John is out the door, and heading for Dallas. Driving a diesel Jetta, with
a motorcycle trailer behind. He is a great guy, and if anyone along his
route has the chance to meet up, you should try.

Wife's Diary:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet
at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day
long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he
made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we
go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I
asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my
fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do
with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I
loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his
behavior I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got
home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do
with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to
seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to
go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he
was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I
cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with
someone else. My life is a disaster.

Husband's Diary:
Spridget wouldn't start, can't figure it out.

I am looking for a tonneau cover for '62 Sprite (sidecurtain car). Ideally,
the tonneau would be in good condition (no tears) and have the "tonneau bars"
as well. I'm not looking to spend an arm and leg but am willing to consider

Is there a link or image of the Spridget in it?
I've often thought about buying one of these but or cars are only 10
feet long and an extra 4 feet may be a PITA for our short storage
spaces.

Message-ID: <CANuE7YDdguXvtQRiEAvZnS2BvMo_yuBP5TrfWaV6deaTowfpHw@mail.gmail.com>

List,
My father recently passed away, and I need to assist my mother in selling
some of his things.  Among them is a 1968 Midget (Mk 3 I think?).  The car
was parked in a barn in approximately 1973 and has not moved since.  The
car is complete, but very rough.  There is rust in the usual spots, and
most of the original paint is gone.  I can provide pictures on request.
The biggest issue with the car is that the left rear brake drum is frozen.
This will make loading the car on a trailer a challenge.  In addition we
will probably not be able to provide labor to help load the car, so the buy
will need to bring their own help.  Car is located in Indiana, just east of
Indianapolis.  I do not have a good idea what this car is worth, so I am
also looking for suggestions about what I should ask.

without photos, it is impossible for anyone to give you any idea of the
value of the car. It would be like calling up a coin shop, and asking what
they would give you for the coin in your hand. Pictures speak volumes. The
body, close up shots of the rusted area, the interior, engine, trunk, and
underneath if possible, will go a long way to help determine if it is even
a project someone would want to tackle.
I hope that helps

Maybe for the same reason that people cover up the holes for the soft-top 
hardware?

This either has the wrong windshield or it's certainly not a 1961.

I'm no expert on these cars but I bet it doesn't have a 1048 engine either.

Why do people cover up their tag?  Am I not supposed to look at
anyone's tag when I'm driving around town?

Selling a car that has sat, and will be hard to load on a trailer will be
hard. I would post it on eBay with lots of pictures; it will find a price.
Maybe get someone you know to help with the posting.
I won't sell a car on CraigsList; too many people are smarter that me on
that site.

List,
My father recently passed away, and I need to assist my mother in selling
some of his things.  Among them is a 1968 Midget (Mk 3 I think?).  The car
was parked in a barn in approximately 1973 and has not moved since.  The
car is complete, but very rough.  There is rust in the usual spots, and
most of the original paint is gone.  I can provide pictures on request.
The biggest issue with the car is that the left rear brake drum is frozen.
This will make loading the car on a trailer a challenge.  In addition we
will probably not be able to provide labor to help load the car, so the buy
will need to bring their own help.  Car is located in Indiana, just east of
Indianapolis.  I do not have a good idea what this car is worth, so I am
also looking for suggestions about what I should ask.

Daniel,
A straight answer first: it is a license plate, or "number plate" as you
might say.
I'll leave the wise remarks for the rest of the list.
The reason people cover them up is that it could be used to glean some form
of i.d. which people much more devious that I might be able to use to steal
from you.

A couple of folks pinged him on Facebook, no response yet.  Most
likely he has no electricity, we shall see.  Or he's WAY too busy
cleaning up to be sitting at the computer.

I am sorry to inform you all, but I am still alive. We had several come
within miles of the house, but close only counts in horseshoes and
hand-grenades.
Thank you for your concern Jim.

Had to get home from work first. We only got almost an inch of rain here. I
was working outside today. I hid inside while it poured for about 40
minutes, and then back at it again.

I don't get it with these things. The fan still blows air into the 
enclosure along with whatever is in the air outside the capsule. 
There might be a filter to trap dust - don't know. My problem is that 
the garage gets cold during the winter. In the spring we get high 
humidity days. If I open the doors the floor and everything else in 
the garage gets wet - sometimes very wet - like I have to mop up 
standing water. The fan system would just blow that humid air onto 
the car and I know that a few desicant bags wouldn't keep up with the 
amount of water that condenses on such days. A nitrogen filled bag 
might be a better alternative with no air exchange if you really want 
to protect what you're storing. Can't see that this capsule is any 
better than throwing a bed sheet over the car especially when stored 
in a closed garage.

I think that one has had some rear end damage.
Bumperette holes are filled over. Not that it is any suprize.

Strange bar bumpers.  Looks like he gave up on chrome plating anything.

"1964 Austin Healey Sprite with title, and 1974 MG Midget no title, Sprite
was my daily driver before I became a Mom, and then it and my motorcycle
were put aside. Unfortunately, aside for the Sprite was at the end of a
drive into the woods we used to harvest firewood, and then something got
parked behind it, and then something else...then the brush grew up, poor
baby will need to be taken out in pieces. But the pieces! What a treasure.
The Midget was obtained when I had dreams of restoring and the body parts
(missing hood) did not have the rot that developed on Sprite when in
Massachusetts. Sprite has original engine(1098) and 4spd trani, Midget no
engine or trani. Interior is shot on both, moss and brush everywhere.

Am looking for an offer on everything, would work with you to make time for
dismanteling. Not willing to cut trees to bring something in that would tow
vehicles out intact. May need something to cut bolts, bring your own tools.
And probably a couple strong bodies...

Please email through ad with phone # and I will get back to you via phone if
you wish, or through email. I will send pictures after we talk.

Do not want to part, so please do not ask for just a tail light lense or
something like that.

Thanks for looking "

 

"What a treasure" indeed.

Thank you for those, as I had NOT seen them. Pic 20, is of the Kennedale
sign. Kennedale is known for it's large selection of wrecking yards. I have
purchased many a part for my GTO in that town.

