got spark?

Cool, Thanks fella's John

I want to run a MSnS system on my Z project car. How well will the MSnS work with a fairly hot cam(282 advertised,242@.050)? I need to know if it will idle ok. I ran a Holley "Projection" system years ago, and was not real happy with it. It was the analog system. The MSnS looks like a great setup, but I have not seen any mention of Hot cams and Idle characteristics. John

I am with ZZZeee!!!

Water valve open?

Why not use a conventional phlange and u-joint? it will give you more room and be stronger.

U-joints will do what you have described. John

This joke right? lol John

I believe it grounds on the inner fender back near the battery! John

My 69 Road Runner was the same color! It was a Plymouth factory color called "Bronze Fire Irridescent" It was a very unusual at the time and got lots of compliments. Nice Z!!!

If i'm not mistaken, I believe a 280 cover will also fit. John

I need a 300zx differential input companion flange(if it wiil fit my 280 long nose R200 diff). I am installing a SBC and would like to use the larger bolt circle flange, if possible. It should be much stronger than the small bolt circle models. I don't plan a lot of drag strip launch's, but I tend to over engineer my stuff so that I have very few failures. JTR has a 300zx drive shaft flange that will allow using the large bolt circle diff flange. If you have the diff. flange I need I will probably buy it from you. John DeHaan

Thanks for response. That help[s a bit. Anyone else? Anyone? Beuller?

Anyone?

Hey fella's, I am a little concerned about the strength of the input flange bolt circle. Has anyone had any problems with the bolts shearing off? I have the 2.25" flange with 8mm bolts. Will the flange from the 300zx, which has the larger bolt circle and 10mm bolts, fit my R200 pinion? Does anyone have one for sale? Thanks, John

thanks!

The engine I have is using a set of bearing spacers. It is a 400 block and is using a forged, large journal, 327 crank. The spacers appear to be an actual set of 400, .010 mains, that have been modified. Is that what is used for spacers, Main Bearings? They have a Clevite Part # MB2562P. Thanks, John

Nice work!

Thanks fella's. I am off to the machine shop! John

Thanks!

400 block, Brg. spacers, 6" rods, and appropriate forged pistons. The original 327 crank was scored more than I wanted to deal with, so I got a replacement forged crank and had it ground 10-10. The pistons and rods have already been balanced and are good to go. What I am wondering, is if I can neutral balance the crank, flywheel, and damper and have a balanced assembly. Knife edge referal was to use as a bearing surface to hand balance the crank assy. Thanks

Hey Guys, I am building a chev 350 V-8 to put in my Z-car and I need to pick your brains. The rotating assy. has balanced pistons and rods. The 327 crank is new to this setup and has been reground 10-10. My question is this; do I have to rebalance the entire assy., or can I get away with a neutral balance of the crank, flywheel, and damper? If I can get by with a neutral balance of crank, what do you think of balancing the crank on a set of knife edges? It will be used for occasional street use only. John

I won't believe his #'s until its been in a wind tunnel. All of those rough edges induce drag. His improvements could very well be caused by driving differently without realizing it. If that had been an aircraft it would likely no longer fly. For what its worth.

I agree with Naviathan. It looks to me like the frame rail is rusted out. Check it carefully!
