  1. Than You Guys....diagram is most helpful The engine is in my XKE or E Type as we call them. Stromberg carbs which whereby the mixture is set by turning a special tool down the inside of the dashpot.
  2. Yes I can understand I do seem like a total numpty. I'm not good with twiddly bits but I can make things shine and sparkle...... you wouldn't believe I stripped and rebuilt this V12:D
  3. Thank You Guys Its a bit more basic stuff that I need. Like were the mixture screw is located:classic:
  4. Hi Got my 240 today and it seems to be idling high and very rich and smelly How do I adjust the idle and will this in turn adjust the mixture?? Or how do I adjust both idle and lean off the mixture? You help would be greatly appreciated. Will post up pics soon...car now registered here in the UK having spent its 41yrs in CA.

    Anyone else had clearance issues on the front when turning? Wheels are 9x15 with zg arches but the tyre fouls on the front edge of the wing and lower 1/4 valance. Any solution which possibly involves cutting metal? but interested to see any thoughts. tyres are 235/50 Toyo 888

    How easy/difficult is it to remove a front fender? Any hidden bolts??
  8. I'm no expert but if you choose not to cut the original metal the car will sit very high??? It will also give a massive gap between tyre and arch.

    Many thanks for you help. Would explain why the car has black/gold plates on then, I prefer the look so will keep it that way I think.

    I'm from the UK but my car came from California. I want to put authentic Californian plates on it but not sure what is correct. It's a 1970 car...should they be black plates and if so what colour digits?? Should the word California be embossed/pressed or just a sticker Many Thanks

    Anyone running 10x15 rears and 9s front?? Need pics if there are any and tyre size choices if poss. I realise that should anyone have these fitted they'll be in conjuction with ZG arches..

    Tyres look like 245 CR500's
  14. Vipergts replied to Vipergts's post in a topic in Wheels & Brakes
    OK Thanks This has what has been recommended so that they fit under the ZG arches. Anyone with any experience that can advise the correct size? Many Thanks
