I just barely remember the canvas bags that my father would hang on our front bumper going through the southwest. Fill them with water (about 3 gallons) and they would seep out a little, which would

I just got finished replacing a great deal of my underdash wiring. The White/Red wire is the ammeter wire. The C-shaped ends should only be long enough to fasten to the ammeter's two INSULATED posts

Sounds like your button is for glow plugs for a diesel. Maybe that fan noise is really a diesel rattling, and you have the world's only known diesel roadster. My SERIOUS guess is that it may go to t

I know I'm not the oldest, but at 56 I'm in the upper limits of this group. A few years back the TDROC had a Spring meet and one of our members and his wife drove to the meet in their one-owner 1500

I looked at a brand new 3000 in 1967. If I hadn't had a family that needed more room I would have bought it. Bought a 1966 390 Fairlaine GTA instead. It got 5mpg. However, I could pull a 22 foot trav

Do you remember the story of the stone soup? Three soldiers make a pot of "soup" with boiling water and some large stones. Villagers add a few vegetables to flavor the soup, then some meat, spices, e

I think half of the TDROC has old plates. Barry Schumann has a Japanese plate on the front of his roadster. He has never been stopped that I know of. The Texas laws are easy to comply with. Find a g

One of the good things about the list is that there are so many people with experience that can add to the total amount of knowledge. We did the trailer versus dolly versus flat towing before, and I

Author: "Terry and Donna Cost" <tcost@vvm.com>
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 21:31:45 -0600
One thing that helps me is a good set of exploded parts diagrams, showing what fits what and in which order it's assembled. There are websites with the parts diagrams and we spent a lot of time talki

I've found that what works for me to keep the aluminum head and iron block from corroding is to run a ground from the frame to the road. If you attach a 3 foot length of 1/4" chain to the rear spring

Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 16:20:51 -0600
Back in the old days some mechanics used to paint gaskets with silver spray paint to seal them. I did my exhaust and intake manifold gaskets that way and was able to use them again if I had to remove

All this talk about roadsters in pieces and cold garages got me to thinking about my roadster haiku. The older members of the list already have it, but I see a lot of new names on the list, and you m

I once went 85 miles per hour in a 1958 Hillman Husky Station Wagon. It had the Austin A-50 engine (about 15 horsepower, I think) What made that speed memorable is that my Lucas electrics had died an

98. Magnesium wheels (score: 1)
Author: "Terry and Donna Cost" <tcost@vvm.com>
Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 08:01:21 -0600
A good way to test a wheel to see if it is magnesium is to set it afire. If it burns with a bright white flame, similar to a 4th of july sparkler, and is really, really hot, the wheel was magnesium.
