It is my understanding that with a DCOE carb you cannot use vacuum advance. Check in the carb/manifold section of the Moss catalog as I believe they explain this limitation and the work arounds.

Is there anyone who makes a TAN vinyl top for an MGB? I accidentally ended up with a top from Crown that was some dingy, grayish-beigish and they say it's their only non-black vinyl top. Tan has to b

I agree with an earlier opinion that it might look better on a brighter car--like red. I want, well, a tan. There seem to be differing opinions on what tan is, though. http://www.chevrolet.com/tracke

They DO have a tan vinyl top, for a very reasonable $210. For an additional $12 I can get a zip out rear window. Very reasonable. I received their brochure and samples (couldn't find them last night)

Do you have enough slack in the cable? I've barely got enough to reach the angle drive, much less adding a big loop behind there. But thanks--I'll give that a look. If that works it'll save me alot o

You didn't say what year/model you have. If you can, try to buy a new cable that is longer than your original. That will facilitate a little more slack in the cable and do without the angle drive. I

I've got the same problem. The clutch doesn't work at all. The clutch used to work, but it was extremely "short throw"--as soon as you moved your foot the engine was engaged. So I set about to bleed

Well, the fluid is long since fresh, considering how much I lost in my various techniques attempting to bleed it. It's starting to sound like "rebuild" time, though. I'm going to try one more bleedi

A V-8 runs about $3,000 if done right, with a lot of work. The advantage, however, is that the V-8 can be more reliable than a stock 1800 anyway. The supercharger looks like a day or two job to insta

No, they'd prefer we don't drive at all. ALL cars are "unsafe at any speed". If you don't drive, you can't get in a wreck, you don't pollute the environment, etc. In fact, I think Mr. Nader (as he dr

Good point--if you could get 180 horses at 5,000-6,000 rpm, that would be a good deal, and if you still had some serious torque starting at 1,500 or so, then building from there it would be worth it
