Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I put my tires and wheels on tonight and got my Dakota Digital VHX gauges all wired up. Pics of the dash later.

Post Re : Vapor Locking

This can easily be cured by either adding one ounce of oil to each full tank of fuel or , better IMO , getting the $10 used transistorized S.U. electric fuel pump from underneath any old British car with carbys , I know your local Pick-A-Part yards get them in often .

Then just wire up a momentary pushbutton under the dashboard and when it begins to sputter , hold the button down until it stops .

The trick is getting an E- pump that won't have too much pressure , those pressure regulator things are crap , always so getting an E-Pump made for carbys , it the key ~ ALL MG's made after 1976 have the vastly improved S.U. E - pump that's not possible to flood your engine , no points to worry about either .

FWIW , if you ever find aluminum clothes pins , they help a lot too but very hard to find these days .
