John Macartney wrote about the late model Spit that returned to England and was an utter disappointment to ride in and drive due to it's poor performance.
When I first got my car, it too was fairly sluggish in that department. By removing the emissions stuff (air pump, cat, manifold, etc.) and adding a header and Weber DGV carb, I realized a noticeable improvement. It still wasn't going to win any drag races, but it certainly was more fun to drive. But John also talks about this car being a CA car. Judging only by the plumbing diagrams in my Bentley manual, I wouldn't be at all surprised by the car being so slow - the plumbing on the CA cars looks to be a veritable nightmare, and can't possibly be contributing to *improved* performance! As John mentioned, to be a decent driver, the car simply needs work. No question in my mind about that. -- George P. NASS #290 '78 Spit 1500 Ruther Glen, VA Your messages not reaching the list?
