Hi LIST!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS in advance for any replies...
2 or more questions for the list.
1: Do Jaguar Calipers mount up to a datsun roadster?  Please, I am looking for 
a real answer, not just a flame that they cost too much.  I allready have an 2 
pison XKE caliper that bolts right up, but I am curious about the 4 piston ones 
from the XJ series in the 80's to early 90's?  Anybody tried this?
2: I bought a 2 litre that someone had stripped the motor down to block and 
head, cleaned and repainted but when they reassembled, removed/left off , all 
the smog stuff and plugged the holes.... My question is  What, If anything 
should I change in tuning the car.???  I think I am supposed to go to 16 
degress BTDC... do I turn the distributor counterclockwise to get that? about 
how far?
BTW  I have installed new ZTherapy carbs, set the points but haven't done the 
valves yet.  When I tried to get the car going, it would only start with the 
distributor turned all the way 1 way, (clockwise I think) and then it would 
only seem to run at 3000 or so rpms   I haven't had time to mess with it 
extensivly yet, but any suggestions on what to do would be apreciated.
Thanks again
Mick
