  1. Trying to do a megasquirt n spark, this would help greatly!
  2. In comparison, I think those vents would significantly reduce water entering the engine compartment. I wonder if they would look okay to be fitted on the underside of the hood in the same orientation to give a more sleek look..
  3. I had 3 head bolts break because they were corroded to the thread from general conditions near an engine. They also had corrosion near the head, attaching them pretty firmly to the head. With lots of hammering, penetrating oil, a torch, and some wax, the head was broken (not literally) free and removed. All 3 bolts were broken above the thread by a fair amount, one broke free with a vice grip and more heat and hammering very easily. The other two were near impossible to remove. They ended up breaking again flush with the block. With quiet contemplation, we decided to use a magnetic drill press to remove said bolts, starting small and moving up, then using a tap to clean out the remaining metal. It was not pretty at first, and a little scary with a drill on the block, but it can be done. I would suggest doing this as a LAST resort. Broken bolt removers of all sorts did not work and ended as a waste of money in all cases on these bolts also. These three small pieces of metal turned a valve job into a complete nightmare!
  4. I'm going to be going that route also, I had forgotten that the dash had a fuzzy cover for so many years and now that it is off it shows many years of damage.
  5. I'm up to one as of this Christmas. A '74 2+2 260Z.
  6. Okay, wow, that really puts some perspective on what to do now. Thank you very much!
  7. I've been in the market for a Z to make my own, this is one of the only ones in my area at the moment. http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/788749610.html
