If you blank the opening on the drivers side of the radiator (same on '68 1600), won't this result in hotter, post-radiator, induction air being sourced from within the engine compartment? (Unless yo
I'm not trying to beat a dead short, so to speak, but maybe the question wasn't clearly phrased. How is it that the positive potential gets to the throttle/choke cable?
This is the part that makes sense, as I thought I pointed out about two hours ago. The prior comments related to Neg terminal grounds. - Bob -- R.W. Mann & Company, Inc. > Airline Industry Analysis a

On the way to JFK airport on Sunday, spied a sharp BRG '68 1600, fast mover, on Middle Neck Road in Port Washington, NY. NY plates "TOXICMAN". Anyone on the list? - Bob Mann, '69 2000 Solex -- - R.W.
Robin nailed it. It's most likely an RPM-related (not speed-related) sympathetic vibration. - Bob Mann -- R.W. Mann & Company, Inc. > Airline Industry Analysis and Consulting Port Washington, NY 1105
Apropos of the Roadster parts pricing discussion, in my opinion, a vendor's pricing is not by a long shot the entire story. Price is frequently less important than the vendor's attitude. This goes fo
