On Tuesday we had the same staffing size as Monday! Only this time, I was there and Casey was recovering from the flu! Stan brought up his late model MGB (seen under with the bonnet open). The young guys continued to work on the disassembly of the TF.
During tech time, Lawrie called from California asking about the manifold induction heaters fitted 1975 through 1980. "When do they work?" he asked. I told him I throw some in the snow and check their continuity in the morning (see tomorrow post for results!).
Mark brought back the 1973 MGB all painted and striped. It is MUCH straighter and looks very much nicer now! His trailer was not empty as he collected the 1979 MGB LE to take home. It was as cold as it looks in the pictures!
Early in the day, Carl Heideman from Eclectic Motorworks came over, collected a 1974 TR6, and took it to Baker Engineering for a dyno test. The HP curve was very, very steady and it made 74.9 hp at the rear wheels at the top of it's range. We are making some dramatic changes to the power plant -- and hope to increase that figure considerably! Here, Josh Strohm, Carl's employee, assists in getting the TR6 strapped down.
We left Roger's 1979 outside for a late night collection. I was pleased that it started up, at 9pm at 20F in the dark and got him home! Another winter's day at University successfully concluded!
