I once needed a coil. Borrowed it from a fellow VW person. And my voltage regulator (in)famously failed on the way out to Pittsburgh a few years back, but the P.O. had thoughtfully stowed a good one under the passenger seat, so no problemo.

I’m at the very end of finishing up the center mount Weber Carb install on Emma and have been driving around town to “road test” her prior to taking a long trip to the beach.

Great article. I love that the Miller (later Miller-Offenhauser) engines were running dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder and boost during the Prohibition Era. Kind of puts into context the 1988 Olds Quad 4, eh?

I don’t understand Mossberg at all now. It’s like he’s gone all soft and Teutonic. Heat?!

Ed’s reasoning that the Brooklands is the reason for Bill’s time improvement is certainly simpler than my suggestions….and the simplest solution is usually the right one.
Maybe Ed meant Occam’s Razor’s edge vs racer’s edge???
