Re: Roots Superchargers (score: 1): Author: Randy Wilson <randy@taylor.wyvern.com>; Date: Tue, 22 Mar 1994 18:02:58 -0500 (EST); The area above the piston (sealed by a diaphragm only in the ZS) is vented only to the throttle bore just down stream of the bridge.

However, I'm in a weird mood, and feel like explaining what was going on. The thumb wheel on the advance can does not restrict movement in any way.

Today all the mail seems to be from brit-cars-request rather than MJB.

Re: slow oil guages (score: 1): Author: Randy Wilson <randy@taylor.wyvern.com>; Date: Thu, 24 Mar 1994 00:17:16 -0500 (EST); If the oil emptied out of the gauge tube, then you either have an air leak at the gauge, or you didn't bleed the air out of the line when installing the new tube.

Re: Fading Brake Pedal (score: 1): Author: Randy Wilson <randy@taylor.wyvern.com>; Date: Thu, 24 Mar 1994 00:27:57 -0500 (EST); A pedal that goes to the floor, and only firms up after some vigorous pumping is the classic case of air in the lines.

First off, make sure you have the vacuum lines on the switch in the correct order. The switch is not symetrical. The nipple that points up goes to the intake manifold.

This will work if the nut was carefully torqued to factory specs. Alas, these overly cost-reduced switches fail quite often,; /html/british-cars/1994-01/msg00195.html (11,183 bytes)