I was looking for some T-shirts that feature the Bugeye, but not in a
garish way.  I designed one myself and used Zazzle, but I'm no artist.
 Then someone pointed out this one to me.
http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/ws-114.htm  It looks pretty cool, so I
thought I'd share it with the group.  NFI

Finally I won but doesn't sound like I'll get anything : (  As I sort
through the rules it sounds like I need many many more points I got
100 points on this one and 10 on a previous auction.
I said 27K on a 1957 Pontiac Chieftain 2 Door, Color: Pink/White and
it sold for 27K......very cool!
Well the cool thing is I'm getting better : )

Great T-shirt!  A buddy of mine lives right where Turn 10 used to be.  They
tore the track down and built a subdivision.    :-(

To the folks on the other side of the pond in the (LBC) homeland. We 
feel your pain, we're mad, and not going to take it any longer.

I speak of the Pasty tax.

This from The Daily Mining Gazette newspaper today. 
<http://www.mininggazette.com/page/content.detail/id/524950/Petitioners-protest-pasty-tax.html?nav=5006>http://www.mininggazette.com/page/content.detail/id/524950/Petitioners-protest-pasty-tax.html?nav=5006 

or

The story reads in part. . .

CALUMET - As they did in the 18th century, Americans are rising up to 
protest what they view as oppressive and unfair British taxation.

The difference is, now it's in solidarity with the British.

The Keweenaw Kernewek, a local group for people of Cornish descent, 
is gathering signatures in opposition to a recently enacted 20 
percent tax on takeout snacks. That includes the pasty, the meat pie 
brought over to the Upper Peninsula by Cornish miners and since 
designated as Michigan's state food.

Now look at this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS8DNJt82ss

I was introduced to this delicacy in the Philippines in the 1960s.  Getting
one down was quite the feat for an American. I remember that copious
amounts of alcohol was involved but I somehow won the bet as I had about
$80 stuffed in my pocket when I came to in the latrine...  We were there on
R&R and when you think you might be killed at any time you tend to throw
caution to the wind!

Cheers!!

It doesn't overly excite me either but there are some concerns.
I get it fresh baked from the oven then it is hot and I presume I pay tax. 
If I buy it after it has cooled down then I don't pay tax.  I suppose have 
to live with that, death and taxes etc....

If I buy it fresh baked and don't eat it until it cools where do I claim my 
tax rebate?

What does concern me is they talking about US, the Public, the taxpayer, 
paying for THEIR political advertising election campaigns and I don't want 
ANY of them.  In my book, any politician is nothing other than a pile of 
manure.

Anarchist of the future....  (the future is closer every day)

On my 78 it's about 4 inches inboard from the passenger door, under the glovebox.  Black plastic handle hangs vertically and is attached to cable.  Pull to open.

That works.  I think you're technically yanking on the cable and cable
housing, but it works.  You can also stick something through the grill
and push the cable and housing to open it.

Could be someone moved it.B  I ran a 2nd release to my driver's side wheel
well---easy enough to do.B  It gave me a release closer to the front of the
car plus a backup if something jammed the stock release.B  Check under the
wheel wells--maybe it has been moved there.

There is an old hippie couple that travels the car shows out here in the east. THey have a series of car iron-ons that are really pretty good. I have a green polo shirt with a RB Midget on it I have had for near 10 years that still looks pretty good. They have a bunch of Brit cars, including Bugeye's. I do not recall if they have a wbe presence or not. They show up at the Hellertown show, the NE Moss Show and a few others. I actually have a couple of their shirts and like them a lot. They are a pretty fun couple to chat with. IOf anyone on the list remembers their names, let us all know. Or I can trey to find them through the Keystone MG Club folks (Hellertown show).

Rick,
Coker tire is still stocking genuine Michelin inner tubes.  I got a set from
them, last year, for my wife's B.  They were around $24 ea.   The service
was very courteous and prompt.  Give them a call (they advertise in
virtually every old car enthusiast publication, so you should be able to
find their number or website address pretty easily.  Sorry, I don't have it
handy, right now.

Moss, and I assume Just Ed, has them.

#452-715 tubes for 155/165 x 13 wheels, says they are also for radials -
20.95 ea.
#452-730 rim bands to protect the tubes - 10.95 ea.

If you can help, please contact off list.  Am replacing ancient service
panel and breakers. How do I tell what the old breakers are rated in Amps?
Only marking I find on them is  M0-8 and M0-1.  I'm guessing 15 Amps in
this old house...

15A is standard for household wiring.  Kitchens with appliances and
fridge get 20As, usually.

I think the M0-8 is an old Square D panel from the 50's and I think they came
with 20A breakers.  More important is to size your new panel and breakers on
wire size and the number and type of devices per circuit.

15A is standard.  But, you should check your wiring type and
condition.  If the panel is old then the wiring might be old as well
and could be dangerous if in poor condition.

That is what I heard on the BBC, that is, the vendors will just switch to
pre-made microwavable meals to avoid the tax.  Not much different from
7-11s here.  But it's a crazy tax.

It doesn't overly excite me either but there are some concerns.
I get it fresh baked from the oven then it is hot and I presume I pay tax. 
If I buy it after it has cooled down then I don't pay tax.  I suppose have 
to live with that, death and taxes etc....

If I buy it fresh baked and don't eat it until it cools where do I claim my 
tax rebate?

What does concern me is they talking about US, the Public, the taxpayer, 
paying for THEIR political advertising election campaigns and I don't want 
ANY of them.  In my book, any politician is nothing other than a pile of 
manure.

Some older homes have aluminum wiring. A house my brother is fixing up, had
old insulators (like used to be on power lines) in the attic that the wires
ran on. Just a good idea to know what the wiring situation is, before
upping the voltage.

If your house, or building has aluminum wiring, replace it. It is a known fire 
hazard.

Last year NAPA was selling nice radial rated Kenda
Tubes for $14.  So a month ago I decided to order two more and 
now they want $24 for them and he had only one Kenda and the 
other was some other brand that is not as good. 

I don't like the Moss tubes.  I had one out of box failure
where it leaked around the valve.  They also loose air faster then 
the Kenda tubes.  The Moss rubber is more permeable. 

The Michelin tubes the other poster mentioned are also good tubes.

Just ran across Frank's memorial card while straightening up.  Hard to believe
it's been a year already.  Anyone in favor of making a group donation to MGB
in Frank's memory to keep the place going that brought us all together?

