Nicely done! You beat me to it by a couple of hours!

I'd be interested to know this myself, as I am located in U.S. state of Ohio, and have the same issues.

Very close to me here in the States.........Tempting........What would it hurt to just have a look......?

Just wanted to give you guys and gals a quick congratulations and a hearty "Well Done" from the United States for the recent victory by Brad Wiggins!

favorite tool is my welder because it's fun to use, can stick things together so they won't come apart, involves spark for visual satisfaction, and electricity for technical satisfaction, creates wonderful buzzing noises and noxious very garage repair like fumes, it's great to see a once rusty...

Looks to me like someone who has way too much money and wanted to see what his ride would look like in a classified ad. Does not look like someone who actually wishes to sell a vehicle.

Oh yes, that was included on my checks! You never know, it may have been pushed out by oil! in any case, most assuredly NOT a bad fuel pump, so it must be something else. i measured the actuating rod, and it is 1.208" or 1 3/16". i measured the distance from the base of the fuel pump to the...

The lobe is shown in the parts manual in the diagram for the oil pump and tensioners. In the attached pic, the lobe on bottom of distributor is shown at number 17. The push rod is shown as number 60. I had a similar problem with my car 2 years ago where i could not get fuel to carbs. I ended...

Unfortunately, living in the U.S., i don't have the possibility of spares, or for that matter, a parts manual. Been looking for the parts manual for over a year, and have found a few pretty ratty ones, and am not about to shell out the asking prices for these (and neither is anyone else, as, a...

That.....Is hilarious....!!!!

Yes, I had a spare (new never been used) fuel pump, and put it on, and I did check out the old pump, both look fine, and you can watch the actuator move correctly as you push the priming lever. In addition, I pulled the pump back off, and spun the engine by hand with a socket while holding a...

My 1968 2000 TC has stopped running again, so tracking down the problem, resulted in a no fuel to carburettors. Further digging around revealed that the fuel pump is not working. I eliminated the possibilities of a clogged filter, leak in the lines, bad fuel, and so on by changing out the fuel...

Nice acquisition, thumbs up!

Amazing how far technology has brought us. Dodge, in North America, has announced a new Dart for 2013, a front wheel drive car that will share it's chassis and other components with the Alfa Romeo Gulietta . The racing version, which will compete in the Global RallyCross Championship, a race...

My first car was a '65 Mustang, 289, automatic coupe. Had a friend's first car was a '66 Barracuda, 273, automatic. The mustang outran the Barracuda consistently on the straights, the Barracuda out handled the Mustang on anything twisty, but I always caught him. Incidently, the Mustang ended...
