Chicagoland MG Club: Driveline November 2018
 
MAKE YOUR CHOICE -
THE CMGC AND VMGCC MEMBERS' CHOICE
AWARD

As announced and explained in the September Driveline (page 6) and Vintage Viewpoint (page 8), YOU - as a member of either Club - can select your favorite driving event that was organized and held this year.

All you must do is choose ONE driving event - as your favorite, YOUR "Member's Choice". How do you choose? Just send an e-mail to Doug G. Clark (mgtbc@sbcglobal.net) with the name / title of your Choice.

As we plan on presenting the inaugural award at the Holiday Party on Sat. 1st December, all choices MUST be received no later than Sat. 24th November - so there will be time to have the award engraved.

The following is a listing of the eligible driving events (i.e., those for which dash plaques are awarded to members of both Clubs):

Safety Fast!

Technical Tidbits

Using the proper tool will make the maintenance task easier. Below are some tools that could make your task more enjoyable.

Doing Carb work without a Unisyn or similar tool is just an exercise in frustration. Unlessyou are an expert, comparing the hiss will not get the carbs in sync.

A 12-volt test light is needed for any electrical troubleshooting.

A good electrical multi-tester will save a lot of aggravation in finding ignition and charging problems.

A good screw-in compression tester is a must. If the compression is bad, a tune-up is a waste of time.

….and most important...

Never get under the car without using jack stands.