Firstoff, the Sumitomo HTR200 175/70-13s stink on my MKII, they just don't
have the grip that I'm used to in the BE-it slides around instead of following
the steering input in the curves. I have a line on a couple of sets of new (as
in manufactured and delivered to me) Toyo Proxes RA1s in 185/70-13 size I'm
running 5" rims that leave a 1/2" total clearance with the 175s. I think they
should fit OK, anyone have any experience with this fitup? The MKII has offset
springs in the rear to help with clearance, BTW.

The MKII has great power, but starting up on a hill it's a real dog-It's
running a 948 +.020 flattops, 2A948 hot road cam, adjustable timing gear set
to 105* full intake lift, 12G295 head ported per DV, milled to give 10:1 CR,
Rimflow valves, aluminum flywheel, and a 1275 clutch. I'm thinking that I may
have the timing retarded too far, but at 7500' elevation, I'm not surprised
that it doesn't have too much pickup. The only other thing I'm thinking is the
dizzy advance curve. Any thoughts?

Extraneous stuff- Some of you know my daughter, Tamara, Her robotics team just
came back from the Colorado Regional of FIRST in Third Place- They aren't
going to Kansas City, but its the best the team has ever done. Her alliance
was the only one to do, or attempt, a triple balance-getting three robots to
balance on a teeter-totter bridge at once, and they did it twice in
competition!
Tam will be going to Iowa State Engineering School in the fall.

I liked the BFG 175/70s on wires but I think they might rub on non-RWA
cars and I'm not sure if they make them anymore.
I also was surprised by the Kumhos I tried.  They came on some wheels
I got for the Miata so I ran them and I liked them so much I replaced
them with the same.
Too bad there isn't an easy way to get 205/50 15s on a Spridget.  The
Miata loves them.

I like the idea. Let's all do $12.75. That was the best Spridget engine as far as Frank was concerned.

Just a suggestion.

How about we make this easy?  Donate $12.75 by PayPal at the link on the
bottom or send a check to Mark.  Note the donation "In memory of Frank C" 
Maybe Mark could give us a total he collects.  "Pay it forward".

I can never think Spridget without thinking of Frank.

Brad, my brother had a 69 convertible GTO in 1976, he had the oil
changed locally and they never screwed down the plug and blew the
engine by the time he got home. Being a kid they did nothing to help
him and my blue collar parents had no extra cash for a lawyer. I was
offered the car for $500. but was moving and had no place to put it.
The car was dark green we also had 2, 65 Tempests and a 70 Tempest.
Glad you still have your GTO, what color is yours? And is it with or
without window post?

I will never forget Franks humorous term for the MGB, he called it
"MG-BEAST", I always hear his voice when ever I see an MGB......he had
to be one of the funniest guys I ever meet. I sure do miss him and his
wonderful sense of humor.

Black hardtop, no post. pretty low frills, just HP, and plenty of it. I
have not driven it in a long while, but I have had her around longer than
my wife, so I am loath to let her go.

List,
I'm sorry I haven't thought of this sooner, to do something more
formal but how about posting your links of Frank photos or videos
here. I included Diane & Tiffany's address called
spritenutsgirls at verizon.net, so they can get them first. Some of us
are using Facebook to post our notes and images but not everyone has
Facebook so I thought this would be cool.

Below is a video I just uploaded from my work computer it is from 2006
just after I got Pinky and Frank came by to help me get her running
well after he rebuilt the carbs. What a great guy to come up to give
me a hand. I will always remember his generosity, kindness and his
ability to help be regain my LBC confidence.

My Youtube Post:

Diane, Tiffany & Frankie thank you from sharing Frank with all of us.
We love you and always have you and Frank in our hearts,
Linda

"Are you sure Hank done it this way?"

Might be fun to dig up the complete lyrics and rework them a bit.

And a welded diff is really a non-streetable diff.
I really like the Torsen in the Miata but it takes some
familiarization.  You know what you have with a welded diff or a
spool.
A Torsen doesn't really "lock" but it will do things a little
differently when cornering and getting on or off the throttle.
I am not familiar with the correct terms but it behaves differently
than a clutch type LSD.
I am also not sure if the Quaife is exactly a like a Torsen or not.
It is described as a Helical LSD which I believe to be similar if not
the same.  Torsen is a trademarked name.
One advantage of the Torsen or Quaife is longevity.   There are no
clutches to be replaced and it will probably run cooler than a clutch
type LSD.
I know a guy with a Torsen in his 93 Miata that has over 275k miles on
it and it is still working fine.

I think the Phantom Grip and other "diff preload" devices are kinda
gimmicky but somewhat functional.  They seem to do what they are
designed to do but I would probably prefer clutch LSD or Torsen/Quaife
for a race car or serious street car.

In the Bluegrass Banjo world we say, "That ain't the way Earl woulda done
it!"

In the Spridget world we can say, "That ain't the way Frank woulda done it!"

Funny thing is, Frank left us a year ago - Earl Scruggs left us a few days
ago.....

Now we are left to carry on....

Cheers!!

I still kick myself for selling my 1960 MGA . . a car that was very close
to factory perfect that I paid $1,500 for around 1976.

I was moving up to the Bay area from San Diego to work on a masters
degree.  I had a $75 month payment on it that I could have handled (in
hindsight) and it was almost paid off.  But with a new baby (our first) and
the cost of school I talked myself into selling it . . what a mistake that
was.

And then we were living on campus in a nice 1200 square foot two bedroom
apartment in Marin Ca. overlooking Richardson Bay.  Plenty of tame dear
roaming the campus.

On the weekends we would drive over to Sausalito.  I would feel so bummed
having to drive an older VW fast back instead of a top down Brit sports car.

And to think about the value of that car, in that condition today.  One of
the more STUPID moves of my life.

Larry,

You have the HP to make sense of using a limited slip with those Suzuki
engines in your cars!  I am guessing that this is what you are looking for?

I would love to see another video of you driving up the coast highway . .
maybe the next one would be in one of your Bugzuki's.

Hi Kirk

The racer in question if not actually a Spridget, It' an Elva. They have the
same diff.

As I've mentioned I am back at Bailey's working on British cars for the

What did I work on today?  A 1960 Bugeye.  We worked on it a few years 
back, did
a fresh 1275, 40 DCOE Weber, ceramic coated LCB header, put on front

tarted her up a bit.

Just a coincidence it came in for maintenance on April 11th, I'm sure.

