new wire harness. As I said the borrowed gauge worked fine. I have spoken
to him and he is willing to recheck it. I saw the link to the testing and
have put some 68 Ohm resistors in my bag to try and do that before I send
it back. I think we have all had mixed results with most vendors and there
are some we would never use again, while others offer high praise.

If you are referring to the MGA guru links that describe re calibrating then=
 take note.  The MGA uses a Jaeger gauge and sender rated at 68ohms on full t=
ank.  The Smiths gauges should be calibrated to 90ohms at full.  If the send=
er is a repro measure the maximum resistance before starting down the route o=
f building a rig.

My repro from Ahead 4 Healeys reads 107ohms at max!

Best.

Ira, if you are following the fuel gauge calibration procedure at =
mgaguru.com for the Jaeger MG gauge then the 68 ohm resistors do not =
apply.  The Healey Smith gauge reads full somewhere around 90 ohms.

OK,
I think it said 68 ohms at half full.
I'll look for 90 Ohm resisters too.

OK Everyone,

I never said he was a Con Man, someone just asked if he was.  Here's what
happened with Morris...

*"First of all he used to be partnered with Margaret Lucas, hence her
business MO-MA, for MOrris and MArgaret.  She dumped him years ago due to
incompetence.  I know, I used her for years in LA and she told me
personally.  My one interaction with him was on my BN1 gauges, he ruined
the faces, glued the wrong reflex lenses in for ignition and high beam
(after I told him which ones to use) and then leaked glue all over the near
perfect faces, ruining them.  He then never made good on finding me new
faces.  I found them myself at my considerable expense. I also hand made
the correct odometer reset knob which was missing (It was quite a nice
piece of craftsmanship) and one of his ham-fisted idiots ruined it trying
to install it on the shaft.  When my craftsmanship exceeds that of the so
called professionals that I'm paying good money to, then I raise the BS
flag.  He was arrogant and unrepentant during the whole process.Good luck
having him make good on this.*"

Now there were other issues too, but I was looking for Concours quality,
briefed him on this before hand, and he said he was up to the task... He
was NOT!  So, if you just want driver quality, and don't care about details
and/or getting things exactly correct, then I guess Morris Mintz is your
man.  But as I already stated... he screwed up, admitted as such, and then
just gave up and never made good on his mistakes.  Now Margaret Lucas
(MO-MA) in her later years was no better either, and I stopped using her
too.  I last time I used MO-MA over 20 years ago.
