The same thing happened to me. Mine turned out to be the gas filter. Sometimes so i’ve been told they put 2 in. One just before the carb and the other befoe the pump 2 dollars at auto zone and i also found them at a flea market for 1 dollar . I am also told there is a screen where the fuel line goes into the carb that sometmes needs to be cle…[Read more]

What electronic ignition system did you install?

I had my engine rebuilt, I thoroughly cleaned the carb (multiple times just to be sure), cleaned out the whole fuel system, and my car kept suddenly dying when on the road. I even checked the resistance of both windings of the coil and they were within specs, but as a last resort, I changed the coil, and it runs perfectly now. Sometimes when the…[Read more]

I’ve been lookin at head lights and rear ends since about 13 , even the ones on cars.  At 60 still lookin and enjoying both.

Rocky, We’re leaving from Warner Robins on the Thursday night after work and plan on arriving sometime around noon on Friday. perhaps we can meet somewhere along the route.

Rocky, what will you be driving up? Maybe you can caravan with some club members. I’m heading up Friday a.m. from Baltimore.Look forward to meeting you.

Many thanks for all of the info!

Paypal payment sent to Bill for two.  My Chevy/MG hot rod has a badge bar, and I’ll get one for the London Roadster.

Well the car won’t be ready but I decided I’m going anyway.  I need a long break and a road trip to this show will be just the ticket.I know I’m a late comer but I had a glimmer of hope that my ride would be ready by then so I was holding out to see if I could drive her up.  No such luck.I’ll likely arrive sometime on Friday and would like to p…[Read more]

looks a lot like the bmw 319 that sold for 125000.oo

Thanks, Randy. Bridget has but 6 fuses, so I think any new panel will probably expand the number. She’s good to go for now though. It was a hot wire into one of the fuse blocks–too much wire for the hole, maybe, so probably a good thing to split that one into two or more fuses. I’ll get to it when I redo the dash.What speedo do you have, BTW?…[Read more]

I think you probably have a problem with your fuse panel.  I had to replace mine once and couldn’t find the exact one so I had to put in two smaller ones, in series, in order to house all the fuses. By the way, I finally found a suitable mechanical trip-reset VDO speedometer on Craigs list but had to enlarge the hole in the dash board a bit to…[Read more]

Looks quite similar to a Jaguar-engined “special” sold out of the late
Ted Leonard’s collection a couple years back. The front was mostly SS
100, in my judgment. But I couldn’t make out the back. now I understand.Leonard’s early ’50s “Special” (last seen in France, circa 2010):Atalanta 1938 LeMans entry (V12 powered, I believe):

BTW, I believe…[Read more]

West Marine has a good assortment of fuse blocks..

…and fixed. Just put a new fuse block on my shopping list though.

I think this is the motor I got–AFI has one that looks like it but only an 80 degree sweep. This one is 110 degrees and that makes a difference; I can get the blades to park nice and high on the windscreen and still wipe well past vertical. Price should be $60-$70. You’ll see them listed for $130, but no point paying that. This one is also…[Read more]
