    DGV Settings

    Thanks so far for the comments! @nsbluenose, I just checked and my Weber is Primary - 55 and Secondary - 50. So based on @pruyter's comment about the intake, I am running a SIV intake manifold, which might need bigger jets, based on lost efficiency, so I am curious as to what manifold you are...

    Thinking of selling....

    Thanks @junkman, good point about being a soft market for Alpines at the moment. I would imagine, Spring would help with better sales as well. I have been leaning towards just doing the interior and roof and enjoy for another year... Maybe that's whats in the cards... I was just looking to...

    @junkman here are some pics from about a year ago, with the top up.... I do have a brand new seal for the top where it meets the windshield as well. Thanks.

    Thinking of selling....

    Hey Everyone... So I have come to a cross roads with Sunny.... my SV Alpine. It is a 1966. I bought for a couple of reasons, 1) pandemic project, 2) Get this cool little car on the road again (had sat since the '70's). So it needed a lot of love. Below is a list of the major items I can recall...

    TDC Question

    Hey everyone, So I am confused as to where my indicator is showing TDC to be in reference to the markings on the crankshaft pulley. According to the Rootes workshop manual I have, the largest and first marking is TDC (see photo attached). However, I got the car running fairly well but was...

    Getting Fuel Compression Adaptor Fitting Back on Fuel Line

    Hey all, so yeah, not sure what I was thinking trying to reuse a "compression fitting", in hind sight, it is quiet stupid. Nevertheless, I got the right size NEW compression sleeve, a 5/16" sleeve, and all went perfectly from there... Thanks to everyone and apologies for the bonehead...

    Getting Fuel Compression Adaptor Fitting Back on Fuel Line

    Hey @Bill Blue, it very well could be (as I am the 3rd owner), but it looked untouched (which really means nothing). I have found little funky things here and there as I work on this SV.

    Getting Fuel Compression Adaptor Fitting Back on Fuel Line

    Hey @Bill Blue, sorry I was a little more clear. That is the black nylon fuel line going to the fuel pump. I need to get the compression fitting on before I can attach it with the nut. However the tolerances are so tight I can't figure a safe way of getting that compression attachment on without...

    Getting Fuel Compression Adaptor Fitting Back on Fuel Line

    How does one get the compression adaptor (fitting) back on the fuel line? It is such a tight tolerance, I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to "slip" it back on (see picture)?? TIA
