Well Steve, here are some common acronyms:
LBC: little British car/convertible
TRF: The Roadster Factory, a place to buy parts for our LBC's in PA
VB: Victoria British, a place for parts in Kansas
ZS: Zenith-Stromberg, a type of carburetor
SU: another type of carburetor
You say you just stand and look at the engine; it's OK, we all do that for
one reason or another. What do you want to do to your car, ie. does it
need work? If you're not too sure how to do something and the manual(s) is
not clear, give us a call.
