Good idea with the glass fibers that will be disturbed. It's really not bad though. I recommend putting a piece of masking tape on the top and bottom of the hole location to help prevent chipping/spl

Disconnect the wire from the sending unit and ground it to the engine block. The temp guage should do a full needle movement at that point as the sender is just a variable resistor of current coming

I had distorted and mangled mounts on Giles (68 Mk III), which I decided were too far gone to save so I cut them off and welded on a pair salvaged from another frame. If you don't have access to a we

Check for any voltage drops across your cables. That starter wants the maximum output of your battery and it wouldn't take much for it to be robbed of those important voltages! A multimeter is the wa

That tube is the 'jet assembly' tube, which moves up and down allowing different air fuel mixtures to be accomplished with the choke. It should move in tandem with the rear carb's jet when you move t

Since the sending unit is a variable resistance load from the ground to the wire going to your gauge, all it takes is for the sending unit to go bad or the wire to get shorted to ground someplace bet

You could also have a blown head gasket between Cylinders 1 and 2, which are not under compression at the same time and could easily result in zero pressure if the two were linked. It's not all for n

It will be fairly obvious when you pull the head. Streaks from one cylinder to another. Heated coolant and exhaust gasses will stain the materials. I wonder if Fel-Pro makes head gaskets for the Spit

Could you not just mount it on the other side of the radiator with the same air flow direction in place? The fan shouldn't care which side of the radiator it is on as long as it is moving air. -Vegam

Too much current or too long in any one spot and you will burn through the panel. Too low and you stick the surface as the weld cannot heat up the metal fast enough to melt. It's a delicate balance.
