My 1961 Mk IX Jaguar had the six replaced with a 400" Buick Nailhead, but still had had dual Lucas pumps that required regular point filing and adjustment. I especially appreciated how easy Lucas made their equipment to work on, but disliked how often I had to. I also learned how to trick the Lucas pump on the fly when it suddenly quit. I would just switch back and forth between tanks several times rapidly and it would usually stir the Lucas back to life. I also learned to switch tanks early, so as to hold a 1/4 tank reserve just in case.

The only thing fussier was the four wheel disc brakes that extremely advanced for the era but the brake cylinders would corrode and when there was enough pad wear for the piston to reach the corrosion, it would fail. The fix was machining the caliper and pressing in a bronze or stainless cylinder liner that didn't corrode.



I never found a nice Wraith around here in any kind of shape that this poor boy could afford either, but have always admired them. I also put dual Webber's on an dual port Ghia convertible, along with some other enhancements and love the carburetors performance through the full range, though I had to learn to operate the throttle with my toe and brake with my heel to keep it idling at rest, if I didn't keep them synced.
Friend had a GT6 Triumph that would die unexpectedly, both driver and passenger would start opening and slamming door shut a couple times, and it would then be able to re-start.

British wiring left a lot to be desired.

Strange too. Some places they switched hot and in some places ground.
 
Morning OFC. I never owned a British car. Always heard they had several issues. I was always into American Muscle cars.

Gonna be a hot one here today. Never cooled off last night. I will spend the day hiding from the heat.

More and more murders and shootings happening daily. When is this gonna stop or at least slow down. Seems like the media is hiding it from the general public. Only seems to be a couple of national news outlets reporting this mess.....just like the US Mexican border.

At what age do older women loose their sex drive anyway
Just wondering what to expect
I hope you are sincere. This is a very valid question. I had a strong libido all my life. At some point after menopause and nine years by my husband's side fighting his cancer (in fight or flight mode), I lost it. One day about two years after he passed, I suddenly had an electrical feeling which was a sexual reawakening. I know some women who lost it for various reasons and never got it back. For me it is an intregal and essential part of being a woman.
