Foreign Auto Menders has it all

Call Dan at Foreign Auto Menders (FAM) in Poway, CA (858) 486-0350. He has mountains of Spica parts, and always prices them very reasonably. Spica rules! Carbs are fuelish, stinky, loud, and don't provide the low-end driveability of the Spica (IMHO). Most people blame their ignition problems on the defenseless Spica pump, and degrade their cars with expensive carb conversions. Even if the pump is old & worn out, a wonderfully rebuilt/calibrated pump from FAM is far cheaper than the carb conversion. Can't figure out why so many folks think that is a "performance" upgrade! Congratulations on your great choice to restore your car to its natural configuration.
