123. Small World (score: 1): Author: sfisher@Megatest.COM (Scott Fisher); Date: Tue, 8 Feb 94 13:54:32 PST; I don't think I've mentioned this yet. This will mainly be of interest to John Ross, who owns my old race car, but it points out what a small and connected community the owners of old British sports; /html/british-cars/1994-02/msg00267.html (7,805 bytes)

RE: PCV valves and MGB's (score: 1): Author: sfisher@Megatest.COM (Scott Fisher); Date: Wed, 9 Feb 94 10:11:28 PST; Sticking floats or badly ovaled holes will do that, as will dirt in the needle valves between the valve and the seat.

It's got three tubes in the top and one tube in the bottom, sticking out the side. On top it's got one 1/2" hose in the middle that goes to the valve cover, right?

The rest --well, make that "the other" now -- is clean. They don't. Aha! I'll check that connection (see DQ#2). Yes, that's in solid.

133. Re: STARTER PROBLEMS (score: 1): Author: sfisher@megatest.com (Scott Fisher); Date: Mon, 10 Jan 94 10:45:52 PST; Well, there's good and bad news.

You can put HS4s on a Midget with the proper manifold, but they're not stock.
