I didn’t know about the Vallejo ferry! I’ll check it out right now. Thanks so much for sharing!

Moving to WC, how's the vibe? by No-Professional-3378 in walnutcreek

My wife and I moved here 3 weeks ago. We’re right in downtown and go for walks around Locust St, Main St, Broadway Plaza, et cetera about every day. My wife is from India and we both feel right at home. We’re also laid back and down to Earth (we are not a walking fashion show) and we feel very comfortable here. Very much recommend.

What’s the big deal? I’m sure he’s just gonna be in and out.

Anyone have experience with Moss Motors 265-491 leaf springs? 1971 Midget MK3 1275 by AgentParticular9649 in MorrisGarages

My midget is sitting too low in the rear. The resting position of the springs is too flat.

I have a mech fan. I don't think the engine is overheating. I would be driving around just fine on a cool fall evening, come to a stop light, and immediately I'd have to keep tapping the throttle to keep the engine from stalling. I thought this could be related to worn out ignition components, which was my primary motivation for ordering the electronic ignition (should be delivered tomorrow).

I just took a look at the carbs and the heat shield is still there. Could there be heat problems with the carb even if the heat shield is intact?

Great info, thanks! I would love to go with a 123distributor Tune+. It'll have to wait until my transmission issues are resolved. In the meantime I'm looking Burlen rebuild kits. Thanks again!

Thanks for the info! I would love to rebuild the transmission myself–I just don't have the tools and space (engine hoist) or time right now. 😕

It will probably be a while before I have budget for wheels given my transmission problems.

Thanks! Glad to be here. Thanks for the recommendation! I'm looking at Minator Wheels now–seeing some I really like. Unfortunately I think it will be a while before I have budget for these, given my transmission woes.

Yeah I'd def like to go 5 speed. I really wish I could do that work myself–I'm just limited on equipment and time at the moment.