To: spridgets at autox.team.net


List,
My father recently passed away, and I need to assist my mother in selling
some of his things.  Among them is a 1968 Midget (Mk 3 I think?).  The car
was parked in a barn in approximately 1973 and has not moved since.  The
car is complete, but very rough.  There is rust in the usual spots, and
most of the original paint is gone.  I can provide pictures on request.
The biggest issue with the car is that the left rear brake drum is frozen.
This will make loading the car on a trailer a challenge.  In addition we
will probably not be able to provide labor to help load the car, so the buy
will need to bring their own help.  Car is located in Indiana, just east of
Indianapolis.  I do not have a good idea what this car is worth, so I am
also looking for suggestions about what I should ask.

Over 190 registered so far!  Overall, there are currently 22 Sprites
registered (7 of which are "box" Sprites)!
This is shaping up to be a great event.  The only thing that would make it
better is MORE Sprites!

Information can be found at : http://2012conclave.com/

They have also posted the Regalia order form online:

Subject: [Spridgets] Slave Cyl Question - I Need Advice
Message-ID: <CAMyxPEJonL+rd8ytsCcMoL4QfHoSKwn8Rsy3SFKrLqeYhJR-cQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear List,


For the last several years I have run my slave cyl with a spring to keep
the throwout bearing off the clutch splines when not in use.   This last
time around . . when I had to pull the lump to see why I lost my clutch
there was no wear noted on the throwout bearing.

However . . this time I would like to skip the spring.  I have been told
many times that the use of a spring is not necessary.

Here is my question.  When I look through the inspection hole on the top of
the bell housing I note that the throwout bearing seems to naturally rest
very lightly against the clutch splines.

I have the rod coming out of the slave cyl at the correct length.  Should I
assemble it all back together with the throwout bearing slightly touching
the clutch splines like it is?  Will this cause pre-mature wear if I leave
it this way?  Or should the throwout bearing be backed off the clutch
splines just by a very small amount so that they do not touch at all when
not in use?

Thanks so much for all of the help through the years!

Kirk

Hello Kirk,

     let me preface this by saying that I don't have ANY experience
     with this at all. I have never had to change or adjust a clutch
     in any car can barely tell a clutch plate from the housing.

     That said... I seem to remember Paul A. talking about this
     situation. As I recall the carbon bearing always rests slightly
     against the clutch plate. The carbon is itself a natural
     lubricant, and this causes no harm whatsoever. Something about
     over 100,000 miles without having to change one out, essentially
     the life of the clutch plate itself, or more.

     However, that WAS with the old ones, NOT the ones being made now
     in India, or China, where people are reporting getting as few as
     5000 miles on a T.O. bearing. With the new ones, all such bets
     are off...

     Someone will most likely correct me,... I'm here to learn too.

Bill,

Thanks for the confirmation (slight touch against the clutch plate).  The
throw out bearing I bought came from NOS out of England.  I did buy one
from MOSS a few years ago . . and as you said . . . it lasted (for me) less
than 5,000 miles before it broke up in pieces.  Very sad that they are
selling parts that are as weak as this.

Thanks for the reply,

Kirk

Kirk,  
It doesn't sound right when you say "bearing rests against the splines"

There should be a small pad mounted to the diaphragm clutches fingers
that the carbon throw-out bearing rides against.

If you are missing that pad then you would see accelerated throw-out bearing
wear.

FWIW, this pad is removed when you install a Rivergate kit. In that case the
Datsun roller throw-out bearing rides right against the diaphragm clutch
fingers.

Also, a quarter inch free play is recommended, but that does not mean the
bearing will retract away from the pad when the clutch is released.

Another post about tires - sorry.

I am in the market for tires for my '78 with Minilite rims.  I am hoping to stay away from 175's, to avoid any risk of rubbing.  

I see that tirerack has Sumitomo HTR T4s for cheap (165/70r13), though I think this may be the tire some folks are not impressed with...

Universal tire has two 145/70r13 tires, which I believe was the OEM size.  Any advantage/disadvantage to going with one of these?

Tirebuyer.com has Bridgestone Potenza 165/65r13 for $78 - never heard of that one, or if the "65" bit is OK.

Any opinions on any of these is appreciated.

Thanks!

Steve,

I can't add much as too choice of tire since when I put tires on  a few 
years ago I went with cheap 155/80r 13 Kumho Solus KR21's so I could get my 
Midget on the road.  They ride OK, but nothing performance wise.

I did want to forward you this link for getting a visual idea of the 
different tire sizes compared to the stock tires.  It will give you an idea 
of the trade offs when going with a different size.

Thanks for all the input on tires.  I went with the "Vredestein 145/80 R13 Quatrac 3".  The price I got (from a local tire shop that deals in them) was about $85 each, including shipping to the shop and installation.  145/80 is the same height as my current 165/70s, but a bit narrower and is the OEM size.

Here is a random webpage for it  (though I am getting the newer "Quatrac 3":

I don't have much too add.  I am running Firestone 155/80's.
The only downside is that I have white walls that I have turned
on the inside. I picked these up locally, I think they were
about $55 each.

I don't thing I would go over 165 on the width to prevent rub issues.
I think the bugeye is more susceptible to this of the front btw.  

http://tinyurl.com/bt246gm

What I want to say is that I could not find a tire place that
would deal with tires/tubes on wire rims.

So I was then forced to do all the mounting by myself.   
After having gone through all of this, I would say that I would 
now still do it all myself even if I did not have wire wheels.

I bought a couple tire irons from harbor freight.
It's actually pretty easy to mount the tire on the rim yourself.
It's like changing a bicycle tire!  I would not do this on my
Ford Explorer with 16 inch rims, but the little Spidget rim 
is very DIY doable. 

So from here on out, I'm just going to order my tire of choice
from tirerack.com and mount them myself.  Probably the Kumho
Solus KR21 or the Sumitomo HTR T4

Balancing is the only trick.  In my case I happen to have a piece
of brass that I was able to machine on the lathe to fit the center
hub of the wire wheel. I then stuck a bubble level on this to 
static balance the wheel.  

Even if you could not balance the tire yourself, a local tire place 
won't charge very much for a more sophisticated dynamic balance.

Another post about tires - sorry.

I am in the market for tires for my '78 with Minilite rims.  I am hoping to
stay away from 175's, to avoid any risk of rubbing.  

