Xylene and Axetone are both solvents - Acetone the more aggressive of the two. Thinning and cleanip can be done with them when using paints that are compatible. Zero Rust recommends the use of Xylene as a thinner. Probably becayse of the agressiveness of acetone and later top coating...

Datsunan" Thanks for sending me the spacer. Unfortunately, the spacer you sent was the one on the transmissionn side of the flexplate - not the one with the lip on the crankshaft side of the flexplate - which is the spacer that I need. Appreciate the effort though - you're aces in my book!

If you want COP and NOT wasted spark, if you have 6 cylinders then you need MSI - MSII can do 4 cyl. COP though. For sequential COP (NOT Wasted SPark) you need to have both a crank sensor and a cam sensor (or a signal from a distributor will do).

I think the carb's a bit big...

There wasa time, when I wasn't married, that I wouldn't make her beg more than 5 minutes....

Sorry I couldn't make it. I would have like seeign you and everyone else, but had too much going on.

Those are standard Chevy mounts - if it's chewed up, how much torque you got and do you drag race a lot? I take the mount out and go to a Chevy dealer and get another.

I and my friends all have Miller products, and the Dynasty is an excellent piece(wish I had one). Miller service is excellent for us little guys, and both Miller and Hobart (same factory) have forums. Since before I was welding I went to both, then took classes, and I think I've learned more from the forums that the classes - but the hands on experience probably allowed for that. I've heard of spotty CS from RED - particularly to us "small" guys. Their orientation seems to be more toward production shops/large volume buyers - and they don't have a forum for learning or even venting... HTP and TA are both good machines. The Syncrowave is a damn fine machine too, but uses a lot of power and is HEAVY - friend of mine had one. I can't fault any of the machines that you're deciding on - whatever floats your boat and you feel most comfortable with - you're guaranteed a "gooder".

If you're saying it only happens in the lower gears and "winging"the engine in neutral - your AE settings are off....

I've always liked "No Particular Place to Go" by Chuck Berry... Always used it as a first date icebreaker. "'Course, I was 6 when it came out...

Funny, they've BEEN international....

I think I'd go with Suspension Techiques and HP's

I vaguely remember a movie about street/roadracers out in LA that had a Z in it - I remember someone saying - "that's a Z", referring to a car running Mullholland Dr. Don't remember a movie with a flock of Z's chasing someone tho....

You could also use a hall sensor (PALLNET makes a mount for one) and put magnets in the back of the dampner....What I will be doing.

Well, the stock engines do fine with simultaneous squirts - not the BEST for emissions, but still fine. Depending on injector size, alternating can work - especially if you go to 2 injections per cycle.

I liked all the cool war toys: Bazookas, Mortars, Okinawa Guns (stuff that would lob projectiles) - we'd stage battles all day long. The grenades that you put caps in, the whole nine yards. GI Joes were for pu$$ies. When dad was in town, he helped us build bunkers and tanks, when he didn't take me hunting...

We're talking about idling now, and yes, sequential would ideally be the way to go in order to be most efficient and less emissions. But at higher rpms, the injectors are open longer than the valves anyway so it makes much less difference. I agree messing with the injector open time setting, alternating and 2 squirts will net you a bit, but if the injector is large enough, you'd be better off with simultaneous - as long as you have the fuel pump necessary to keep the pressure up!

I live just outside the city of Marietta on the NE side. Someone in my neighborhood used to work in Roswell, and the commute was about 30 mins in the morning and up to an hour in the evening.

I personally don't like KYB's, I prefer the HP's, which I have on my '75. I have Eibach's and Illuminas on my '83ZXT.

Let me think here: Alternating is set up to fire one injector driver, then the other. Simultaneous is fire both at the same time. Up to you to determine which cylinders on which injector driver. May not make much difference, as at high speeds the injectors are on a lot longer than the valve is open. Alternating will keep fuel pressure steadier. Minimum of 2 pulses per cycle. As I read it, if you are using large injectors (high boost turbo), you are probably better off with simultaneous and 1 squirt per cycle. This keeps the idle pulse as width as small as possible, where alternating with 2 pulses per cycle could be too much fuel at idle. So Turbo'd w/large injectors may need simultaneous and 1 pulse per cycle. Any normally aspirated engine should be better off with alternating and at least 2 pulses per cycle, providing you don't have too large an injector. Turbo'd engines with slightly larger injectors/lower boost would fall in the same category as NA engines. Is there anything wrong with this thinking?

2+2 ttops are bigger than the 2 seater...

Tjanks for the update Mike - didn't want to ask.... Hope the recovery goes well. Give my regards to your lovely wife - and tell her I got a new pair of shoes!

At least it's not as butt ugly as the Baja - what was the idea with those big honking lights below the headlights anyway? They should have recessed 'em - probably gone rectangular. Subaru has always been a bit odd...

If you don't need that spacer, I could use it for a T5 to auto conversion I am doing on my '83ZXT.... I've sent a PM... Thanks, Brad

I only run 18-19 " vacuum with a stock good compression ZXT - with a 2mm head gasket, the vac would probably be a bit lower. When does boost start to build when accelerating in 2nd gear?
