Smile Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
Know the Ayer shop well - great reputation - I have no reservations about going to them - plan to ask them to quote IMS replacement.
I think I'll skip the chip. Not only are the claims suspect, but the huge price discount can't mean anything positive.....
I am planning to use the Lucas stabilizer, though. It has worked wonders in other applications. If my results are significant (positive or negative), I'll follow up with a re-post.
Again, thanks. Now pray for an end to this very long and very miserable winter :ah: so I can put the Box back on the road!!

What does the stuff actually do? What wonders has it worked in what other applications? How will you determine what effect it has had in this application?

I looked around a bit and I can't find much in favor of using it, and there are many articles slamming it. It just sounds like STP to me. I guess if you have an old car with a leaky engine and noisy lifters it might help you to get the car sold.

The best use I have found for STP is to put a drop of it on your hammer/sear engagement point. Does wonders for your trigger pull. It also makes for a nice improvement to the double-action pull when applied sparingly to revolver actions. Trigger job in a can!
