I’ve found that you cannot post photos from an iphone or ipad. Gotta use the desktop or laptop.

Bit the bullet and sprung for Holley’s Sniper EFI conversion kit. It replaces the 4 barrel carb with throttle bodies. Had to upgrade the electric fuel pump and filters and run a vent line back to the tank and run a few wires. Damn thing would not fire. An hour and a half on hold over the course of two days with Holley Tech Line and problem r…[Read more]

That’s a smart thought John. I bet it’s set to 8 cylinders.

Please folks, if you haven’t yet, sign up for Carlisle Gate & Go ASAP. Deadline is end of March. As in the past, the more people we get who sign up as part of the Speedster gathering the more likely it is we’ll get a free thing.

You want a NON-JUDGED SHOWFIELD Gate & Go pass; sign up here. Remember to go to the club affiliation drop-down menu…[Read more]

The cable can be easy or it can be a deuce of a job. Here’s me struggling with the one in Bridget a few years ago.

Addendum: New this year is the inaugural event of the Acme Cup Valve Cover Racing Series. Details here.

I’m planing on making something for the track.

As always the Speedster Owners Group is arranging a gathering starting Wednesday May 11. We’ll have a tent on the field and tables and chairs. This year the dune buggy guys are setting up an epic valve cover race track which will be on the showfield. If you want in email Andy Burger, afburger@gmail.com and he’ll send you build specs and rules. F…[Read more]

There are a few cars with bucket seats. On a VW pan-based car, the tunnel spreads out toward the back and makes it hard to fit a wide seat and impossible to move it further back, but you can lean it.

If you’re looking for more room, cutting the seat back for height and moving it back onto the storage area is quite easy. Just mount it where you’re comfortable. Perfect time to add seat heaters.

Unfortunately copy and paste have decided not to cooperate today.

The website is “www.carlisleevents.com”. Under event schedule you’ll find the “Import and Performance Nationals”.

We piggyback with another club, the “Speedster Owners Group”, and take over a local hotel for an extended weekend. Dedicated parking area with space for trailers and…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum, John!

Welcome, John.

Very pretty car. Love the color scheme.

Don’t know where you’re from, but the big meet at Carlisle is coming up May 14-15. If you can make it we’d love to see it.

Originally these were not painted. It’s gel coat.I painted mine in ignorance. The gel coat could probably have been brought back to life.

There is a thread or two in the forums.

Welcome…Enjoy!

Check the connections before replacing the switch. Grounds are gremlins on TDrs.

Also make sure the car is actually shifted into reverse. When I was putting together my Spyder the backup light gave me a heart attack when it wouldn’t work despite my shifting it into reverse to test. I checked the light, the wires, connections and even the switch…[Read more]

Same hotel. Probably no banquet again this year cuz it’s on me and I have not had the energy to do what I’m supposed to do. Will advise.

Al, that usually is covered by the Speedster group. Once they negotiate the dates and rooms they will post. Most likely we’ll be back at the Marriott in Mechanicsburg.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Don’t forget to register as a member of the Speedsters Owners.
