That’s pretty bad for a VW based TD. My 300hp 302 V8 delivers me 10 MPG.

By chance would anyone have a steering column from the Ford Pinto available? Preferably near southeast PA. My lower bearing has disintegrated and is no longer available.
billnparts replied to the topic Lindon Roadster parts? in the forum General Discussion 6 months ago

Well if a ready made top is not available, the next best option would be to have one made. A good tri, shop would be able to make one from scratch. check out boat upholsterers.

billnparts started the topic Pocono Raceway in the forum Clubs and Show 7 months ago

Well, I checked another item from my bucket list. I went and took my MG to Pocono Raceway last Thursday for one of the SCCA’s Track Night in America events. This video is from one of four sessions they give you. There are different classes relating to skill level. This is from a Novice session. I’ve a lot of seat time racing this car, but it was…[Read more]

As I recall it’s on the left side of the block just above the oil pan on a flat boss apx. halfway along the block. When mine pulled out I simply epoxied it back in.

billnparts replied to the topic TOWING in the forum General Discussion 8 months, 1 week ago

I just flat towed my TDr 3-1/2 hours each way last weekend. Make sure it’s in neutral, parking brake is off and the column is unlocked.

Here is the post that the late great Royal Hendrix posted some years ago. He addresses about everything.

This is a video of my MG and I enjoying a run around the Shenandoah circuit at Summit Point Motorsport Park last Sunday, Sept. 1. This was my first time at this circuit. This was fun!

billnparts replied to the topic Daytona migi needs new gauges or old fixed in the forum General Discussion 8 months, 1 week ago

I’ve searched through the black hole that is my garage and the only tachometer I found was a Stewart Warner unit. Odd, because I removed VDO from the car and installed Stewart Warner. Sorry, I can’t help you.
billnparts replied to the topic Daytona migi needs new gauges or old fixed in the forum General Discussion 8 months, 1 week ago

I have a set of VDO Vintage gauges that I removed several years ago. They were the “Vintage” series. What are you in need of?
billnparts replied to the topic Duryea Hillclimb 2024 in the forum Clubs and Show 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Try as I might, I am not able to convert my video to a format that I can export.

Anyway, this weekend I’m heading to Summit Point. The 2+ mile Shenandoah circuit is one I have yet to run. Wish me luck.
billnparts replied to the topic Insurance Appraisal in the forum General Discussion 8 months, 3 weeks ago

As did Mark, I also went with agreed value with Hagerty. It’s hard to apply a hard and fast value on these as they are all different.
billnparts started the topic Duryea Hillclimb 2024 in the forum Clubs and Show 8 months, 3 weeks ago

Another Duryea Hillclimb is in the books. The weather forecast called for rain both Saturday and Sunday. I contemplated not running but decided I’d just go and have fun playing in the wet. My first run was a 182.5 seconds. The rain stopped but the road was still wet and I dropped to 156.3 after my third run. A lot of folks packed up and left…[Read more]

billnparts replied to the topic Question about glass fuse system in Ford Duchess kit in the forum General Discussion 8 months, 3 weeks ago

Pretty much. The fuse panel should have both “Hot all the time” as well as “Hot with key on only”. If you have wiring with melted insulation, replace the wires. Good luck.
