I just had a chance to catch up on the last 3 days of B-C.
Apparently the PRAIRIENET system swallowed a valve over the
weekend and I got a bit behind... (Sigh... I felt S-O-O-O
out of touch).
Re: Bill Sohl's note on Fraser's comments (5/13) about British
Cars in general... Remember Bill, good, or bad any press is
STILL press (by the by 'got permission to send you my restorat-
ion story so look for it when they send me the photos and
illos).
Re: Kevin Burtch and Autozone... Just ask them to get you Bosch
Platinums for a TR4... The AZ around here seems to be manned
by empty brained mouth-breathers.
Re: Mr. Mike, regarding new rear ends for TR4s. A couple years
back I bought a Detroit Locker from Dennis Wilson (Tr6 racer
of some fame) It came replete with a 4-1 Rear. The Higher RPMS
made it great for autoxing, but terrible for cruising... I added
an O.D. which helped a lot for the long drives. I got used to
driving with the the rev counter too which was no great chore.
I never attempted to regear the speedo hoever Nissonger's re-
built the beast for me and will probably be able to help you.
I'm not sure about the address but I think they are in MASS.
Good luck!
