I'm looking for feedback about reasonable asking price. I live in southeastern Washington. Car not currently running, needs engine work. Head is off. I think the engine problem is related to a broken oil pump resulting in the two seized valves on #4. But that is just a guess since I haven't had the time to check further. Loss of #4 resulted in loss of power, the engine was immediately shut down and the car towed home. Second owner. Purchase July 1990 at 49k, garaged 90% of time when not driven. Seldom driven in winter. Driven on several long trips, up to 2000 miles, as a daily driver in good weather. Current mileage: 94k + Includes: Hard top, soft top, tonneau cover, spare tire cover, 1 set American mag wheels and 1 set of OEM Wheels and caps, extra (new) front road springs (replacemnts for current road springs that still function), 1 extra (new) steering gear (replacement for still functioning current gear), two used spare differentials, OEM installed luggage rack, misc other bits and pieces. A rebuilt 3 rail transmission with J-type OD installed 2003 @ mileage 84317. The transmission and OD have worked flawlessly. Engine rebuilt just prior to this with flat top pistons, stainless steel headers and stainless steel muffler and tail pipe. Weber DGV carburetor. Electric fuel pump, mechanical fuel pump still in place. SS braided brake hoses installed. Rear air shocks installed.

If you use a Pertronix, make sure to feed it with a full 12 volts and not through the ballast resistor/wire. The lower voltage will kill the unit.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net So ever since I rebuilt my transmission, it has been taking longer & longer to engage the overdrive. This means it has been low on tranny fluid. A fill-up fixes it, but I want to fix the root cause. When I did a tranny rebuild, I instead used my own cut gaskets & sealant instead of the thin paper gaskets. I'm wondering if I messed up somewhere. Is it difficult to fix said transmission leak without having to take the transmission out again? I feel dumb not checking this before putting it back in. _______________________________________________ Spitfires@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net Mon Sep 15 15:53:53 2014 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 36DC925848B7 for ; Mon, 15 Sep 2014 15:53:53 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spitfires@autox.team.net Received: from mta11.charter.net (mta11.charter.net [216.33.127.80]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7597D258083A for ; Mon, 15 Sep 2014 15:46:54 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imp09 ([10.20.200.9]) by mta11.charter.net (InterMail vM.8.01.05.09 201-2260-151-124-20120717) with ESMTP id <20140915214946.UMAG4658.mta11.charter.net@imp09> for ; Mon, 15 Sep 2014 17:49:46 -0400 Received: from mtaout004.msg.strl.va.charter.net ([68.114.190.29]) by imp09 with smtp.charter.net id rZpm1o0030eWGlw05ZpmYk; Mon, 15 Sep 2014 17:49:46 -0400 Received: from impout003 ([68.114.189.18]) by mtaout004.msg.strl.va.charter.net (InterMail vM.9.00.013.00 201-2473-140) with ESMTP id <20140915214946.LZZN13360.mtaout004.msg.strl.va.charter.net@impout003> for ; Mon, 15 Sep 2014 16:49:46 -0500 Received: from [127.0.0.1] ([71.82.73.87]) by impout003 with charter.net id rZpl1o0031szk9j01ZpmZj; Mon, 15 Sep 2014 16:49:46 -0500 a=um77O+fGdo0qEOTBd8rsCQ==:117 a=um77O+fGdo0qEOTBd8rsCQ==:17 a=hOpmn2quAAAA:8 a=tcnv99F1KMcA:10 a=oqP10JP3_DQA:10 a=rXR2_Q8MaZcA:10 a=yUnIBFQkZM0A:10 a=8nJEP1OIZ-IA:10 a=OUY_9VM_L8dh4nav-2EA:9 a=wPNLvfGTeEIA:10 a=mBSZF3wbcW4A:10 a=kLW3w-3FI9gA:10 Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2014 17:49:14 -0400 From: Glenn Franco User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.6.0 To: "spitfires@autox.team.net" Subject: [Spits] New British Motor Heritage Mark 4, 1500 Spitfire Bonnet For Sale Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net Group Not to be confused with the problems with someones Mark 3 bonnet, I have a new, British Motor Heritage Bonnet for the Mark 4 or 1500 Spitfire for sale on ebay for $750 or best offer.

You can probably use any source that provides 12 volts crank and run OR bypass the ballast resistor(running a non-ballasted wire next to it is sufficient without disconnecting the ballast wire sincethe current will take the easier path) and change your 6 volt coil to a 12 volt.
