I’m considering this…assuming I get the TD running soon and can put some miles on her before I take a highway run like that.Stay tuned….

That’s a rough Allison that was ridden hard and put away wet. And used she was, at 60,000 miles. That might be some sort of MG TD replica record!At least the seller is honest, “project car.”Would love to know how the fan shroud got so rusty. But my fave is the drip pan under the engine. A sign of an oil leaker!

Bill, It doesn’t look like there is much interest in this show.  I wrote to them and got a bit of info:

All the VW 1600 gaskets will fit.  The trick is to make sure that all the old gasket material and sealant is off of the cover as well as the valve head.  If you get them nice and clean, they won’t leak.

Here’s what I got from the folks on the Samba. It pretty much says what Royal did.

Nice!

Samba>65 rear brake drums:

I have thre different shop manuals and none of them cover that detail. It’s not even in the Muir book. Will have to drop in on the Samba crew. Perhaps one of them.

 This thread taught me something today.I thought that the LR’s on VW pans had the bumps on the running boards and that the custom chassis models did not. After reading Roy’s comment the bumps, I looked in the old photo gallery and saw that JBerry’s car has bumps but MGLRoadste’s car does not. Both cars are custom chassis models. You never get too…[Read more]

We’ll be looking into vacation schedules to see if we can make it.

That’s a lot like the Wings and Wheels show at the Air Force Museum here in Warner Robins later this month. newkitman2012-09-01 18:32:07

This place is not only cool.  It is exceptionally cool.  The site is beautiful and loaded with antique vintage military airplanes that still run.  This is a functioning special use airport with very capable machine shop capabilities.  You will be impressed with the planes.  They get them out and run them regularly.  If any of you are inter…[Read more]

I’ve installed filters but I don’t put them in the line from the pump to the carb. I put them up front just above where the fuel tube enters the tunnel and I usually use a lawn mower filter. I change them once a year. Might use the colored metal filters I’ve seen in Mid America’s parts catalogue.

should the gas in the filter remain at the same level. When i start it its full drive down the road five miles its half full come home park it it fills up
