Hello all,
Looking forward to hosting you all at my house next Tuesday. For those of you who came last time I just want to clarify that this time we will be meeting at my house and not at the church.
If the weather takes a turn we are able to meet inside with plenty of space at the Carriage House at the church.
For those of you who are able to come earlier, I would appreciate the help with diagnosing issues with my 1979 MGB. I believe it to be a problem with the distributor and/or timing. I indicated to Lambert that I had the original ZS carb setup, not to indicate a problem with that, but rather so that folks would know that we would be dealing with a bone stock engine setup.
If anyone has specialty timing tools or other instruments that might be helpful in diagnosing I would appreciate it.
If anyone has any questions or issues with getting here, my phone number is 609-477-8466.
The address should come right up on Google maps:
1545 Huntington Road Abington PA 19001
Regards,

Hi Mark....I won't be able to make the Club meeting this month at your house (great gesture - thanks much) but I do have a lot of experience with ZS carbs....if you'd like to tell me the symptoms, maybe I can suggest a few things to look for.
Oh....update on my MGB brake line issues (referring to our correspondence in June below) ....all is well - I got a new line from Moss (took awhile - back ordered), fitted it, bled the system - all is well. Since then, I've replaced the front disk rotors, wheel bearings and races, calipers and pads....not terribly expensive and I've got lots of time thanks to the virus.
Hope you all have good weather for the meeting.
Chip

Chip,
If it's any help to you, I have a brand new left rear brake line (with flares and fittings) that I ordered from Moss. I only needed the one for the right rear.
it's yours (for free) if you would like to come and get it in Abington Pennsylvania.

Oh, and another thought... if you want to apply heat safely, how about a soldering iron?
Jim,
I'll be there....hopefully in the MGB if I can get the tube nut free on the rear brake line fitting....I replaced the rubber brake flex line between the rear axle and steel tubing fitting but I still can't free up the nut from the tubing....going to try
more PB Blaster soak again today....can't use heat because rubber fuel line is right there! I guess last resort is to replace the fuel line....nothing like brake fluid running down your arm when it's in the 90's and humid....
