I’m worried it’ll be rainy & cold all summer. It’s gonne either be
that or drought and 110 degrees every day. Guess we’ll find out.Meantime, contemplating taking her again tomorrow. Forecast here is 64 and sunny.

I believe this might be it nothing comming in the next 15 days .That will put us the middle of march. Around here we say March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb so after the next 15 days that will put us in the lamb stage

Wow. $1500! Glad you could get it done. But, man, if the hood on these things is worth $1500 then the whole kit ought to be about $10,000.(Which it was, of course, 30 years ago) (Not adjusted for inflation).Amazing then that more or less complete old kits are floating around on the Bay & Craigslist for a few hunnert. Total business opportunity!…[Read more]

‘Bout time you got some snow up there though, eh?

Today we had 8 inches of snow 40 mph winds a good day for south of buffalo wednesday calling for 51 degrees.  

Cookdog here Found someone to make a hood for my Classic Roadsters MGTD here in north Phoenix. $1500.00Got it back and on the car. The car is now running after 9 years but am having problems in Arizona getting a title for it. The transportation company would not claim any liable for the lost hood. They said go head and sue us the lawsuit would…[Read more]

YEAH!!Bet she settles right down with that vacuum leak taken care of.:-)

Turns out that 135# is an expected compression reading.  Found a major vacuum leak where 1/4 of the carb to intake manifold gasket was missing.  I hope to gain more control of engine idle speed (it wanted to idle high) and smoothness when I get it running.  So far, it has taken me much longer to clean, straighten, align and install all the tin w…[Read more]

Ordered the relay kit today. 

Run your lights through a relay instead of just through the fuse box.  The lights will brighten right up.

Man I’m so envious of you guys living in the warm areas.  34* and windy here in Ohio.   No rides this week end,  guess I shouldn’t complain, so far it’s really been a mild winter.   My head lights work great  the few times I’ve been out after dark.   I’m not sure if they are anything special,  I think just whatever CMC used when it was built. 

I don’t know. I have a pair of H6024 lamps on mine and I feel

Marc, You are right of course.  I wasn’t very descriptive in calling it an offset bracket.  But… isn’t the cooler itself the same?  ie., the same old 1500 cooler with a new mounting bracket that has internal passages instead of mounting directly to the top of the case?  The result being that the cooler is moved a few inches forward, out of the d…[Read more]

The doghouse shroud should also have the newer offset oil cooler with it to work that much more effectively. It’s not only the shroud that should be replaced, it’s the newer version of the oil cooler also.mrlmd2012-02-24 20:17:01

Get out there, boys.:-)

I burn 87 octane without any ill effects. It’s important to realize that
the “high performance” you get with higher octane is by definition
related only to the fuel’s ability to resist detonation under high
compression. In a ’68 Hemi with 11-to-1 static compression ratio, I’d
burn 93 with some “octane 104” or lead additive. In a ’68 1500 sp…[Read more]

It’s 72 deg. in sunny calif. don’t need the top on, don’t need to worry about the lights mine seam to be pretty bright. just need to put the MG covers on the head lights ? 

Here’s some information on running unleaded fuel in older engines.

To get this back on topic, it is 78F righ now in Phoenix, and tomorrow’s forcast is 81, sunny and no precipitation.  Time for some top down fun in the sun.  No dim lights needed.

I third it.  Thanks for all you guys are doing.