I see that tirerack has Sumitomo HTR T4s for cheap (165/70r13), though I
think this may be the tire some folks are not impressed with...

Universal tire has two 145/70r13 tires, which I believe was the OEM size.
Any advantage/disadvantage to going with one of these?

Tirebuyer.com has Bridgestone Potenza 165/65r13 for $78 - never heard of
that one, or if the "65" bit is OK.

Any opinions on any of these is appreciated.

Thanks!
Steve

Try motorcycle shops for wire wheel mounting and balancing.

We're going to meet for a NOSHIT on Sunday at 3PM.
I know a lot of you on this list live too far away to even think about
it, that is okay.

The idea is to get together again before Bill M. moves to sunny
Southern California.
There is an Italian car show that day and it's supposed to end at 3.
Come early if you want to see the cars before they leave.

The Triple XXX is an old style 1950's Drive-In that hosts car shows on
the weekends.

Rick,
 
Thanks for the update.
I will tell the police to have a look out at the border....lol
 
I thought Bill was on his way already to our area.
I talked to him in January.
His plans were to move in April.
I was under the impression it was the first part of the month.
Have a great time at the XXX & tell him Vigil said Hello.

Early ones, in theory, would be better. Later ones would have the  
poppet valves used on emission vehicles which you really don't want or  
need. Condition, particularly the throttle shafts would be a more  
important factor.

My son is a Navy nurse scheduled for deployment to the sandbox in July. He
has a van in Denver where he lived prior to current location on the west
coast and want to ship it to New Hampshire. Anyone have suggestions for
reliable shipping companies? He's looking to ship it fairly soon since
there are lots of duties and location changes prior to deployment. All

I'd like to buy tires from Tirerack.com how do I measure the width?
I'll be putting them on my 5" ARE Libres, thanks to Alan Fisher for
finding lugnuts for them via Minimania.

List,
This car was posted on the Facebook Early Spridgets page. Really
pretty 63 Midget in a great color combo of grey and red. Is it a
member?

Please celebrate the fact that Chuck Christ does live!  We have had computer
crashes at the house and then there is the "dial-up" problem.  As we all know,
women have far more patience than men, therefore combine Chuck with dial-up
and a fragile computer....what do you get????  A Chuck that retreats to the
SAAB man cave (garage) to fix the problem de jour!  lol!
 
BTW.  This is Mary Anne, his "other half", half of what, I do not know, maybe
half-wit, lol....but I do co-drive that darn orange SAAB and we do shack up
together.   :)  
 
So back to point, today was the day for me to expand our potential free
websites for the online selling of the yellow 1960 SAAB 93F race car.  Low and
behold, there were people who wanted to buy this car from our existing listing
on Race-cars.com.  So, long story (leave them for Chuck, lol!!!) and the short
of it, I had to seek on Yahoo (with permission), these potential buyers within
a whole shitload (can you say that here???) of old mail our darling Mr. Christ
has yet to go through.
 
I will let Chuck know that the HMOD, Spridget, and SAAB community thinks him
dead and is planning a memorial service for him.  I will explain that there
will be lots of booze and food, guaranteed he will show up!    :)

life here.  Remember, it is a new moon this Saturday!

I had a 1997 F150 with the V6 and a 2000 F150 with the small V8.  The
trucks were fine but I feel the motors coulda and shoulda lasted
longer.
At 120k?  I dunno if there is a way to check the timing chains but
that is about how long the motors lasted before something slipped in
the valve train.
IIRC, Frank drove F150s but got rid of them around the 120k mark.

It's overqualified, should be great. I like my 2002 now that I replaced the 10
year old rotors. The engine is a dog, but you know the towing rig mismatch.

Mary Anne,

Welcome to the list!  Stick around!  Your prose is so much more enjoyable
than the "other half".  ;-)

You keep writing and let Chuck keep fixing the problem de jour or week. 
Although it would be interesting to hear how one four-wheel drifts a
school bus.  Has he set the bus up for racing yet?

Thanks for writing!  We should still have a party of some sort.

Dave,
Amen to the party!  Ya know, we could arrange to have one here, we've got a
couple of acres of lawn, farmers as neighbors, and no police, so if someone
were so inclined to test drive their race car (or street car) there would be
no problemo!  We've got a 24' x 24' covered deck if it rains and a pond to
drown Chuck if we need to make him dead! (Just for official party reasons, of
course!)
 
I'll let Chuck address the race bus setup.............lol!
Mary Anne

If his deployment is for more than 6 months, he may be better off
selling the van, as an idle car develops problems just from sitting.
When he gets back, that Big Check Uncle Sam gives him </sarcasm> may
cover the loss from selling it.

If that doesn't sound good, maybe a road trip. Google says Denver
to Hanover NH is 32 hours driving time. Share two 8-hour stints
over a 2-day weekend for a lifetime memory.

Peter,
I tow with a '96 F150 5 litre. It's got about 170,000 miles on it and seems
OK although it gets rotten gas mileage and Ford trucks need front end work
at around 120,000 miles. I've also got an '86 GMC which handles a lot
better and is less thirsty.

I'm trying to source from Moss (or wherever) the best clutch release
bearing for use with competition clutches that I just sourced from England
to go in T-series go-fast cars using a light flywheel from either Bob
Grunau in Canada or Brown & Gammons in the U.K.  Having mocked it up with
old carbon type release bearings that I have around, I'm pretty sure I want
to find new ones with the biggest available "offset".  That is the greatest
distance forward from the mounting pins to the actual carbon surface.  It
seems to me (and the guy in the U.K. who made the clutches confirms it)
that the one I'm looking for would be for a Spridget.  But...which one?

Moss lists three different part numbers depending on whether its for a:
948  190-910
1098  190-915
1275   190-920

Do any of you guys know (or could you pass this along to the Spridget
group) which of these would be the one I'm looking for?  Or are the all the
same?

Thanks,

-Manley

It appears from Gerard's web site that the 1275 TO bearing has the most
offset.
Here's some pics to illustrate.

Nice photo.
 
I think you'll find some of the roller release bearings for the 1275 use  
the 1098 body - I have a nearly brand new one of these I'll sell for a lot 
less  than I paid for it (it's an AP racing bearing).

Message-ID: <16b16.503ae3f8.3cc5aa55@aol.com>

Hi list,
 
I have an oilite bush in a suspension component where I'd rather use a  
polyurethane bush.  I can't get a poly bush in the right size and it seems  
more awkward to file than metal.
 
