>Worn throttle shaft on the SU's. Carbs have never been right. Rough idle.
It runs out of air long before redline. I'm thinking about options. Rebuilt
carbs? Where from? Upgrade to Solexes? How about fuel injection?
-------
Stick with the SU's. Most of our Vendors will have rebuilt throttle bodies
to sell you. I bought super clean Restored SU's from Zthreapy. Maybe I went
a little overboard?
------
>Lights dim above 4000 RPM. I got a suggestion that its the voltage
regulator vibrating? Rebuilt alternator is installed. It's charging the
battery fine.
---------
You have a tried out light relay. This happens a lot. No need for Viagra,
just a new relay. ditto on the vendors.
------------
?Smog pump is on car to get it through CA smog check. I've since moved to
Kansas City. Is it worth removing?
----------
The pump et al is always worth removing! Check your local laws. don't get
stuck by the man. funny thing is, that you don't need the smog check in Cali
anymore! Tell us all what the story is in K.C.
--------
>Fuel gauge is not working. How do I check the sender to see if it's the
sender or the gauge?
---------
Short the sensor out and the gauge should peg full. If so, then it's the
sensor.
-------
>Tires are getting dry rot. Were old when put on car. It's got Panasport
wheels. How big a tire can you get under a roadster with stock fenders.
It's been lowered an inch. What tire for street use? How about autocross?
------
185/60's are awesome. I'm running 195's but I'm stock height.
---------------
>Biggest problem is transmission. It has never downshifted to second
without grinding. Previous owner had it apart and put new syncros in. I
think I will have it done by someone who knows Roadster transmissions, since
I have to pull the engine! I don't want to do it twice. I have a spare
transmission of unknown condition, so I could have it done and do the whole
thing in one weekend. What about clutch and flywheel. Any benefit to
upgrading?
-------------
Check your clutch free play AND load that baby up with Redline oils, MTL. As
Ross Perot would say, "Problem solved."
--------------
> need a new top and interior trim for behind the seats, and I want to put
in a roll bar with 4 point harness, or something better than the seat belts
in it now. Any suggestions?
-------------
Our Vendors have a beuit of a interior set!
----------
>I've had nagging electrical problems. Wiring harness wasn't changed.
It'smostly just oxidation and loose connections.
----------------
Nothing beats elbow grease here. Take your time and go through the
connections one section at a time. Clean and or replace the connection as
you go along. Thank goodness we have simple cars with few systems!
----------
>Anybody found a good way to put high quality sound in without sacrificing
the glove compartment?
--------
I want to have an amp in the trunck with a wire up to the consule to hook to
a AM/FM Discman.
---------------
>Dash is cracked. Is there a repro dash for a 70 or am I stuck with a dash
cover?
-----------
I love my Dash cover. One of the Vendors sells a Repo Dash but it's bucks!
---------
>Anybody know where I can find a LS Differential? Has anyone swapped the
axle to something with LSD?
------------
You and me both, Brotherman!
