As a matter of fact, I was blowing air with a ten foot hose. That dried up
the pesky residual gasoline and dispersed some of that explosive vapor. If
that is bad, I don't recommend it.
When I grind or sand on the tank, some vinegar burps up and is bubbling the
paint. I can remove the paint with my

Spitted ones,
Does anyone have the original inner window seals (the fuzzy ones) still
on their car? I know that I changed them on mine many years ago, and am
wondering why the last approximately inch on each end is cut away. I

that I used the originals as a pattern when I cut them down, but I

pins 4 to 8 of the integrated ckt on the board inside your
tach is all that's needed (and a known
Ok... I have a Smiths electronic tacho from my old 1500... and I have a
mechanical tacho from my Mk3 - which I cant use because Im using a Lucas
