Q & A: Timing, Clunk

John,
Received your reply concerning the timing on the 79 MGB. You wre correct
on
the distributor # but you mentioned a Stromberg carb and the connection of
the vacuum line to the ported vacuum. I have converted my engine to SU
HIF
carbs. What do I do in this situation? I have a 45D distributor (new) on
the engine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

On another subject, I have a severe "clunk" in the rear end when changing
directions from forward to reverse or visa versa. I have performed the
world
famous "John Twist Rear End Clunk Procedure" but the problem persists. I
would like to bring it to you to further diagnose the problem. I would
like
to bring it there at the end of the driving season probably like every
other
customer that you have. Would this be O.K. and can you let me know if I
can
leave the vehicle at your facility for possibly a week or two until I can
collect it after the repair. Again, your reply is appreciated concerning
your busy schedule.

Item # 3... We will be attending the Grand Rapids Grand Prix in August.
Will
you be in attendance? If you are, I would like to treat you to either
lunch
or dinner at the event. Please let me know.

Sincerely,
Bill

done the latter on a set of HIFs, but it's got to be less expensive than
