  1. Do you have a cutting torch? :smilielol5:
  2. I though there was something sheepish about it...
  3. As a retired individual my time commitments are flexible and I have taken up BaT watching (Bring a Trailer). It's interesting to watch the last minute bidding along with the commentary, sometimes more like the "peanut gallery". So, any particular car/truck/motorcycle have anyone sold that they wish they still had to sell now and really cash in? :auto: :smash: :banghead:
  4. Some times you need some extra thrust to achieve lift off
  5. I don't want to know how or why you had that photo to share.....
  6. I've used Castrol GTX 10w-40 and/or oil recomended for diesel motors which have zinc additives. In my application, having the proper oil level is important. The motor leaks some. I'm a goldylocks driver, as long as its not too hot or not too cold I'll take the car out, and its kept inside a conditioned garage. So the oil isn't getting much of a workout.
  7. The Distributor Doctor has the parts in a kit and the Royal Post delivered them via the USPS. Not the speediest method. :banghead:
  8. Somehow I don't think this car fits in the Top 100.
  9. John, Thanks for keeping on top of the spam slam. Carl
  10. Are you going to include the inventory time in the build time? :lurk:
  11. Thanks for the links. They helped me confirm the idenity of the unit. It is a Lucas 43D. (not a bra size):smilielol5:
  12. Just some minor fettling. I am in the process of replacing the intake gasket and noticed one of the dizzy cap retaining clips was missing. So, where do I find a clip for a Lucas?
  13. I aquired a set of Brooklands a few years ago and discovered the wiper interference issue. The alternative I have thought about is to reinforce the scuttle under the area where the windscreen is and mount the individual screens. When switching back to a full windscreen the mounting holes would be covered by the windscreen gasket.
  14. If a car is 25 years old or older would it need to be federalized?
  15. I've experience the carb spitting and such. I had to clean up the right side clam after running the car w/o airfilters. I've since put them back on, but they sure sound great unrestricted. I figured the spitting had to do with the overlap between intake and exhaust valve timing.
  16. The car looks to be located in the North GA mountains a perfect place to play.
  17. It would more effort to start with, but you have full access to all the areas you need to address and cuts out second guessing.
  18. Torque values on oil pan bolts are low due to their small dia. and oil pans are generally thinner gauge metal. I'm not familiar with dry-sumps as far as construction.
  19. I kept poking at it and it finally worked
