this is probably less than no use, but i had a 1988 mitzi v3000. the thing was sooo damn fast. v6 cyclone engine or some shit. crumpled like a wet paper bag when it was side swiped tho....

my mates company, over in the uk, but give him a message, its what he does http://www.uk-rallysport.co.uk/

Sounds like valve stem seals to me... Had the same thing in an old mitzi of mine Also had another Mitzi with buggered rings, and that smoked all the time, so the symptoms don't sound like that

so, i have just bought a 32/36 dgav carb, to bolt onto my car, i found a very useful website (3tcgarage.com) where i was able to get the information on the correct jets for the engine. however, the carb i bought turns out to be a double pumper, (which is a good thing as far as i know, as it stops it leaning out when you stomp on the gas). but the jets and emulsion tubes and stuff are all different from the ordinary dgav. is there a mathematic/scientific way of workiung out what the jets on the double pumper should be, if i have the info for a single pump?, or is it trial and error? yes, you would think that it would be just as easy to ask this in the 3tcgarage forum, and you'd be right, except i cant sign up as a member for some reason

i went to a place right underneath the frankton flyover, on high street. (commerce st. side of the flyover) $60 a panel, left in primer. then go to linkup paints and get a colour match in a spraycan for $30 job done

checked all vacuum lines, having taken the distributor cap off, followed by the rotor arm, then a rusty tin shield, there is a 'square' shaped shaft , which opens and closes the points. the gap is adjustable via a little screw-like knob on the outside of the dizzy, just wondering the correct distance. i replaced the dizzy cap, rotor arm, points and condenser and ht leads recently.

so, im pretty sure the timing is off on my car, the acceleration is quite, "unsmooth(?)" i dont seem to be able to find the points gap anywhere. my timing itself is supposed to be 3 or 4 btdc, but that is all i know spark plug gap? i have fited new distributor cap, rotor arm, points, condenser and ht leads recently, but it still is not much better, im sure it just needs a good tune i have a 1983 toyota corona. 3t-eu engine 1.8l(1770cc) i have been looking for a while, but i cant find anything. *since looking further, i have a TT141* anyone in hamilton willing to help out with the practical side of things could earn themselves a few beers too thanks in advance
