You can get something similar at your local GM dealer: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/flat_tappet_cam_tech/photo_05. html I don't know price, ppm. YMMV, etc. -=Chris Chris King http://home.comcast.net/~kvcbk/ -Original Message- From: David Woerpel [EMAIL

Re: [Spits] Spitfire Header

James, I bought a header from Ted for my 75 Spitfire 1500 when I converted to dual SU's. The other stainless steel headers Considering Rimmer Bros. was about $300 (plus shipping) and Spitbits was $400 (plus all that other stuff) I went with Ted. When I installed them, I was told I should have

Re: [Spits] Spitfire Header

I bought the European spec Tri-Y exhaust header from John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics. It was OEM to the European Spits and works/fits very nicely, plus it is cast iron and I'm told not nearly as prone to cracking as the stock US exhaust manifold. Warning: This will NOT work with the single

Re: [Spits] Spitfire Header

I second the one from Ted. I bought one for my 1500 Midget, and it works well and fit well. The one I got was routed specifically for the Midget, and had a Maniflow tag on it when I got it. Quality parts, though the one I bought was mild steel. I agree, I probably should have sprung for the

Re: [Spits] Spitfire Header

I agree. I sprung for a Bell stainless steel 4-2-1 header from Rimmer Brothers that I sent on to get ceramic coated, inside and out. I've been very pleased, especially here in Savannah, Ga. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris King

[Spits] Tinting glass update

Well as one lister suggested using glass paint made for stained glass applications, I went down to my local Michael's and sure enough, they had it. Made by Krylon specifically for glass. It wasn't quite as orange as I would have liked, but it is certainly better than what I had. Took about four

[Spits] fan clutch

I bought a new water pump for my Spitfire. It's a mongrel but I went with the 1977 large upright radiator and the clutch type fan. Before I mounted the clutch on the new water pump, I heated it up with a hair dryer to see how much the resistance changed. When it was too hot to handle bare

Re: [Spits] fan clutch

Larry, I think you are talking about the Viscous coupler, which is not a clutch at all and as I understand the thing it does not react to temperature at all. Instead it is designed to limit the fan speed at higher rpm to reduce noise and limit the pull don on the engine as it virtually free

Thanks Bill. I now have for sale a nice European spec intake/exhaust setup for the late 1300 and 1500 Spitfires. http://ljvaughan.homestead.com/Europeanintakeaxhaust.html Larry Rarebits wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Holmgren I bought the European spec Tri-Y exhaust header from
