Jim: recently helped a friend with a morgan that sputtered and popped
really bad,--this was a "totally" restored, beautiful example of a 59
morgan, that had never run properly since my friend purchased it.---long
story short, we finally discovered that two lower nuts on intake manifold
were missing (hard to see, and even harder to reach under the carbs) so,
even though the top row of nuts were torqued (probably too) tight, the
lower side of manifold was "sucking"--might be worth checking

want to help a guy in our club with a morgan that has a "missing and
sputtering" problem. he has a petronix in it and i know nothing about
these things. what should i be looking for. suspected a coil and had it
replaced, but did not solve problem. will naturally check carbs, etc.,
but suspect ignition as car apparently starts and runs ok until it warms
up. any help appreciated as i will be "flying blind" here.