The oilite bush appears to have a relatively short life as nothing spins or 
 turns in it and it's subject to impact loading (as you'd expect in  
suspension).
 
I was tempted to have some Phospher bronze bushes made up but it seems that 
 apart from being able to hopefully have a slightly tighter tolerance 
(maybe a  couple of thou') there's not much to be gained.
 
So, what metal should I be looking for to have bearings made from?  Am  I 
correct in thinking that Brass being an alloy of Copper and Zinc is harder  
than Bronze which is an alloy of Copper and Tin?
 
I'm guess that the loading will be such that Nylatron or some other hard  
plastic simply won't be strong enough?
 
Regards

---------------------------------
Daniel,

The different alloys that you mention can be made harder or softer
depending on the percentage of materials that you combine... Do you
have a particular BHN or Rockwell hardness in mind? The consideration
here is the parts that the bushing mates. A harder bush may damage the
other parts which, in turn, may be more expensive and/or difficult to
replace!

Have you thought about heat treating with water/oil cooling or
cryogenic treatment of the parts that you have? If the stock part has
not been treated in some manner, either process should give it extra
life. Water cooling a heated metal can increase it's BHN by a fair
percentage. Oven heat treating with water quenching does a really good
job of bringing the BHN up.

I have a freind who owns a tool & die shop. He now has every piece
that he makes cryogenically treated. He says that they last much, much
longer since he started doing that.

Wow that is all I can say!!  I finally got a chance to get Mini Lee out for a
drive after 5 months.  I have been having issues with getting her started when
the temperature is under 60 degrees so I took advantage of the nice weather
and got her out for a drive.  Even with sitting for basically 5 months she ran
GREAT!!!  You can say I definitely had a smile on my face when I pulled back
into the driveway :-)

The only "problem" that I had was that I had to double brake in order for the
brakes to feel like they were gripping, which is a problem that I have had for
a while now.  I also noticed that my oil pressure "dropped" to about 15psi hot
when I normally ran about 20 but I was not to worried about that.

Does anyone have any ideas why I would have issues starting Mini Lee when the
outside temp is under 60 degrees?  I can sometimes get her started but it
usually can take me as much as 30 minutes or more to get her started.

Thanks,

Kristi

Hi Kent,
 
What I know about material hardness can be pretty much written on the back  
of a fag (cigarette) packet (hope that translate UK to USA ok!).
 
The bush sits in a steel housing which itself isn't fantastically  
expensive.  A bolt passes through the middle of the bush to clamp to  another steel 
part.
 
Currently the wear is that the bolt isn't as tight a fit in the bearing as  
I'd like due to a combination of average tolerances so I'm guessing over 
time  the bolt hole opens up and there's more free play than there used to be 
along  with an MOT/inspection fail.
 
I don't think that either Oilite or Phospher bronze can be readily heat  
treated.
 
Regards

Hmmm.......I'm confused (situation normal).  If you want to use a polyurethane
bush why not just use the original part?  Easy to get  bushings for the
original part.

The non-original part does not have a polybush for it!  The original  part 
does not provide negative camber.
 
So, any comment on bearing materials?  Brass?

Message-ID: <BAY171-W1265ACF0BC7DE55B8871787C2210@phx.gbl>

hey all,

I have to get a new engine for my Bugeye.
Apparently the freshly rebuilt head on my 1098, lost a clip on top of the
valve keepers.
This caused it to drop that valve and hence punch a hole in #2 piston and chew
up the combustion
chamber.
Sooo,

I'm going to embark on getting a 1275 for it.
Now, this engine is going to be built around 2 main components that I already
have.

1. A head that I picked up many years ago. It's a 12G940, it has 1.4 intakes
and 1.21 exhaust valves.
 It has been skimmed, it appears, about .100. I measure 2.65 thickness.
My home estimating has the combustion chambers at 17.5 ccs.
Chambers have been reshaped and intake and exhaust ports have been pretty
extensively ported. Estimated compression ratio is 12.5-13:1, but I don't know
with what piston
dish that was.
2. I'm going with Cam that is presently in my Bugeye. I don't know the specs
of it yet until I pull the engine,
but IIRC my Dad had said 30 odd years ago it was equivalent to a 3/4 race cam.
On the 1098
that it was in, it did not have significant power until 3000+ rpm. I am
planning on getting new lifters.

Now,
this is going to be mainly a street/autocross car and I am on a budget,
or I'd think about getting a crate engine from one of the big builders for
$5-6000.
I don't have that kind of $$.
I do plan on doing a .040 or .060 overbore, piston and boring costs appear to
be the same
 whether one does 40 or 60 over. I don't really want to do a 1380,
as no one near me has done offset boring and the extra 50 cc's doesn't seem
worth the extra cost to me.
 Biggest question is what size dish should I get to make this combination
run on 93 octane pump gas? 7cc? 12cc? Flat tops appear to be out of the
question,
with the chamber size this head has.
I do plan on having it balanced and getting Gerard's rear main seal kit.
On a car that is not going to see more than say 6500-7000rpm is a center main
strap needed?
I'll have more questions, but this is getting a little long as it is.

Need more details Kristi... but a shot in the dark...

Check ignition components.  With cold temps the battery voltage drops a bit
thus revealing any weaknesses in the ignition.

Check condenser, plug gaps, lightly sand the points with some fine 600 grit 
sand paper or replace the points altogether.

I say all the above assuming that you don't have a fuel problem (since you
said it ran great once started).

I do notice that with the modern (gas with the high ethanol content) it
tends to evaporate quickly from the carbs.  My car is a bit  more difficult
to start after a week since last running that it is after a day.

Subject: [Spridgets] Mini Lee

Wow that is all I can say!!  I finally got a chance to get Mini Lee out for
a
drive after 5 months.  I have been having issues with getting her started
when
the temperature is under 60 degrees so I took advantage of the nice weather
and got her out for a drive.  Even with sitting for basically 5 months she
ran
GREAT!!!  You can say I definitely had a smile on my face when I pulled back
into the driveway :-)

The only "problem" that I had was that I had to double brake in order for
the
brakes to feel like they were gripping, which is a problem that I have had
for
a while now.  I also noticed that my oil pressure "dropped" to about 15psi
hot
when I normally ran about 20 but I was not to worried about that.

