It Runs!

 With some help from Clay we determined there was indeed spark, perhaps helped by resetting the points again and filing them clean.  Cleaned up spark plugs.  Freed up dampers in carbs and added oil.  Sprayed ether into carbs.  Little blip of the throttle (by hand, throttle cable rusted solid) and the sucker took right off:



Idles very well, no major coolant leaks.  After several minutes it got pretty hot, we suspect the thermostat is stuck.  New thermostat and throttle cable, then we'll run it some more.  


Compression, as expected, is getting better - now 120/120/110/90.  We also adjusted the valve clearances to 0.018 cold.

Interior Gutted, No More Mouse Urine Smell!

Image
 We have removed the two seats and six pieces of cockpit trim.  These will be taken to Too Tall Tim in OH by the car's owner, where Too Tall will rebuild the seats and recover the cockpit trim in the red color selected by the owner.  Here's the removed parts ready to go (yes there is a second seat behind the first one): We had a heck of a time getting the seats out, lots of rusty bolts. We then removed the black carpet which had been holding the awful smell.  Carpet tacks had been used to hold it down, which we removed. We were able to take the ignition switch to a local key shop, they used the code on the switch to look up the key pattern and make us a key.  We hope it's not indicative of a demonic car, the code was FP 666. We also installed a battery cutoff switch, a Miata battery, and lines for a trickle charger, like we do on all MGA's.  For some reason this car's body had more room between the body and the frame for installation of the switch. Then tri...

It ran when parked

 Ray and I have started another project.  This is a 1959 MGA 1500, which has not run since 1984, when it suffered slight front body damage.  Here's some pics as rcd: We got the car to the shop and washed it off first thing.  Sure was dirty! Then spent about an hour cleaning the mouse nest stuff out of the inside.  The smell of urine was pretty strong. Today we did an assessment of what parts we need to get the mechanicals in good order.  Brake and clutch hydraulic components, brake lines, cooling hoses, and a few flexible lines at the engine are all now on order.  Engine turns pretty free, removed spark plugs and sprayed PB Blaster to soak and remove any rust on cylinder walls.  Drained gas tank, very smelly gas.  Front end's slight damage includes pushing the bumper up to that the hand crank won't align with the front of the engine.  All repairable stuff.  Should be fun!

Red Top!

Image
Installed the special order red top this week.  Looks great!  Even has zip out window! Installed second voltage regulator we ordered from another source.  Ignition light now acts as it should, and voltage shows battery is charging.  Will have to return first new regulator. Drove car on old tires.  Lots of shimmy going on.  Should have new tires on better rims in a day or so, will check again then. The list is getting shorter!
