I bought some of the coil paint from Parker and initially had some issues with it spraying -- nothing would come out, but I soaked the spray button in thinner and then turned the can over and sprayed until it cleared out and it was fine after that. So I think even some of the cans that have been sit...

Tom, You've been through so much with that car and it has really changed your life, the only question you have to answer for yourself is whether down the line you would regret it. I had a Datsun 510 in high school/college that I did everything you could possibly do to it -- very heavily but sensibly...

Art, You may already know this, but in NJ there are two special plate types -- Classic and Historic. Neither requires smog tests, but Classic does require a mileage check at the station every year (or 2 years). For Historic registration, there are no inspections or mileage checks ever. Historic is s...

Sorry for the late reply -- we have been out of the house for home renovations so I haven't been able to keep current. Thanks for the feedback. Yale -- you went that route for the same reason I am attracted to it -- no points should be less of a headache and more precise -- but it's hard to know how...

I wonder if this situation will improve with Ferrari getting into the classic parts game. This is a good question Art. It seems like there have been a lot of individual discussions with Ferrari Classiche department, but not much information about what they will provide beyond car certification. The...

Can someone provide the pros and cons of Pertronix vs MSD triggered by points? I don't know much about it, but it seems like eliminating points would be desirable both for reliability and for precision triggering -- or is MSD triggered by points just as good. I currently have stock ignition and no i...

What not to wear ... on carpet
I was looking for a set of mats to place over the original carpet and stumbled on these clear LLoyd mats for a 330 GT on eBay: http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l172/peterp_bucket/lloyd-small.jpg I know it's a bit grandmotheresque, but it seemed like a good solution so I ordered them. The good news ...

P21S makes a metal polishing "soap" that might make it easier to polish wire wheels. The polish is a cake of soap and it comes with sponge that has a very light scrubbing surface. It's applied simply by rubbing the sponge over the surface and then rinses off with no buffing required. For areas you c...
