In coastal Connecticut, British Car Week has been, shall we say, British. We have had two days of showers and rain, with periods of warm sun. It's the sort of weather that makes one glad he oils the

Seems to me that one should set the clearances to the specifications of Crane, who made the cam that is in your engine. Some owners prefer different clearances, but you won't go far wrong using what

Checking condition of wood in the TD is mostly a matter of gaining access. Most, if not all, the solid (not plywood) in the TD is ash. Ash is strong, light, springy, tough, easy to work when recentl

It's good news that you identified the camshaft. Running at .016 did no harm and it was far better than running the .019 cam at .012. I keep hearing that if the Pertronix goes bad it dies, no stumbl
