Actually, this one afew of us were able to purchase from a fellow member afew years ago. James Thagard. Is that the right spelling? I'm so terrible with names, but I do remember you James. lol Excellent Man to work with! Has it been that long?

PM me please...

Depending upon the month your z was produced, this may be different then a '78. When I researched this stuff acouple years ago, '77 was a split year with different rear decks. I nolonger own my early '77, but I know the boards are different from a late '77. The bracket may be aswell...

I'm a tuner. I can tune! lol

Last I saw you, I thought you lost that a long time ago. LOL Do you have a power filter on the MSD power wire?

After loosing my job of 14yrs back in late April(4 days before my birthday) and not finding work until July, it hit hard. I had to cash out retirement to try and save the house, with no success. Dropped another grand to stop foreclosure, with not success. Lost it at the start of Sept.(8 years of equity gone) and with everything in a large storage unit, including the project car, I actually have more room but less time to work on it. I'm working again and even though I'm making $4.25 less an hour I'm still making more money due to the extra hours and side jobs. This is good because I don't have time to think about all the hardship. Now, if I could only find a place to live for less than $1100 a month that isn't in "South side" I'll be doing good. Sad, considering I was paying close to $1000 monthly for my 3-2-2. Everything happens for a reason and the Z has been waiting to be finished for over 2 years now and it may take me another year to get it running again, but atleast I know I still have "her" after 10 some odd years(maybe more). I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm just not sure how long the tunnel is. I lost the house, but not my passion for life!

I have one of Jame Thagards original intercoolers available. Don't really want to sell, but desperate times....

Quote from his cardomain site: "I chose CCW wheels and had them custom made for my application. The front rims 11.5 with 305/30/18 Kuhmo V700 and the rears are 12.5 with 335/30/18's. "

I wasn't implying that the thermotime switch was your problem. I just stated that it is apart of the wiring to those relays which also control several other functions. Exactly.

Well, it appears that when I last drove the '74 and the fan ate the radiator which led to it overheating, that it warped the head because I now have a leaking head gasket. I was hoping to drive it to the next meet, but it isn't looking like that is going to happen. It also seems that everytime there is a meet I have to work late on that very day! I'll be pulling the head this weekend and see if it is infact a warped head of just a blown head gasket. Just one more delay in this ongoing 4 year rebuild. I have to get it together before June because my step-son is coming back from Iraq and I told him we would go on a cruise with a bunch of other Z cars when he comes to visit.

Yep, looks like someone used an old cam and "polished" the rust off of it. As for replacing everything, we would need to see the rocker arms and I doubt the lash pads are bad. Afew more pics would let us give you some better advice.

If they are the slip under the gasket type, I'm interested.

He was just saving his time by pulling it down and loading it in one slick process.

If I do recall correctly, the thing below the coil is the resistor and the thing about the coil is a condencer. You didn't mention the transistor unit before. I have one of those....PM me. It should be mounted on the passenger side kick panel just above and to the left of the fuse box. It's been about 8 years since it was in the car so.....

Hey Chris, Please be sure to bring this new beast up to the next meeting. That thing sounds sweet! I'll actually be showing up for my first meeting this year. I need to get out more. Phil, Kyle do any wheelies for you?

I used something very similiar to this with a nut and brass washers on either side of the pan. For now I just have it capped off since I put the motor in still running the SU's, but will be going EFI and turbo eventually. http://www.purechoicemotorsports.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=71/category_id=87/home_id=71/mode=prod/prd71.htm

On my '77 there are to relays that control the fuel pump coming on. Well, actually one relay allows the other to come on which powers the pump. Ignition relay is passenger kick panel. The other relay is just above the vent handle by the flasher. The previous owner had pulled my ignition relay and jumpered all the wires, but couldn't get it to run. I bought it for $200 and tracked down the other relay. Replaced both relays and fired it up. Hope it helps

I run those spring rates on the street and it's not bad at all, plus your alittle heavier then me. Shouldn't be a problem.

MSA And MJLamberson, if you can't work out a deal on the DP I have one I'm willing to sell. I need money and project has been on hold for months do to lack of money, so.

I purchased a bag of the adaptor to block o-rings from McMasters when I could not find just one. Just pay for postage. Sadly, I still haven't hooked up the cooler or driven the Z for that matter, in a long time.
