Thanks for the info. This sounds exactly like what's happening to my car! I wonder if anyone has tried to fit an electric fan to a TD. As in some modern cars, it could be set up to run with the igni

Just a thought. A friend once had a Reliant Scimitar fitted with a Rover (Buick) V8 and a Holley carb. This would suffer vapour lock in the carb through heat soak on hot days in the UK. We fixed up

[Lew Palmer] It's both, folks. Here in Minnesota (no jokes, now - we've just had a week or more of 85+ degree weather and dew points in the 70s) we get the same hard starting after running. The prob

This may be my problem. I just finished making my own heat shield on Sunday and it didn't seem to do any good. Looking that the pictures in the catalogs, mine is a bit smaller at the back end of the

That's a nice trick. How do they get away with that? Here in CA you get no choice -- right now it's MTBE or... diesel. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain View, CA, it's the primer
