Off the top of my head: Besides the interior and headlight surrounds, I'm pretty sure that the lip seal as opposed to the rope seal for ...   11-09-2018 05:09 am

Don, I did the Spiyda RVC conversion on mine and I never got the calibration signal to work either. I ended up just using ...   10-02-2018 06:14 pm

No, the rebuilt Lucas has been perfect. Problem was that my original distributor, the one that came with the car, was a 45D4, not ...   09-22-2018 08:07 am

Do yourself a favor (I learned this one the hard way). While you have the transmission out, loosen the fill plug (not the drain plug, you ...   08-29-2018 11:33 pm

Actually, it's a pretty simple fix to remove the longer turn signal stalk from your old switch and install it on the MGB switch (along ...   08-15-2018 10:32 pm

It does pull out from the front. From memory: remove the radio retaining hardware (that's basically what's holding the panel in place). Then, ...   07-18-2018 09:09 pm

You're talking about the steel bumpers with the stainless top panel, right? Yes, matte black. ...   06-24-2018 06:10 am

It was great to meet you, Chris. Glad you enjoyed your time here. Hopefully you'll be able to make future events! ...   06-18-2018 11:06 pm

Is this Jay from Minnesota? I've got at least one extra column... more for you to look at when you visit, right? ...   06-02-2018 08:26 am

Excellent. That's about an hour and a half from us. ...   05-18-2018 06:43 pm

Hey Chris: where in Wisconsin? That's where I am. ...   05-15-2018 06:56 am

Hope you can make it, Chris! I think you'll find it worth the trip. ...   04-24-2018 10:53 pm

Hey Sander! I replied on the Jensen-cars list, but just in case you see me here: I'll try to get hold of Kathy tomorrow ...   03-15-2018 07:43 am

Well, the good news is that you probably don't need it anyway as I'd guess it doesn't work. The other important thing to note ...   03-10-2018 04:19 am
