Plugged Arteries & A Clogged Immune System!!

This book illustrates in an attractive and entertaining way how arteries get plugged and immune systems clogged. Through dialogue among the organs and cells of an ordinary couple, Howe and Shirley Bluit, basic health principles are presented including the "why" and "how to" of applying God's true remedies for better health. Black and white illustrations. About the Author Dr. Milton G. Crane, a graduate of Loma Linda University, is a Board Certified Internist, F.A.C.P., Specialist in Endocrinology & Metabolism, emeritus professor of Medicine of LLU School of Medicine, and was medical director of Weimar Institute from 1982-87. He is currently the director of medical research of Weimar's NEWSTART Lifestyle Center in Weimar, California. He is also author of A Modern Subtle Challenge to God's Authority and Preparation for Translation.

The MG's been off the road for a couple of weeks after breaking down on an afternoon run around the block.Right now we're trying to work out what's wrong.
During the run it started to sound like it was mis-firing and losing power; the oil gauge and revs dipped. A little further down the road the revs dropped fully, I lost power and I had to coast to a stop.
It then wouldn't start. Tried several times and it would either:
1. Fire but not catch
2. Catch but cut out (choke or accelerator couldn't stop it)
3. Catch and then rev right round the dial (at which point I pulled the key)
All the wires/cables seem fine and fuel is getting through - checked at the filter and at the hose before it gets to the carbs. I'd initially thought it could be out of fuel, but it after putting in a can of fuel it looks like the fuel gauge might be mis-reading. Choke and throttle cable aren't sticking.
Before taking it for a run I noticed that the overflow pipes for the carbs had become loose due to perished rubber connectors and replaced them. This is the only thing I'd done, so am a bit baffled as I'd taken it for a quick run in the morning and it behaved fine.
This weekend we had a look at the points which turned out to be set too wide. We also replaced some old fuel hose from in front of the fuel filter which had become corroded. A couple of people suggested it might be a sticking butterfly valve in the carbs (fig 3), but a look at those seemed to show them working fine (though we can't see what they're doing under power as the air filters cover them).
We're getting a spark both at the points and at the plugs, so I'm pretty sure it's not a spark problem, but I've ordered some new points and a new condenser just to rule them out.
As you can see from the video, it turns over but doesn't always fire and when it does it doesn't last long. To me it seems like fuel starvation. I broke the fuel line between the filter and the carbs and we were getting about 100ml in 30 seconds which seems a tad too little (pretty sure it should get a pint in that time). Just in case the fuel filter is clogged up with bits from the fuel tank I've also ordered a new filter.

with everything mechanised now, making a pair of wooden clogs (sans decoration) takes less than 15 mins. basically the machines work the way key duplicating machines work. so you'll need an original and a duplicate clog would be made!

Description:
Pervious concrete is an alternative paving surface that can be used to reduce the nonpoint source pollution effects of stormwater runoff from paved surfaces such as roadways and parking lots by allowing some of the rainfall to permeate into the ground below. This infiltration rate may be adversely affected by clogging of the system, particularly clogging or covering by sand in coastal areas. A theoretical relation was developed between the effective permeability of a sand-clogged pervious concrete block, the permeability of sand, and the porosity of the unclogged block. Permeabilities were then measured for Portland cement pervious concrete systems fully covered with extra fine sand in a flume using simulated rainfalls. The experimental results correlated well with the theoretical calculated permeability of the pervious concrete system for pervious concrete systems fully covered on the surface with sand. Two different slopes (2% and 10%) were used. Rainfall rates were simulated for the combination of direct rainfall (passive runoff) and for additional stormwater runoff from adjacent areas (active runoff). A typical pervious concrete block will allow water to pass through at flow rates greater than 0.2cm/s and a typical extra fine sand will have a permeability of approximately 0.02cm/s. The limit of the system with complete sand coverage resulted in an effective system permeability of approximately 0.004cm/s which is similar to the rainfall intensity of a 30min duration, 100-year frequency event in the southeastern United States. The results obtained are important in designing and evaluating pervious concrete as a paving surface within watershed management systems for controlling the quantity of runoff.
