Re: Locking out timing on a street car

I've had multiple goes at this over different motor and ignitions. The current motor is the only one I've been able to run vac advance on - but whilst I can see it knocks the idle timing wildly I cant say I notice any driving difference to when its locked in. It certainly aint economical :-k

Re: Rear window corner trim 68-70 Charger

These tend to be like rocking horse poo.

There was a repro house did the whole set a while ago - the entire rear window - but wasnt cheap.
I realise that isnt helpful; but it might be cheaper to refinish what you have

Re: Raising car on 4 axle stands

Pete, as ever, bang on. To get the thing up, let the rear axle do the pivot. Personally, soon as I can, I get the stands under the 'box rails' (the bits ...

Re: Antifreeze.

Had 2 lots of Prestone in the new engine and it seems to go rusty real fast - its now brown opaque rather than bright yellow.

Re: Valvoline VR1

Immediate thought is "Change it anyway" - just sitting they take on moisture etc - I change mine at LEAST once/yr.
Sometimes it comes out clear ! Less than the price of a fill up - its small beans. Just change it anyway.

Pretty sure I got my last Lucas at the oil place at Bicester scramble.
Opie oils very good rep - I used to know the owner through cars - he was on the RX8 committee in the early days.

Re: Fuel line replacement

I've just done all my fuel lines with flexis and a mechanical pump (carter).
In line cartridge filter; earls fittings throughout - lovely job and perfectly man enough for my 475hp through a carb.
Dont overthink it if your setup is simple. (I'll fit the return if I ever fit the EFi)
