Hi Wade. Have you tried chrome polish like "Simichrome" or equivalent? This type of polish might help to reduce those darned freckles! Craig Wiper craigw@sonic.net http://www.sonic.net/~craigw

I put a set of new GT springs on my early '74 B a few years ago along with a conversion to tube shocks (rear only). I like the springs' feel. There are 7 leaves instead of the roadster's 6. The car i

Seems like the simplest thing to do would be to first replace the switching unit on the overdrive and see if that changes your situation. Also, make sure the contacts in the hand-operated switch are

Just out of high school, I had a '66B that had a stow-away top. I loved it. It was very simple to use and store. So, I replaced the top on my early '74 B with a stow-away. I'll never go back! Craig W

Take it off. Open it up and install Grose Jets instead of the needle valve. While it's off, use your manual to do a check and see if the float is adjusted properly. Craig Wiper craigw@sonic.net http:
