Quick and easy — fits right on the top of the carb.

Unfortunately, southern Cal is a VERY long drive from the west coast of Canada and those of us that still have to work cannot justify the time required.  I have driven it only twice, it is quicker and much more comfortable on a commercial aircraft.We will be at a conference in Newport in mid April but doubt I will have time to meet anyone on that…[Read more]

I suggest you do it.  Now is the best time. You will not be sorry.  You likely will be sorry if you don’t.Phil

Mine is the same as newkitman  — along the right side of the passenger (right) side with the rest of the wiring harness under the inner fiberglass flange.  If I remember correctly that is where the manual says to route it.Phil

” And still looking for that M10-1.25 coupler for my brake pedal assembly.” I suggest the easiest way would be to take it to a welder.

I separated the cold air side of the engine from the hot side.  I don’t think the temp gauge has ever registered above 210

What fence?It’s “The longest undefended border in the world.” But I would not recommend trying to cross it without going thru the proper access points.   Both the Canadian and American authorities take that kind of activity VERY seriously.Usually when you see a fence it is there to keep the farmer’s livestock in.  When there is a parallel road on…[Read more]

I live in south west British Columbia in Canada.  The road is in Canada, the field on the other side is in the USA.

This car is located about 30 minutes from me.  If someone is interested, I could try to go see it for them.Phil

Thanks— The answers confirm what I was suspecting.  The ride height is fine — so will not remove any leaves.

Had a little issue last night on the freeway.–  The end of the left front spindle broke off.   So a question since I have the front end apart can I get away with removing any of the torsion leaves to soften the ride if I have cut and turned the tube during construction as per the instruction manual. (This site did not exist when I was doing the…[Read more]

I got my wipers to park correctly by inserting a diode into the park circuit of the motor.

The cars I have owned — You guys have me beat several times over.
1962 Ford Anglia  replaced about two years later with a more reliable–
1974 VW Beetle
1990 Honda Civic
1997 Toyota Camry  —  Still Driving it.
Garage kept, well maintained and well built cars can last a long time.

I bought the older style — it required a whole lot less work to remove the seat tracks.

Measure 5 times cut once.
Measure 5 times  tack weld  — measure again and complete your weld.  I had a professional do the welding  — you do not want that weld to fail when you hit a bump in the road.
I did all the before measuring in my garage and then cut off the old one then took it to the shop — the guy was great and let me have the use of…[Read more]
