Good news Dale! Lookin' forward to seein' tou at the DNI meet again!

I think that a fiberglass L88 style hood would be refreshing compared to the other cowl induction hoods on the market - one that will allow room for the L series engine (bubble portion extending forward far enough).

I may b e wrong, but SSAutoChrome has had a bad rep from the posts I have seen elsewhere.... Anyone that doesn't specify garrett housings is suspect in my book - the cheap housings crack...

Definitely use somwhere around 660 ohm resistors. There is thread in the MSextra forums about this.

Lookin' GOOD Gabe!

My wife did that to a car when the oil change place didn't put the oil cap back on the engine....

Also - any wire that run parallel to another wire need to cross over/under the other wire in order to avoid inductance problems....(misfires)

Backspacing is exactly what it says - the distance from the edge of the rim to the back of the hub mounting surface. Offset is either positive or negative if you have any. The thing you haveto keep in mind with offset is that you have to realise that the wheel is actually a full inch wider than stated specs when figuring out backspacing. Positive offset will move the hub surface toward the outside edge of the wheel and negative toward the inside edge. In your case, with 15x7 wheels, which are 8" across - you have 0 offset and a backspacing of 4 inches - see how what I said works out? 15x10 wheels woould actually be 11" wide, so with 0 offset would have a backspacing of 5.5", but you have a negative offset (which moves the hub mounting surface toward the inner rim of the wheel of 45mm, which is a little over 1.75" and you wind up with 3 and 111/16" backspacing - which will fit strutwise, but not in stock fenders

I think that posting specs on suspension setup w/o tire info is a bit worthless... UNLESS you run the same size all around. Still, choice of aspect ratio makes a bit of difference in feel, so I would think that at least tire sizes F/R should be included...

280ZXT's had vacuum pumps also.

Mickey Thompson's site states that rims can be +/- 1" from the measured rim width used. In the case of this size, an 8" rim was used, so you should be ok...

Sounds a lot like the old CAS problem - when they get old, they start going flaky with heat. If you look under the slotted wheel in the distributor, I bet you will find that what would normally look like caked wax looks like it is jellied... That is why I am going to put magnets on my dampener and use aftermarket ignitors and COP units when I MS my '83ZXT - I literally can't trust the car to take me anywhere anymore.

You DO NOT have to take out the dash to replace the speedometer -just drop the steering wheel and remove the instrument cluster. Of course you DO have to put the speed sensor from the existing speedo into the '79 unit in order for Bitchin' Betty and the cruise to work. I KNOW - I've done it.

I believe the center hole needs to get machined to a larger diameter for it to fit over the Z hub - no adapters/spacers needed...

I intend to use mild steel, then have them painted after welding together and adding attachment bungs for compressor bypass valve, PCV etc...

It ain't optimal...

OR First On Race Day...

The 1970 LT-1 and LT1 engines have about the same horsepower - 1970 used gross figures. Driveability-wise either of the FI motors will be better.

Actually, w/42mm offset, and a 42mm spacer (for a net 0 offset), his backspacing will be 4.25" on 7.5" wide wheels...You have to include 1/2" for the width of the bead seat that is not included in the width measurement... A 7" wheel actually measures ~8" across...

you could also use the p&h boards that let you run low impedance injectors w/o pwm and resistors...

Neat solution! I built my rotisserie so that I could simply jack the car up off the jackstands with platforms for bottle jacks - a two person job with less equipment... http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=2015&cat=500&ppuser=7953

I believe there are a total of 10 of those connectors on ZXT's...
