My engine stopped running while cruising at 60mph last week and I finally found the time to take the timing chain cover off. As I suspected, the chain was hanging off the cam cog and had broken at th

Hrm. I hope not. So are you suggesting that the timing chain broke FIRST, the pistons pummeled the valves into au gratin potatoes gone wrong, and locked the camshaft? If it was the chain that broke.

I don't understand what's wrong with your plug, other than the fact its leaking. Where is it leaking? Around the edges? How old is your sender? Its your sender that's leaking, yes? If its the sender

As far as I know, a coil's a coil, as long as you get a 12V one. It's just a matter of how high a voltage you want to generate with it. When my friend needed her ignition coil tested in her Mitsubis

I haven't had any problems. I'm running them in my '79 0.020" over. The valves clear. I'm thinking they were probably identical to the ones the Midgets used but I don't know. How is that different t

Depends on temperature. I can't drive my Midget 1500 (16row cooler) in temps lower than 35 or so because it cools the oil too much, runs terribly. In warmer temperatures, runs smooth. e -- ___ __.o,

For a 1500 engine this won't work - there's no way in hellfire you're going to get a socket on that nut with the steering rack sitting there in front of it. It appears I did my timing wrong and now
