When I am driving the Magnette I can hear a regular clicking from the boot - I guess this is the fuel pump keeping the fuel flowing. Question is - can I reduce the noise. I thought of insulating the pump with something - felt or something like that, but wondered if that would cause any overheating. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
If the fuse blows when you operate the indicator switch, then I would suspect that there is a live wire being short circuited to earth (ground) within the switch mechanism.
I'm getting feedback from my axle customers that going to 85 and then up as necessary to align a slot puts you to as much as 170. So it looks as though the torque value goes up quick. I do think 150 is better than 85 or 170 but the problem here is how to achieve the 150 without a lot of effort. Swapping the nuts and or washers side to side might allow better fits but that's the only...
Bruce, Biggest expense should be a circulating pump. When we installed the new boiler in my house the contractor dropped my pump (cast) and broke a flange. That's the one I gave to my friend for his system. ($300 pump) I should be getting over there in the next couple days and will get you a pic of his system ...if he got it up & running.
I'm not in the pertronix camp. Yes, Jeff installs them on quite a few of his rebuilds, but he sayes that the best thing about them is that will mask worn bushes or other distributor problems. A refurbished distributor from Advanced Distributors will have tighter than original tolerances, a more precise stop arm, and properly adjusted advance springs.

John, Originally the pick-up was mounted in the radiator. This gives you the water temp in the radiator. During warm up this does not reflect the actual water temp in the engine where it really matters. By moving the pick-up to read water temp before the thermostat I know what is going on in the engine.
Not having any welding skills I just drilled and tapped the elbow for a pipe threa...
As nice a '52 TD that you will find. Cream with red leather interior and proper matching red grille slats.
Less than 200 miles since frame-off restoration. Details you wont find in most restorations such as underdash panels and proper felt lining in tool box and sidecurtain pocket. Sunfast canvas top and tonneau cover.
Sidecurtain frames were restored but not covered. I will provid...

There were very few Arnolt MG�s ever produced and this particular car has already had a lot of time and money put into it. The restoration on this coupe was not completed because of the passing away of the owner. Body work is all finished and new leather interior installed. Original engine is still with the car and all other components to complete are included. This is An excellent investment op...
I find it fitting that it was from this site that I found and bought this car in 2002. It has been a joy to own and drive. I've met wonderful people along the way, and enjoyed meeting strangers as they admired the car.
Alas, family changes mean it is time to sell. I'll post pics later, or email me directly.
This is a 1967, in wonderful shape. It has run like a top since day one...

Buying a cheap car can be very easy these days. If you are a new young driver and looking for a bargain then visiting a second hand car website would be the most efficient option.
