    Dave, I looked back through some older pics of the unit. See attached. Is this the thermostat adjustment?

    SPF GT40 A/C Refrigerant Capacity?

    Thanks, Dave. No leaks - can pull a vacuum to ~30 inches and close it off for the night. Next morning, still tight. I'll check the other two things you suggested Friday and report back. Appreciate the help!

    SPF GT40 A/C Refrigerant Capacity?

    Rick, I have installed your A/C seal kit. Charged the system with 32 ounces, but not getting the kind of vent temps I expect. Pressure readings are good - ~25 psi low side, ~175 psi high side. I would expect something in the 40 or 50 degree F range on air temp coming out of the vents, but still...

    SPF GT Switch and Control Positions

    All, Between this original post and now, SPF has changed the control switches a bit. Is the toggle switch circled in the attached photo the "demister" switch? If not, can you help me identify it, please? Thanks. Tim

    Electric Question

    Don, I have these on two of my cars - on the negative post. They are very convenient and save the clock draining the battery. Just a half turn will disconnect the circuit. Amazon.com: Top Post Battery Master Disconnect Switch: Automotive

    door latches

    I've had a similar issue, but haven't spent much time looking into it. When I close the door, sometimes it doesn't latch completely. I can push it from inside and make sure it's closed. When I push on it and discover it isn't closed, I can pull the unlatch cable and hear the latch "click" - then...

    Carburetor Corrosion

    Lucky, indeed. To think that this happens - even in cars that are driven every day - upsets me. I wish we'd stop promoting Ethanol as a great thing. Now, I'm running around putting additives in every gasoline engine and fuel can I own!

    Carburetor Corrosion

    BenL, Yes, that's it. I haven't tried it, but the story behind it and NASCAR facing the same fuel system problems when they switched to Ethanol blends encouraged me to try it. Neville, Sounds very promising. I may try that after I try the Carb Defender. Thank you for posting. Tim

    Carburetor Corrosion

    Any carb experts want to analyze what I found in my Holley 4150? It was running really rough off idle, around 1500-2500, with some surging if you tried to hold steady speed in 2nd or 3rd gear. This is the vacuum secondary side. This stuff looked like battery corrosion - very flaky, crusty. I...

    Custom Vehicle Registration in TX - Warning

    I learned a tough lesson recently. TX Custom Vehicle registration expired 12/31/2017, while the GT40 was down for some work. In March, I took my insurance paperwork to the county annex and asked to renew the registration. Sorry - no longer in the system! 30 days after the Custom Vehicle...

    Brake Light Switch

    Hi, Mitch. Many people use a brake pressure switch, which closes when it senses pressure increase in the line. They been around for a long time. Example: Speedway Brake Line Port Pressure Switch, 1/8 NPT
