LOL! Thanks for the kind ribbing. Then again, at my age one takes the opportunity to talk. It reminds us we're still alive. :-o Sorry about the 'no guns' thing. I grew up in northern Kentucky and killed every can at the dump! Just happen to have drifted away from that hobby. I think ham radio replaced it as I got older... best regards and thanks for the kind welcome, rick disappear. years. to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/midgetsprite/ to: midgetsprite-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com "Rick Lindsay" 33656...

Please forgive a Newbie's ignorance... I just joined this group as I just purchased a 1968 MG Midget. I'm now fumbling around trying to locate a few items I will be needing for the car. Here are two questions for you. 1) Where in the devil can I find 145SR13 tires and tubes?! Special Order, some place like Coker Tire. Check the classic tire dealers a t swap meets 2) Where can I find a decent hood and tonneau at a reasonable price? eBay!! I found a 67 tonneau and a white top for our 68 on eBay. 3)... MORE
Spridget people, Please forgive a Newbie's ignorance... I just joined this group as I just purchased a 1968 MG Midget.

Here are two questions for you. 1) Where in the devil can I find 145SR13 tires and tubes?! 2) Where can I find a decent hood and tonneau at a reasonable price? 3) Where can I find a complete parts listing for the Midget? 4) Which shop manual is best and where do I buy one? Many thanks in advance.... Cheers!! Jim... MORE
Ah....I percieve, Jens! What they've provided is basically their road "performance" curve contained in their "Y" (yellow) commercially available dizzies. The chart they included is the actual advance curve contained within the distributor. This would be in "distributor degrees" Jens, at "distributor rpm". Double the figures in each case for engine rpm and advance available at the crank. Then add in the initial static timing recommendation (4-6 degrees) to the foregoing figures and you'll know how many degrees you are getting at the crank at any rpm, per their "static" timing recommendation. Now, the above is for academic interest... MORE
Big American Car... Not too big actually. I am having trouble making up my mind on whether I sould buy a 1973 Corvette convertible I went and looked at yesterday. He is asking $14,500 but is negotiable. The car has a new crate 350 with 50 miles on it. Otherwise, it is a decnt 20 footer, with no big problems, but numerous small wear items, some small scratches and such. The tires are 10 year old Uniroyal, with great tread, but some weather cracking. If I buy it, I will have to replace them. One owner car with 107,000... MORE
Bob, I would modify this just a bit...deport the UN in it's entirety......to France, Russia and/or Germany. Either one of them (or all) deserve it a lot more than we do. We haven't the brains or the national cajones today, to take care ourselves a la "Charity Begins At Home". We truly have been "dumbed down" the last 40 years or so and far worse, we've become "feminized" (overly sensitive and "enabling") to those who are too uneducated to "appreciate". And so, we've become the International whipping boy. We obviously no longer know how to fight and win a... MORE
starting now. We are tired of the one-way highway. It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them be saying, "darn tootin." Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America. To the nations on List 1, a... MORE

Thanks for all the comments. Everyone was pretty musch right - it's the oil filter sensor wire and dash warning light. We had replaced thar damend old oil filter housing with a new spin-on and lost the reference. No sooner had I posted this message and ran back to the garage, my Dad figured it out. I'll be asking you guys soon for ideas on transporting the ol' A-H from El Paso to Dallas TX. We're just staring tomake plans, and so far folks like Uhaul haven't been very helpful (the A-H is too narrow for their auto transport).... MORE
Folks, my Dad and I are trying to trace a lone yellow/brown(YN)wire. It's remained disconnected during the restore and has not affected any other electrical system (positive ground)or function. To be clear, this is not the brown/yellow (NY) wire to the alternator. We can't seem to find reference to the YN wire in the shop manual and have no reason to believe this is nothing but stock. Does anyone know where this goes? Also, we're trying to figure out the large, red-jeweled light (which is not the ignition light on the tach) located square in the upper middle of... MORE
For all you furiners (not Texicans), this should make you wish you were here.... A TEXAS BLESSING Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry. Please keep it cool in mid-July.

Bless the garage, a home to please carpenter beetles, ticks and fleas. Bless the love bugs, two by two, the gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you. Millions of creatures that fly or crawl, in Texas, Lord, you've put them all!! But this is... MORE
