Very nice Darren. Those small details make a big impact.As for the lever ends ,if you ever need new ones you can cold cast them in black resin and drill a hole to Epoxy them on the lever .I made a number of these for my C4 with great results. Mike

Hi John also make sure you are getting the full Monty from the return springs.They do wear out over time. Best regards, Mike

I have one on my C4. Has worked well for years. Mike

Hi Tom, welcome to the fold . Great bunch of guys here with mountains of experience. No question will go unanswered.Good luck, Mike

Had my C4 mags redone 3 yrs ago and sitll OK. My understanding is that zinc chromate primer is a must. Mike

Hi Jim you seem to know quite a bit about the fine tuning of these cars. To further pick your brain;if one dials in 5 more degrees advance at idle is there a danger of to much spark lead when full advance comes on at higher revs.Great discussion BTW. Best regards,Mike

Hi Steve , one more thought. Are you sure all you ignition wires are up to snuff.Very strange things can happen if even one of them is not perfect ie: spark leaks,crossfire, intermittant firing ,etc. I make new sets out of Packard 440 solid core. Regards, Mike

Hi Steve, I know you have been fussing with this for some time so forgive if I am repeating previous thoughts.Are you sure about vacuum leaks.Give a spray all around with carb cleaner and note any idle change. Spark timing on both banks? Valves set? Check the resistors on the coils . I found loose c...

The first two sentences of your post could be taken in more than one way. I am so glad you mentioned your car at the end. Mike

I have used World Upholstery and am pleased.They will happily send samples.I sent my old carpets and had them match them while adding a little extra material at the borders for trimming.Tom Y, among others on this site, has seen my interior and can comment to give you more insight if they would like...

They are fine thread as well.

If you google "Torque specs according to bolt size" you will various tables with the info you need. Mike

Hi Sam, glad to hear that you are on the mend. Are you sure that the smoke you mentioned re; the Corvair was from the car and not the romancing you alluded to? All the best ,Mike

Hi Tom, you wondered about safely removing the trunk seal glue. I wonder if one of those wheels used to remove graphics from car bodies would work? They are advertised as being paint safe. Mike

Hi Yale ,glad to hear that you are all OK.You are probably the only person I know who would have a bunson burner ready and waiting.All the best ,Mike
