Anyone going to the Berkeley Plantation British Car Meet
September 18th, 10:00 a.m. -> ??
I'll be there with a freshly painted (pick it up today!! <g>) '73 MGB and (I
hope) a girlfriend with a '69 Spitfire. Both green (the CARS, of course).
Seven Enterprises, in Newport News, VA is having an open house the day
before. Here's a message I posted locally for the two events.

Sunday September 18
10th Annual British Car Day at Berkeley Plantation, Williamsburg
Convoy leaves Seven Enterprises at 8:30 a.m.
Field opens 10 a.m. (this leaves enough time for even Britcars to make it
to Williamsburg...)
Over 300 cars expected.
Hosted by Central Virginia MG Classics Ltd.
Call Bruce Woodson 804-261-1020 for info/registration.
===========================================
To the person with Colortune problems... I have the same thing with the
MG... orange with intermittant blue until I lean it dead. I suspect a
worn needle/valve (terminology takes a holiday... the fuel metering needle
and the thing the needle gazinta).
I saw someone write about different dizzy curves and needles for different
years. I have a Pirhana upgrade to a '73 dizzy, and a single HS6 on an
Austin Marina manifold in my MGB (don't laugh too hard, it is a P.O. hack).
What the heck do I put in for a needle?
Getting the digest at home and a new paint job all in the same day... yippee!
