Author: Editorgary@aol.com
Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 12:59:44 EDT
Funny thing about that. I was running Redline MTL (think that's the same as MT-90 -- they're both certainly for high-performance manual transmissions) but when I came to replace it, I checked with e

42. What's an Ultimate Driving Machine, anyhow? (score: 1)
Author: Editorgary@aol.com
Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 13:02:23 EDT
You're exactly right -- it isn't the car, it's the driver. Even the Honda Element I'm driving from the press pool this week can outperform my Healey in everything except style, sound, panache, soul-s

If it is, in fact a choke cable with the knob and all intact, you might try taking it apart to see if all the pieces are there. There is a tiny half-moon shaped piece of metal, probably less than 1/4
