FE was used in and around 1969 for the 1296cc engine. Just to be sure, Does the engine have two intake ports or four? Two it's an 1147, four it's a 1296 or 1500. MikeC

Are you sure it's coming out from the cover? On the block, right behind the motor mount, there is a bolt that goes into the oil galley. If the bolt is loose or the copper washer is bad, oil can come

You've got a water outlet from the 63 and the water pump housing from the 69. They changed places somewhere in-between. If you tried both, it sounds more like wiring, power or gauge problem. MikeC It

I just got some new springs for my 64 Spitfire from Spitbits. The car has a 72 1296 cc engine in it, so in talking with Spitbits they suggested I put in a set of springs from a 1500 model because the

Thanks to all who gave me advice on the front springs. I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet. Now I've got a question of the rear. The rear of my Spitfire sits pretty high, higher than the front

No, its like this even after I drive it. The other three Spits I've owned had the opposite problem, even with a new spring. This has got me baffled. Anyone want to trade a spring? I been thinking tho

Could be a header for a 1147 cc Spitfire engine with the Siamesed intake ports. The exhaust ports are in the same location but the flange is different. They can be modified, but it would require more

Wow, I can't imagine dropping the rear of the car almost 5"! I think I'm looking for a max of 2". I did make a spacer today, to go between the spring and the diff. I took a 1/2" thick by 4" by 1.75"
