| 2009-07-20 | Ben | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Many thanks. I did cut out the lumenition and resort to points. I now have a purring powerful Vitesse again! The lumenition was frying the coils. Tried ballasted as well. |

| 2009-07-17 | Orloff | 10 | 8 | 9 | 10 | No | Scott Thank you for your response. |
| 2009-06-25 | Ben | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much. I hadn't thought about getting an earlier manifold. What a great idea. |
| 2009-06-16 | Dave | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-06-11 | Frank | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-06-11 | Barry | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks |
| 2009-06-11 | Scott B. Marsh | 8 | 9 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much for you help |
| 2009-06-04 | Jim | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks. Sounds like a good idea. Bore looked good in master cylinder. I will reinspect tomorrow. Really appreciate the help. |
| 2009-06-03 | barry | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thanks lots of things to try before it becomes a major engine overhaul!! |
| 2009-05-20 | Jim | 10 | 6 | 10 | 10 | No | I didn't understand some of the answer. Think Scott is too smart-but thats a good thing. |
| 2009-04-20 | doug mabee | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | what a great answer i never would have thought of that, i will give it a go this makes sense |
| 2009-04-17 | Carl | 10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | No | Scott Thank you. I figured it out thru trial & error. I actually primed it with 30 weight motor oil. very messy, but effective. I also learned that the relief valve must be on the engine and tightened for the pump to pressurize. Silly me. |
| 2009-04-16 | Bob | 9 | 9 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for the info. |
| 2009-04-07 | mark | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-03-29 | Tom | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | No | Thanks. If it's as easy as ensuring that I have the right kind of carburetor, then I'm in. I never had to tinker much with my 77 Spitfire so I'm not as knowledgeable under the hood. |
| 2009-03-29 | Daniel | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-03-29 | Garrett | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Great, I was hoping it would be something simple. Thanks for your help |
| 2009-03-15 | Mark | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | excellent (good sense) guidance. . .there was flow through the radiator but the coolant level was low. . .I now have to track down whether I have a hose, radiator, or water pump leak. . it is running smoothly now. . thanks |
| 2009-02-28 | tom | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thanks for the info |
| 2009-02-28 | Garry | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks. There is a rebuilt tranny in my future. I will revisit the issue then. |

| 2009-02-11 | Craig | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | The oil filter was converted to a spin on version. I will test the pressure at idle, 3000 rpm and clean the valve. Thank you for your advice! |
| 2009-02-11 | Craig | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you! |
