Yep, and I'd look at the points too. Most "Carburetor" problems are located in the distributor. The carbs are the last thing you adjust when doing a tune up. CR

Barney, does the Judson blower still use a drip oiler for the vanes? I ran a Judson on a early Corvair Monza years ago. It had a oil reservoir (a 1 qt glass jar, believe it or not) that was connected

When engines suddenly quit running, it's usually an ignition problem. Are you sure the ignition is firing when it quits? You could hang a timing light on the coil HT wire to see that the coil or cond

The Prius is rated by the EPA as a PZEV/ULEV. If you aren't up on the standards, PZEV is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle; that's because it's running as an electric some of the time, with the engine

Come to think of it, the guy may be right, strictly speaking. Maybe the gas formulations _could_ help the older MG pass the standard applied for its model year. Cheers, CR

If you put in a 193* thermostat, that's the lowest the temp can run, because the coolant temp has to get that high in order to open the thermostat. I use a 180* 'stat in my '69 B year 'round. My temp

You can also get at them from the boot. To put the nuts in, I taped a small box end wrench to a piece of welding rod, put a bit of tape on the bottom of the box end so the nut wouldn't drop through.
