Here's the PPG site, follow the product info link and you can download the information for the type of PPG paint you are using. It has all the times, the thinner type of sand paper to use, anyting you'll need to know. If you scuff their base coat you have to respray a coat over it. They know their product best.

Hey look up RacerX in Daly City.
-
I did find out it uses the old bolt pattern for the bell housing. It uses drive by wire on the injection (which this doesn't have). If I can get an intake that is cheap enough I'd buy it.

Tried a search but nothing came up, is it down? I'm interested in a 496 truck engine. Is it the same as the older tall truck blocks? I can get one cheap, but no fuel injection. Will the older truck block manifolds fit? I think if the you get the right ports and use a spacer the carb manifolds might work. Now, will the new ports match any of the older manifolds? I saw a marine version with a carb and distributor, but lost the site before getting any info.Might have been a GM high po web site. Any help from you Chevy guru's please............Thanks, Stale

American woodworker had an article in the Oct 2004 issue on removing rust off old tools. They used 1 tbs. of Arm and Hammer super washing soda from the laundry aisle at grocery store, mixed with 1 gallon of water. The pos. side of a battery charger was hooked to an iron rod, out side of the water. they bent the rod so it went around the tool (without touching it )and up out of the water. They ran a jumper wire to the tool and hooked the negative to that. I guess this is hard on the battery clips so they are kept out of the soup. The tool had little wooden blocks under it so the bottom would get clean. Bubbles indicates that the process is working. When the bubbles stop the rust is gone. It took a day and a half to clean a wood plane. There was an orange sludge that went to the iron rod that they claim is nontoxic and can be poured down the drain. Hope that helps a little.

Hi RacerX, How bout Z chrome by clausen? Hey, with a name like that it has to be good. Here's a link to the ebay mustang that Rad rods by Troy did. They talk about "Honey" what are they mixing with it? I just sparyed the Z chrome on a 31 model A today and I'll let it sit a week or so and see how it sands.

Hi Y-Not, Here is a couple links to a guy that sells MGB trunk latches for $25 that are close to the same thing. Just wonder if you can get the locks and keys to match on all three latches.

That might be a trade off, the power gained might be lossed to the power needed to drive the vacuum pump. This system is a small HP gain, 22 hp might be a little over inflated. Max gain is going to be in the higher rpm range. (6,000 - 7,000). Wheres Grumpy Vette? I'm sure he'd have knowlege on this subject.

Havn't heard anyone talk about it, but this worked with open exhaust. If you went thru the muffler there'd be back pressure. This was old school we used in the 70's.

Hi Glenn, It's been a while, I'm working on everyone elses car but my own. Just started on the Z roadster I've got, have a sbc or 500 cad for it. Just bought 280yz rear fenders off John Washington today for it. The GTO V-12 is next. In fact I just got my wire wheel adaptors for that car.
How do those new cams work? Are they worth the change? Have you been to the drag strip with them?
About that krown, How much does it cost a can? I thought about getting a case of it if it's any good. It sounds like a good idea, but..... is it?
-
Anyone?? thought this would be a product that a lot of Z fans would have a big interest in.
-
Thanks Innerware, but not quite the same thing. Krown is to be sprayed in the inner fenders, rockers, doors, ect,ect. It is a type of oil that creeps between metal parts that are spot welded, and crimped (door bottoms). It kind of jells over then. If it is scraped or scratched it will spread back over. kind of heal itself. It will stay and not drip out like reg. motor oil, and it doesn't have acids in it like some oil.
-
Hi, do any of you gut up north know anything about Krown rust preventing products? I'm interested in the spray cans. Does it work, how much does it cost, and can someone mail some? I contacted krown and they won't deal direct. They told me to contact one of their dealers. Anyone know the price of a can? Thanks guys
-
Hey thanks guys, I'll be using them a little more now. Door jambs and other tight places. It has been a long time racerX. Last time I talked to you, you were going to open your own shop. How did you make out? Thanks again!

To all the pro painters out there, what is your opinion on the 3M scuff pads? I'm old school, I've used 400 wet for paint jobs but a lot of people say to use the red scuff pads. Can they be used for a repaint? I'm doing a truck that has dents and a little rust repair, but the main paint is in nice shape as far as no orange peel or chips. With all the dings and dents on all panels I'm spraying the whole truck. (all ready wet sanded) and I just wondered about the scuff pads for the next job. Thanks for any info.

Do a search on Google for Autoxray. They make different types for OBDI
OBDII and that new one CAN that some car are using this year. Price is like always, ya get what you pay for.

O.K. must be 1/2 inch on the dampner Pete's site said 1/2 inch between the fire wall and HEI, now if I only had the top of the block to the top of the firewall. By the way Pete, you once said you wish you had a simple way to have bolt thru mounts.
Guess we'll skip the cross member spacer.
-
VRJoe, do you have them installed now? How was the fit? Any mods made to get the in? I'm interested in a set.

If I remember right RacerX had a post on this awhile back. But he wasn't into the vacuum forming.

Here's a nice 280z body kit, It's in John Washingtons area. Be nice if John bought it and made molds. There's always room for more Z kits.
