Anyone ever had their mechanical tach run too high at higher RPM's? It's
pretty close to correct on the low range of the gauge, but at 3400 RPM, my
needle says 4000!! I knew I had a problem and confirmed it with an electronic
tach. The cable is new, and on top of that I used liquid graphite the

Stuart,
Unfortunately, that method is probably the only way to achieve the
firmness that is required in those places. THe deterioration is due to
the glue giving up over the years allowing the particles to separate

of yellow p
I bought some stuff on ebay recently and thought I got a sweet deal.
'73 Spit under bumper frame covers, 50.00
'72 gas cap, 6.00
'73 NOS Tach Smith # RN1326/00A, 40.00
My '73 covers were smoother than the ebay ones, but the bolt hole tabs were
broken off.
My '77 Gas cap was cracked at the pivot pin
I remember seeing a couple strings about this the past year or so, but don't remember
a successful resolution. Has anyone ever found a source of better replacement seat
foams for the Spitfires (particularly the 1500's) than those of the "pressed/glued
foam remnant" variety sold by Victoria Brit

Yes! btdt. If you lift the ring off now, you'll see that you probably
shaved off a bit of the plastic inside grooves, inside the ring.
Clean them out and it'll probably still go right back on.. now that you've
'clearanced' it :-)

Hi All,
Just thought I would impart some info that I gleaned from an
engine builder friend of mine. I mentioned to him that I had cleaned the
butterflies on my SU's, he said that I would have some trouble getting the
carbs to idle until the carbon build up was back on the edges of th

I used the whole Midget setup on my wife's '73 1500 with the stock 1500
cable. Works great.
Cheers!

Interesting thread... I'm on my second Pertronix unit (1149C) as the first one
I purchased was sold with the last car I put it on. I love those things! But
this time around, I really had trouble getting the magnetic ring seated, and
actually had to use an open socket and mallet to press it into p
The only difference (if any really) is slight 'magnetic ring'
outer diameter and where/how the module is positioned
on it's mount plate to se the proper gap of the unit.

The engine is definitely NOT intended to be exactly centered on chassis centerline.
If you cannot get the bolts, etc to all line up, I would suspect that your car

Good question. I was wondering myself. It is odd, because the distributor models
take the same type of points, but Pertronix lists different models of
the Ignitor for them. It would be nice to know the EXACT differences between

Probably nothing is wrong with your system. It is normal to have a light drag
on the front brakes. If the front hubs and lug nuts are not too hot to touch after
driving, I would not worry too much.
Having said that, there is one potential situation, which happened to me once:
If the M/C piston i

Do you know if he gains anything from a better advance curve with the
earlier unit? I couldn't find anything on it when I looked at Pauls

Figured you might know since you do a lot with the earlier Spitfires.

Hi all,
I've a small problem which seems to be getting slightly worse recently. My brakes are
dragging slightly. I've not checked the rears yet but both front wheels are picking up
slight drag (I can spin the wheels by hand but it stops as soon as I stop spinning
it.) The m/c is slightly down o
