The car has been running a little rough recently, but a week ago I found a stripped inlet manifold nut with the other nuts a little loose (not ideal at all). I am not sure it the car was sucking in air (it’s likely), but with this fault fixed (new stud) the car is running quite well now. I also blew compressed air through the carb to clear out any muck and emptied the float bowl (I caught what came out in a clean jug - this showed signs of dirt). I also cleaned and checked the plugs

I enjoyed an eighty mile trip at the weekend!

I have always felt a good indicator of how a car is running is the colour of the spark plugs and how much fuel it uses (the plugs came out clean with just a hint of soot round the very outer edges)

I just wondered how much fuel those of you with similar engined cars, would expect to use on such a trip please (about 80 road miles)

I have a bit of vibration at 45MPH and have been told the offside front wheel looks to shake at 45 MPH

Can anyone advise on balancing these wheels please - the Tyres are Dunlop Silvercord 35 / 5's

I am in the UK, so its either advice on how to balance these wheels myself or advice on anyone who might be able to help me over here

I am wondering if a modern tyre balancer machine might be able to help ]]> Stutz Stutz in the UK http://forums.aaca.org/f132/1917-stutz-wheels-350678.html http://forums.aaca.org/f132/stutz-blackhawk-4-seat-boattail-body-350568.html Mon, 06 May 2013 05:24:44 GMT Looking for a 1927/29 Stutz / Blackhawk 4 seat Boattail body or patterns.