Does anyone have any ideas why I would have issues starting Mini Lee when
the
outside temp is under 60 degrees?  I can sometimes get her started but it
usually can take me as much as 30 minutes or more to get her started.

Thanks,

Kristi

Thanks Dean,

But those pumps only go up to 92 octane.
I'd prefer a 94 octane Ultra one. :-)

Loose fitting rocker arm bushings allowing too much oil into the head 
flooding the valve guides.

Try deepening and widening  the troughs and chamfer the return holes 
(push rod holes) in the top of the head under the rocker shaft. If it 
was rebuilt then there should be new valves seals but if the oil 
isn't draining off the top of the head fast enough it will build up 
and run down the valve stems, seals or not.

Thought I would throw this in. . . .

Google Charlie Hargreaves. . . my grandfather.

Tough dude.   During a 7th inning stretch he punched a heckler out cold.
Those days you could get away with that sort of thing.  Owner of a bar
(retirement) he threw a guy through the front plate glass window to the
sidewalk.

At 84 he pulled the plug and summoned Riley.  Riley was the local
undertaker.  He went out the way he lived. .  no BS in him whatsoever.

I have many pics of him with Babe Ruth. .  and other luminaries of the
era.  Too bad they were not signed.

Jeff,
 
I don't claim anything near guru status, but my dad has told me all my
life to "start with the simple stuff". Sometimes it has saved me big time on
projects.
 
With that in mind... When does it smoke? at idle? at high
revs/under stress? 
 
If it is at idle (when you have lots of vacuum) it is
possible the problem could be no more serious than your routing of crankcase
vent hoses. When I bought mine, the vent off the front of the block was routed
up and directly to the carbs. When I'd sit at a light or idle for some other
reason for a minute or two, I'd leave a giant cloud behind me when I took off.
 
Just a suggestion to look at before you go tearing it apart.
 
 - David
Booker

All you

Just started a rebuilt race engine (948 Bugeye).  We have
excellent
compression across the board but after about 45 min running, we
still have
massive smoke and a plug inspection reveals all 4 plugs are wet
with oil after
shutting down. Give me your suggestions.

According to Google maps, my shop in Orange is located in a shopping mall in
Santa Ana. They acknowledge the error, but say it would be too difficult to
fix. Google is way too big to get things right. They're as big as a small

He would have been some marketing some of my grandfather's 30 or so patents on
the slide fastener and its method of production.  Waldes Kohinoor is the
company - the Japanese own most of the patents now. Was very cool when I came
across his patents researching a retractable antenna for the shuttle many
years ago when I was a young engineer.

There were, but my grandfather's patents started on the 30s for manufacturing
techniques. His most significant was manufacture from continuous chain that
allowed automation for textiles.

And no, no royalties, just like my brother's and my patents. You relinquish
intellectual property rights with a large company, generally. I got $1500 from
GE for mine. Waldes gave grandma a nice check, she lived on it for 33 years
after being widowed.

I'd consider a warmer grade of plugs or stay with the same grade of plugs  
but fit a high energy coil.  
 
What sort of running at 45mins?  High rpm running?

Subject: [Spridgets] Engine Rebuild Suggestions
Message-ID: <1302e.3a10a26a.3cc85ed7@aol.com>

If it was me I'd start with nothing.  The head ought to be rebuilt  anyway.
 A hot cam in a 1098 might not be so hot in a 1275.  Cam  technology has
come a long way in the last 20-30 years.  Sure peak power  might be about the
same but mid range and lower range power is a lot better on a  modern cam
than older cams (unless David Anton at APT says different!).

I spent a long time writing the spec on the engine currently in the car and
 sought a lot of advice.  The biggest decision was on the ratio of inlet
valve size to exhaust size and using a Pierce head I can't remember if I was
constrained on my original choice or not.

The very nicely lightened (and balanced) crank, rods, flywheel and later
7.5" (lighter design) clutch were very noticeable when I first blipped the
throttle and went for a drive.

I think the overall bill was about #5K including an engine crane, exhaust
manifold and a few other bolt on pieces.

Regards

Subject: [Spridgets] Poly bush was  Metalurgical bearing type question
Message-ID: <1340f.56379bf3.3cc86051@aol.com>

Ok - I'm working through a number of options on this and tonight re-visited 
 the poly bushes.  They really don't file at all though after a very long  
time one of them was getting closer to being the right size for the trunnion 
 bolt.
 
However, since I don't have a couple of days to file them, a drill didn't  
work, I don't have a reamer or a lathe I tried an alternative approach.
 
Using a scrap/damaged trunnion bolt I heated it with a blow lamp and then  
pushed the bush on it and ran it up and down.  Then I cooled the poly bush  
and picked off melted debris and gave it a quick file.  I repeated this  
process several times on the first and the second bush.  Sure enough after  a 
while both bushes are now a good fit on a new trunnion bolt.  It's  possible 
I might need to 'heat-ream' (a phrase I believe I've just invented)  each 
bush once or twice more depending on how much they compress when fitted to  
the trunnion - but that will be a project for tomorrow night.

Subject: [Spridgets] Solid State Voltage Stabilizer
Message-ID: <mailman.4.1335301505.7100.spridgets@autox.team.net>

My project recently has been to make a solid state voltage stabilizer 
for my Sprite. Today I installed it and it appears it works OK. My 
1966 Spite didn't have a voltage stabilizer as built. The V.S. 
supplies a regulated 10 volts to the fuel gauge. Hopefully the needle 
should not "jump" quite as much now. I do have an after market gas 
tank that doesn't have internal baffles so I'm not holding my breath 
for huge improvements. Doesn't really matter because this was a PROJECT!

For the archive: the V.S. came from Jameco part 837441, $1.25 (but 
you have to order at least 5), rated at 10 volts @ 1.5 amps. I could 
have bought a similar chip at Radio Shack, but the R.S. case was 
completely insulated. The ordered chip has a mounting tab that is 
also an electrical ground and should also help with cooling the chip. 
Plus the Shack was pricey. I included a LED that shows the V.S. is 
working. This was all built into the housing of an old style V.S.

Upcoming projects - relays for headlights, heater blower, and horn. 
And I bought an LM741 Op-amp to try and make a low fuel indicator. I 
don't really "need" to do these things, but they are PROJECTS! (and, 
projects are good!)

