  1. 8 MPG? You may want to pull the dipstick and sniff for gas smell.
  2. Hi, I'm going to contact you via private messaging.
  3. Gorgeous photos.
  4. It certainly appears to be a regulator, and fuel makes the most sense. But it also appears as though only one of the barbed tubes is connected to a rubber line. That seems odd if fuel is going through it. Is there a third connection, perhaps on the underside?
  5. I put my tank where the battery mounts, and moved the battery to just in front of the cowl. Different engine, same chassis.
  6. Berks County PA, near Kutztown. Here is a link to pictures. Let me know if it doesn't work. Price? I haven't really done any research so at this point I'm open. https://photos.app.goo.gl/v3AxFkQsUCCASLYv8
  7. Ouch! Good thing the car is so light. My gas gauge reads "full" all the time, probably because there is no sending unit whatsoever. I deal with it by keeping an eye on miles driven. So far so good... 🤞
  8. Let the purist wailing begin... ...oh, wait, that's an Elan thing.
  9. And to think it only took AI ~5 watt-hours of energy to create that.
  10. I have one. Located in southeast Pennsylvania USA. It came out of a 1995 S3. If you're interested reach out and I'll send pictures etc.
  11. An actual event during the Cold War. https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/this-austin-healey-sprite-escaped-east-germany-twice/
  12. It did not happen to me, rather the prior owner. He took the car to a regionally well regarded restoration shop to have the engine fitted and some other items done to get the car completed. As I went through the car after I bought it I found workmanship that was far, far below the standards I would have expected from a shop with its reputation. (I've since been told that the business went through a period where quality slipped a significant amount; I've also been told that the situation has since been rectified.) I guess the prior owner would have liked to know that before sending the car there. And before writing those substantial checks. I know of two places locally that might work on my 7, and that I might let work on it. So far though I'm the only to blame for the horror stories.
  13. I'm laughing *with* you, really! I can recall sharing that joy many times.
  14. I recently asked ChatGPT to find me a good lux meter app for iPhone. It gave me several, with one highlighted as best. I went to the app store -- nada. Went back to the Chat -- oh gee, I see that now, try this one. Same exact result. And a third time too. I gave up, but not before telling the chatbot that it had utterly wasted my time.
