I have no problem at all with 1275 motors in square body sprites. That's always been accepted by everyone including the SCCA 35 years ago. -- Doug Meis <s800racer@earthlink.net> /// unsubscribe/chang

As this thread seems to have mostly run it's course, I have a few observations (infused and biased by my personal opinions) on what has been said. 1. Bugeye Sprites are not the only cars with correct

Most vintage groups do not regulate gear ratios for that very reason. The rule in most cases is that "ratios are free" and the 'box must have the same number of forward speeds as originally manufactu

I think any 12 volt battery will do. Personally, I believe the marine batteries work best. The real key to making the system work is properly wiring it to BOTH the refrigerator and the pantry doors.

Your best bets for a "real" vintage tire for the Midget will be the Dunlop "M" section or the Goodyear Blue Streak. The Goodyears are made in the same molds, the same tread patterns AND compound as t
