I have a Pertronix on order. I'll tell you in a few weeks. The reason to change is a hotter spark and more consistent dwell. One distributor problem is eliminated or at least minimized: wobble from a

Someone was asking about electronic ignition for a Spitfire. I saved some mail from over a year ago regarding this subject. Here is a message from Peter Zaborski who has used the Pertronix Ignitor. M

Answer to Question 2: Wire wheel worked just fine for me. I dis-assembled it so as not to affect the non-aluminum parts. As you suggested, I followed up with a clear coat. After the clear coat, it wi

Before you start chasing the solenoid or pulling the tranny cover, you should check the switch in the gear shift. It is prone to corrosion. Inside the switch is a rolling contact that rolls onto two

Barry, I've tried the "drill a small hole, drain and repair" routine. It failed in the long run (a few months). I swapped a float from another sender unit to solve the problem. I am not aware of the

You will have to find all the holes in the firewall and around the tranny cover and seal these up. I have used window sealer (it's often called "dum-dum") here in Canada. I think there is a different

I've used POR-15 before but never on exhaust parts. I doubt that it would last very long. It might survive near the end of the pipe where gases have cooled off to some degree (e.g. after the muffler)

Since you have done all the bleedin' work (a little Brit speak) and the pedal goes to the metal, you should start thinking about the master cylinder. It seems that there is leakage around the seals.
