21. I'm a leper (score: 1)

Well, I'm already falling in the Leper class with Teri-Ann, since I use Zymol wax on my car and fill with unleaded gas, two things that weren't aviailable in 1967. So a V-8 isn't really that far of a

John, No way I'm going to cut a hole in my hood to fit an American Lump. I suppose if I did though, I could put one of those neeto ABS plastic hood scoops from Pep-Boys. ;-) ;-) <--Sarcastic Smileeyy

Well, I looked at the 215 Al V-8 yesterday, but it was perhaps more of a project than I wanted. The cylinder liners were rusty, the crank was missing. I politely passed. Perhaps if I find a 62 Skylar

This weekend, I installed (among other things) both Rotoflex couplings in a 72 GT6, using the unorthodox easy method. This doesn't involve separating the hubs, so it can save some time/discomfort. Al

Bill, I've considered a rotary Spit before. I drove one a few years ago. It was a 1500 with a 13B in it. It was quite a quick car, but something didn't seem right. The motor's response curve and exha

I think most people that have 4-cylinder engines would be proud of such compression numbers. They indicate a smooth engine that's in good shape. I believe you have a vacuum retard. If this is the cas

I don't think you need to be that accurate. The cam lobe should be concentric over a wide degree window. Does that make any sense? I didn't think so. Umm.. Hmm. The inactive portion of the cam lobe i

The Overdrive pump is working all of the time, but the pumped fluid is supposed to be bled off until you switch ON the solenoid, closing the hydraulic circuit and allowing pressure to rise. Currently

You're right Joe, It's a safety thing. Manufacturers like to include safety features where there's a possibility of legal action. I suppose that if the Spitfire were made today, it would have such a

You may have leaky throttle shaft bushings. Check them for wear. I assume you have the high idle while the idle screws are removed. Somehow you are getting air into the engine, so if it's not coming

Folks, While we were visiting my parents this last weekend in Seattle, I sat in my Spit-6, which has been sitting outside ever since we got the Jag. Dianne wondered if we couldn't get it going, so Su

Well the quiz as to why the Spitfire died is over. There were several good suggestions. Randall suggested that the float valve was stuck open. (this was my first thought too). He also suggested that

Andy, Yes the Spider gears are welded to the cage. I've heard this referred to as a Detroit locker before, so that's why I used the term in my post. I believe that is the correct definition. Boy it i

Acutally, just the opposite from me. I don't label things when I take them apart, as it can cause unnecessary confusion later. They connect to a steel tab which is spotwelded to the firewall near the

Thanks for the correction. Differentials 101 here. So while you're at it, how does a Detroit locker 'differ' from a normal limited slip diff, and how does a Gleason Torsen diff work? I've never seen

Bob, I'm so glad you asked. There is an easy, quick way I've found to remove the caps without destroying them. You need a sharp cold chisel and a hammer. No I'm not kidding. You lay the cold chisel a
