[Roadsters] Newbie

[John McCarthy]

Welcome Mark...if you haven't already.. make sure you go to www.311s.org and
register your car. That forum has LOTS of Roadster info. As for some of your
first questions:

1. People run various oil and gear weights based on their driving habits and
locations.
2. There is an Electronic Dizzy offered for the Roadster...it was made by
Garry Boone, now it's made by I believe, Dave Brisco. The Dizzy works on 1600
& 2000, but he does change the Dizzy based on SU vs Solex carbs (vac advance).

3. Again, I'm not in front of my car, I believe temp sensor is on the head by
the thermostat tower, on the 2000 it is below (connected with) the thermostat
tower.

4. All of the Roadster clubs are linked on 311s.org

Good luck and welcome aboard.
