  1. I welded a 2 1/2 deep box so most of the B&M shifter is under the console, i shaved the corner of the chrome cover plate so it sat flat on the console. I can take a pic tomorrow if you want to see it.
  2. Thank you NewZed that sounds like my gremlin.,
  3. its been good for 2 years, this is the secound motor in this car.Im hoping to find out what the problem is, if for no other reason then to know what broke. I'll most likly wire it to come on with my primary fan.
  4. I tried the search and didnt find anything helpful. this a 78 280Z, SBC , carburated.. I used the stock wire to run a holley fuel pump. Got home turned the car off and the fuel pump stayed on. I have it down to this, if I unhook the charge wire from the alternator the pump turns off ( all other wires are unhooked from the alternator ), if I hook the charge wire straight to the battery the pump come on. any ideas ?
  5. Went back too the track ( 1/8th mile ), she was running slow, i guess it was just too hot ( 88 and humid ). I made 5 passes, the best of witch was 8.1 at 88 mph. the last run was my slowest, but it was good enough to beat a shelby cobra (mustang) http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n14/stwrangler/?action=view&current=280Zvsshelbycobra.mp4
  6. not as much as the stock dash, i would guess about 20 pounds
  7. dont know if this will help. its the last dash I made for my transam. http://www.78ta.com/smf/index.php?topic=3658.msg31303#msg31303
  8. the yellow scarab is here in northern Va, I saw it at a show in manassas last sunday. VERY GOOD LOOKING Z
  9. this is a dash I made for my TransAm, may have some helpful ideas for you. I like what your doing so far http://www.78ta.com/smf/index.php?topic=3658.0
  10. you could drill a 3/8 hole and then use a round file.
  11. use a bosch relay and use the factory key on to trip the relay that way there is no switch.
  12. I did some carb tuning and got 2 tenths faster. I think tires are the next up grade, so what works on Z cars ( stock wheel openings )
  13. the motor is a REAL HEALTHY 383 with a th350 trans and 2500 stall converter. I still need to do some carb tuning and get some sticky tires. My youngest son was doing the video, that motor was his first engine assembly (I watched him closely)
  14. sorry about the camera control, my son was runing the video. http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n14/stwrangler/?action=view&current=20100414172032.flv http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n14/stwrangler/?action=view&current=20100414170952.flv http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n14/stwrangler/?action=view&current=20100414174454.flv http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n14/stwrangler/?action=view&current=20100414170210.flv
