- 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

- Two things which might help: 1) There used to be thick carb-to-manifold gaskets available; these helped insulate the carbs from heat being conducted from the exhaust manifold. 2) Fabricate a heat shi

- 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

- Ravic on Hennepin sells non-oxygenated fuel. That's the 40's time-warp station just around the corner from your office. Some "Bobby and Steve's" (Mobil) stations have it during the summer. For other

- I don't have the list in front of me at the moment, but the MSRA publishes a list of gas stations that sell non-oxygenated fuel here in Minnesota. You might check with the MMGG as I think they also
