Just replaced the sealed beams with Hella Halogens with the H2 bulbs and did a valve adjustment on my vintage. The headlight conversion is well worth it-low beans brighter with a wider field of vision, high beams brighter with more distance. On the valve adj- three were off by only .001 but the car idles smoother and quieter. I last adjusted the valves 2500 miles ago-engine built to 1915 cc last winter. I replaced the tires last week with Veredsteins-the originals were eight years old. The most wear was on the insides of the rears-is this normal with swing axles? I've been running 22-24lbs air.
Tires had 8000 miles but never rotated. Car is almost ready for our third year at Carlisle. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
