Does anyone know a good way to
determine if a Spit temp sending unit is bad? Gauge?
My local VERY freindly (15% discount becuase I used to work with the
owner years ago) import parts house cannot provide me with an oil
filter that fits the 1500 motor. The only LBC catalog I have is a the
latest VB (still waiting for TRF catalog). It lists an oil filter that
requires a 5/8" adapter (that they also conveniently sell). Do I need a
5/8" adapter? Are original filters no longer available and thus the
replacment part requires the adapter?
Any help on these issues would be appreciated.
Mike
