    New Mini Starter

    Yes, so I just put in a NEW Ultima starter on the Newport (70). It cranked awesome the first two try’s, third sounded like pinion didn’t engage all the way & every try since then is just starter spinning. Suggestions?

    Dragging brakes

    Disc Brake Master Cylinder On 70 Newport

    So I have to get a new one; no experience with brakes. Is it just a matter of unbolting, unscrewing lines & reversing the process? And where are the bleeding valves on the wheel? Thank you for any advice.

    Understanding Vacuum Advance

    Hi guys. When I bought the Newport years ago it had already had a stroked RB put in. And a little while later I’d noticed that was driving it with the distributor dash pot unplugged. Previous owner had jammed a bit into a vacuum line going to ported side of Edel. carb. Car has always been a...

    Airport Car

    I’m a little surprised that no one brought up the new Roadkill episode. But then, I remember the disdain some had for Freiberger & shows like that. Yet they put it on the road & had some fun; car is pretty beat.
