Scott,

Yes, indeed, I take my car to Mike Gassman's shop in Waynesboro. The people there do wonderful work and are always extremely helpful and accommodating. I wouldn't own a British sports car if Gassman's were not close by. They have "saved" me a number of times.

Mike Gassman is a walking encyclopedia of car knowledge.

Nice clean under-dash wiring setup..No heater sure makes it easier...
Although this was mentioned by Randall in an earlier string...If you havent done so (I can't tell from the photo)run a seperate ground from the fuel gauge case. 90% of fuel gauge problems stem from improper ground, either at the gauge or at the tank. The factory ASSUMED that the gauge clamp would be sufficient...it wasn't!! An early service bulletin stated: "If customer complains of an inoperate or inaccurate fuel gauge, remove fuel gauge clamp, scrape area where clamp meets facia & reinstall, thus securing a proper circuit to earth"
Some service mechanics just took a 10" piece of wire with eyes on both ends, got an additional knurled nut from the parts dept.,and ran it from the clamp to chassis ground. (30 seconds instead fo 20 minites)
