1969, I'm to test drive a new Elan. Dlr says he'll drive out and I will drive back.
On a hard 1-2 shift, a donut lets go. Half-shaft whips thru car like chainsaw.
45 minutes to walk back.
When I restored my Elan in 1985, 1st thing was to go w/Spyder axle conversion.
Newer cars had pins to keep this from happening.
ELAN OWNERS:
1. If your temp gauge swings around during turns, you have air in your cooling system. Will run > cooler w/no air.
2. Again, check advance curve after engine is really hot....it may have left the building. Cannot duplicate on distr machine.
