Hi John! I went through the same thing with the last 1500 I owned. Even with a rblt. carb, I never managed to get more than about 20mpg, and the car always running too rich. I eventually went to a se

Hi listers! While the spit is off the road for winter(hopefully a snowless Vancouver winter), I'm hoping to pull off the old "blue bottle" muffler and replace it with another performance muffler. Has

Yeah, me too. My clothes wreak of exhaust after running the spit with the top down, or having one of the windows rolled down. I have a blue bottle muffler coming straight out the back that stops at t

Hi Bob. I remember checking the rubber surrounds on the trunklid and the tail lights, and even adjusting the stricker on the trunk to make it close tighter, but this did not help at all. Granted my p

G'day listers! The ongoing thread of weber tuning coincides with a problem I'm having with my 1500 spit that has 1 1/2 SUs on it. I had them rebuilt last spring to try to get the car closer to passin

Hi Joe! As far as I know the spit still has the low comp. pistons in it. I guess the uk ones ran the 9:1's in them? Does higher comp. need a richer fuel mixture? ron

Bob: Nope, no cat converter on it. I wonder if there's something wonky with these carbs then. I'll have to recheck the jets and make sure that they were actually replaced. The shaft bushings were don

Bob: No, I'm using the fixed jets. I know the waxstats are troublesome. Thanks to everyone for the help on the mixture problems. Right now I have a bigger problem to contend with. The brake master le

Hey Nelson! Good message. I love both of these cars, and have daydreamed occasionally of a rotary swap, but I'm just not that ambitious, and I still have a thing about swapping non original engines i

Hi Nelson! I'll definitely keep your address around, and if I do jump in to the rotary thing, I'm sure I'll need some info on repairs, mods, etc. It's just damn hard to give up the convertible thing

Laura: I'm curious as to what kind of mods. I own a '78 1500. That's pretty impressive if the car actually surpasses the "ton", and revs past 6,000 without killing many innocent civilians. Looking fo
