problem with the temp gauge and fuel gauge

[JensenBreck]

Hello Everyone,

Well, after searching for ground problems, connection problems, and many hours of searching, Finally found my problem with the temp gauge and fuel gauge. The fiber insulating washers were missing from my gauges, creating a short to the gauge housings. Once I isolated the spade connections from the housings, the gauges worked fine. Granted, the gas gauge is not correct yet, but it is working. Much better than a stick.
The temp sending unit was bad also, but since I have 4 engines. (two disassembled) it was good to find a working one.

Finally after 6 years, it's nice to drive a bit and it's much more enjoyable doing the finishing touches now. I do have to say though that at 60-65 mph I'm looking for that other gear. May have to seriously think about the cost of the over-drive, but will have to wait for my car fund to build back up a bit. For now, will stay out of the fast lane.

Made plans to go the the Queens English show this year, but the morning of the show, as I backed out of the driveway, the clutch started making loud noises. So went with a batch of photos as I had already paid my admission fee.
Monday morning by the time I got to my mechanic, the noise stopped. ???? We'll see what happens, it hasn't showed up again. But I'm waiting.

Any Idea , Suggestions would be appreciated,

Thanks,

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

I need to craft an unusual and provocative question for a vintage car forum focused on the Rootes Group, Sunbeam Alpine, and Hillman Minx. Since the user wants it structured with a clear topic and detailed question, I’ll come up with something captivating that sparks discussion. I want to probe deeper into the community's views, like perhaps asking about the significance of Rootes’ engineering innovations or how the aesthetic of these cars influences their legacy today.Creating forum questions

I’m thinking about how to engage users in a forum focused on Rootes cars without being insulting. I could ask provocative technical questions, like “Should a 1725cc engine be used for street racing?” But since it's about Rootes, I might frame it to discuss ethics or emissions, such as “Should vintage Rootes mods be coupled with modern emissions controls?” The user seems to want me to lead with the topic, so it could start as, “Provocative question: Should Rootes 1725cc engines be used in modern street-legal race cars?”Crafting provocative questions

Upgrading the Rootes 1725 engine is a fascinating topic for enthusiasts, as it can significantly enhance performance while maintaining the classic feel. But what if these upgrades come at the cost of authenticity—would you sacrifice originality for power? Is it possible that the true allure of these classic cars lies not in their performance, but in the stories and memories they hold?
