Hmm, I don't know if it looks like that or not. In truth I lost my pulley bracket. So I don't even know.

Did you ever get around to getting that pic?

How does $15 + flat rate sound? I don't know what the going rate is.

As the title states I am looking for an AC idler pulley and bracket. The engine I have came from an 1982 280ZX so I need one that will fit that. I have paypal, ready and willing to buy. Please post some pictures or PM me with details. Thank you.

Why not use some google and see if you can find his grorup buy? I know he still makes them. Another option is the cockerstar fuel rail.

Do you have an aftermarket FPR?

Why didn't you just plasti dip the hose? I did that to mine, no more leaks

It's a little messy wiring wise, but it works

I was just gonna go with new springs with a stock spring rate. Good thing to know about the feeler gauges, never though about doing it that way. I just used the normal method of setting the valve lash, had an old hot rodder show me how. I gapped them first cold ( 8 intake, 10 exhaust), then warmed it up and gapped them hot (10 intake, 12 exhaust), it's the only way to do it. I will put more miles on it and see what happens....

I have to say I thought I wasn't going to have this problem with my engine build. I was using all stock parts and using the rocker arms exactly as they came off the head, cam lobe matched to rocker arm.... Anyways couldn't for the life of figure out why I had a LOUD tap, then I remembered this thread. So going on a whim I pulled my rockers and sure enough there were some with really bad wear, and were "wonky"(yes that's a technical term) So I replaced those with some good rocker arms, and the noise decreased..... Now if i could only get the valve lash set, and the gap would stay I would be golden. Oh well I guess I'll be looking into some new springs. Sorry to thread jack. Hope all goes well for you. Thanks for your experience.

"you people" what do you mean by that eh? lol

Yes! + 1

I'm using something similar to this.

There are some things to switch around. If you don't want to change out the clutch and pressure plate you'll want to use the the throwout collar from your current transmission and use it on the new transmission. Also, you'll want to switch out the speedo cog from your current transmission and put it in the new one as well. It won't help or hurt you're take off, but you will have that extra gear. It is definitely worth it to switch over to the 5 speed. If you want more power off the line, get a higher gear ratio rear end or you know do engine modifications..... EDIT: I don't know what diff you have.

You misunderstood me, and I apparently stated wrong. Didn't mean to step on any toes here, just curious is all.\ EDIT: I'm looking into the locks right now.

Any updates with this or is this just another thread that hasn't been properly answered?

Holy cow... what the....how the....dang!

pics?

While, the ticket does suck substantially... This isn't exactly a bumper, it's a support for a body kit and a little reinforcement.

Sorry you had to sell it.

Can't see the video, make it public...

You cant follow to the pump to see which one it is? I can do that with my broken leg....