I have a 1098 with a 12G206 head which has the same specs as the famed 12G940. 
Does anyone have an educated opinion on it's value?

I ask because I am thinking that for resale, the head by itself has a greater 
value than the entire engine.

If anyone in the Northeast is interested in a 1098, contact me offlist and we 
can work something out.

Also, if anyone in the area is considering purchase of an enclosed car trailer, 
I am selling my Wells Cargo.

Thanks in advance,

Gee Mike,

That's nice of you to ask. I appreciate your concern.

Fortunately, my answer is no. 

I just need to get out from under all of the "stuff" I accumulated and get back 
to basics. I lost focus with so much stuff in too small a space. 


I have, and continue to, come across parts and other things I forgot I had. 
Other people need to enjoy these things and use them on and with their cars.

Jay,

Just an FYI,

12G206 and 12g940 are very different heads.
I have both.
12g206 is a 1098 head and the 12g940 is a 1275 head.
Valves on the 206 are much smaller than the 940.
The combustion chambers are much larger and shaped quite different on the 206
also.
Valves on the 206 are 1.21 intake and 1.0 exhaust.
Valves on the 940 are 1.3 intake and 1.15 exhaust.
If someone took the time to put big valves and port a 1098 head flow like a
stock 1275,
they would have had to spend a bunch of $$.
Probably a 1098 racer out there that might be interested.

Small or big main 1098?

Ahh,
That makes more sense.
The 206 and 295 heads are the preferred heads for
small bore engines.
What's it worth?
 Stock, Maybe a couple hundred, from what I've seen.

Is it stock, or has it had any porting/skimming done to it?

You can get Chinese made Aluminum V8 heads, too.  I think they are
Victor Jr. copies.
But, while some claim they work well and others claim they are junk
the reality lies somewhere in the middle.  They are Aluminum and
serviceable but if you want them to be great heads you may spend a lot
bringing them up to par.

Projects are good.  Keep them coming.

Just an FYI,  
My "self terminating solid state flasher" works pretty good.
Except...The ignition emf noise occasionally causes it to false
trigger.  This is no big deal, the turn signals do not blink
if the turn signal switch is in the center position, but the dash light
blinks.  It happens rarely (like when starting the car) so I'm leaving it as
is.  

My electric fuel pump safety cut off circuit is not working for similar 
reasons. This is the circuit that is suppose to look at the tach signal from
the ignition and shut off the fuel pump if the engine stops turning over.
Here again the ignition noise is causing trouble despite the fact that I
have a good emi filter on the circuits supply side.  I'll probably have 
to put a regulator on it.  Right now it chatters the fuel pump relay when I
activate it. 

Both the above circuits work perfectly on the bench. But the electrical
environment in the car is a totally different animal.  Something to keep in
mind.

I'd like to make a intermittent wiper circuit next.  I have a decent pull
switch / potentiometer that the stock bugeye wiper button will fit nicely.

FWIW, My gas gauge works as follows...
If the needle is pegged...I have gas.
If the needle starts to dance, I have less than a gallon left :)
I'm not sure they ever worked any better than this when they were new.
This is with a new Moss sender BTW.

Subject: [Spridgets] Solid State Voltage Stabilizer

My project recently has been to make a solid state voltage stabilizer 
for my Sprite. Today I installed it and it appears it works OK. My 
1966 Spite didn't have a voltage stabilizer as built. The V.S. 
supplies a regulated 10 volts to the fuel gauge. Hopefully the needle 
should not "jump" quite as much now. I do have an after market gas 
tank that doesn't have internal baffles so I'm not holding my breath 
for huge improvements. Doesn't really matter because this was a PROJECT!

For the archive: the V.S. came from Jameco part 837441, $1.25 (but 
you have to order at least 5), rated at 10 volts @ 1.5 amps. I could 
have bought a similar chip at Radio Shack, but the R.S. case was 
completely insulated. The ordered chip has a mounting tab that is 
also an electrical ground and should also help with cooling the chip. 
Plus the Shack was pricey. I included a LED that shows the V.S. is 
working. This was all built into the housing of an old style V.S.

Upcoming projects - relays for headlights, heater blower, and horn. 
And I bought an LM741 Op-amp to try and make a low fuel indicator. I 
don't really "need" to do these things, but they are PROJECTS! (and, 
projects are good!)

Group,
 
I was going to use the Austin America manifolds on my Morris.
I bought a set with the carburetor, Air cleaner, intake & exhaust manifolds.
A close friend in the UK sent me a Maniflow big bore header.
I decided to go with the MG Metro Carburetor.
So i not longer have a use for the Austin America manifold and others parts.
Anyone interested in buying them i will sell them for $100 plus shipping.
The manifold alone goes for $120 on ebay, Used carb is $50, no air cleaners
listed. 
Contact me off list.at uniquelittlecars at yahoo.com
I am only going to have them for a short time then i will list them on eBay.

Yes, that's the $150 kit.
Maybe I can use the picture as inspiration though.

I, too, have been thinking of making a tilting front end. I 'd like to 
do it just so I can say I did. I'm thinking it would be cool on my '67 
vintage race car and maybe even on my '72 street/show car. Almost all 
the Bugeyes at the races have converted to front tilt.

I don't have a one piece fiberglass front end, so am thinking of bolting 
or welding the hood and the fenders together and adding a cross brace 
above the battery. Of course, fiberglass wouldn't be allowed for the 
vintage racer. I also really want to use Spitfire latches on the fender 
wings rather than rubber snubbers or hood pins. And, I will have to move 
the oil cooler from below the radiator or at least re-route the braided 
lines to it. I am thinking of starting with the stock bumper mounting 
brackets that affix to the frame horns. They are stout and appear to be 
in the right position.

Anybody have any experience or advice? If I do it and it works, I will 
document it with text and photos.

Bob

Hello Bob,

He said he can't get a title because the owner he bought it from
passed away. If your state takes bill of sale it is the only way to
register it. But the parts alone are well worth it.

The book (Haynes) says that the rib case takes 2.7 US pints.  What does
this equate to in terms of quarts? 1 quart plus a little more than a half a
quart?

And when at the proper level . . with the car on a level surface . . does
this mean that the oil in the rib cage should sit at the height of the fill
hole?

(I am using 30wt engine oil)

Because if it is empty you can fill from the top if you know how much to put
in.
