Tom didn't mention anything about inspecting the bore for corrosion/pitting, especially on the bottom. For year I had a person in Quincy, CA. resleeve them for ...   01-01-2020 05:43 pm

The wiring diagrams from John Kimball are for the '73/early'74, and not for the later cars, as noomg has found out. Just last month, I ...   12-19-2019 01:55 am

It's up under the dash, mounted between the FUEL & TEMP gauges, with a #2 cross-point(pozdriv) sheet metal screw. This is the metal backing "plate" ...   11-25-2019 10:08 pm

Some of you may have already done so, but replacing our antiquated bimetallic voltage stabilizer with a solid state electronic one is inexpensive and worth ...   11-25-2019 09:29 pm

Okay, fellow "Jensenites"; J.D. Damon (J.D.s British Cars, Nashville) was kind enough to send me an MGB ignition lock for testing, and the results are ...   11-24-2019 12:37 am

Once you get the engine running with Pertronix, use the timing light to determine if you need to advance or retard it. You may have ...   11-22-2019 04:59 pm

That MAY be for the European cars where they needed a dimmer relay for the tail lights, as they felt they were too bright for ...   11-04-2019 03:53 pm

you're correct; it does need to be isolated from the ground. If you need another one, I have plenty bruce ...   11-03-2019 04:32 pm

You're correct; '75 & later cars had all the "pollution" stuff on it, air pump, injectors, cast iron header, blah, blah, blah. Since this was an ...   10-24-2019 11:13 pm

Not sure if you're talking about the wiring diagram, your old harness, or the new one you just got? "WHITE" means it goes after the ignition ...   10-20-2019 05:29 pm

just short #11 & #12 and as you said, you'e "good to go" ...   10-19-2019 10:55 pm

wow--only the "bonnet's rear edge high"!! one of the easiest fixes(we did that on Jim & Marsha Benya's green J-H in St. Louis.) FIX: the front ...   10-15-2019 11:15 pm

Glad to see you're PORing the floors; get a can of the spray mix that has the flexible "hose" with the nozzle on the end ...   10-09-2019 05:42 pm

without actually cutting one open, the connectors coming out of the hose are 1/2' while the short fittings to the sandwich are 9/16". hope this ...   10-03-2019 09:32 pm

most of the "extra" items placed on carbs, especially later ones, were for pollution control. If you're that interested in these "extra" pieces, I suggest ...   10-02-2019 01:53 pm

The "cylindrical device" on the rear carb is the vacuum actuator for the by-pass valves, one located on the right side of each carb. This ...   10-01-2019 11:10 pm

Tim: I would like to try the later LOTUS impellers on some water pumps, but I have absolutely none(have plenty of the original ones though). ...   10-01-2019 08:38 pm

The J-Hs had the choke only on the front carb, with a 3/16" fuel hose(**NOT A VACUUM HOSE AS I HAVE SEEN**) going from the ...   10-01-2019 08:32 pm

sorry, but I measured them and they are "EXACT" in the sense they look "EXACTLY" like the originals. If one were to put micrometers to it, ...   09-27-2019 04:06 pm

I think this was answered, but the fuses are NOT the same # as printed on the original LUCAS fuses. 35 amp Lucas would be ...   09-25-2019 05:17 pm

Tim: thanks for the fast reply; for a while in the mid '90s, all the impeller shafts were short, so I tack welded the impeller to ...   09-25-2019 02:44 pm

Tim: with the advent of the 3G seal that Dave Bean has, the nose of all the impellers can be ground down/hacksawed with impunity, as ...   09-24-2019 03:38 pm

TIM: once again, thanks for taking the time to post the pix: I always wondered why they didn't run the pick-up tube oil ...   09-24-2019 03:30 pm

Actually it does work: the WR wire goes through the "LOGIC" box to see you have all the necessary items hooked up, such as your ...   09-24-2019 03:21 pm

I've posted this recently somewhere here before, but after talking to many at the St. Louis JENSEN national, it's worth reposting(btw, they are NOT unique ...   09-24-2019 03:12 pm

thanks for finally getting back; that item is really needed and I have contacted both Robey & Rejens(but not Booth, who was at the 2000 ...   09-20-2019 05:42 pm

Subwoofer; can you please tell us where you got the "separate" upper steering knuckle and lower matching splined shaft? I saw one years ago(think it ...   08-20-2019 08:07 pm

Assuming that's the correct years(and I would need to check again) you will still need to "open" it up to change the rotating collar as ...   08-19-2019 02:57 pm

just read: the lighter(a common item that gets shorted) is fused by the 3rd/bottom fuse, and should NOT have melted the main harness. A common problem ...   08-19-2019 02:41 pm

Sounds like the cars idles okay, but upon driving you are using the differential and transmission. I would check the fluid and fluid level in ...   07-31-2019 01:13 am
