  1. Do you point the dist rotor to #1 or #5 (engine at TDC) when setting initial timing? My books are in storage and I can't remember right now. Thanks, David
  2. Just found out I didn't get the job that was offered me, oh well such is life. But I did e-mail the main account manager who's dumbass employee made the offer (bitch). Think I'll go smoke and have a few drinks tonight counting my blessings that I still have a job. When one door closes another opens, trying to keep a PMA!!!! David
  3. I'll put the Dyson up against the roomba any time. My motto if you want it done right do it yourself haha, roomba...
  4. If you're in the market for a vac cleaner I'd recommend the DYSON it rocks!!! My wife swore by her Panasonic till we got the Dyson. We vaccumed (sp) the bedroom floor like 10 times and it was still picking up "stuff" from the carpet (we have 2 dogs) it really "sucks" like no other vac AND you never have to buy bags for it $$$. Absoluty awsome IMO. d
  5. I've run with and with out the GM friction modifier in my old Blazer (K5). It does reduce the "chatter" in the rearend. I'm planning on using it in my LSD along with synthetic gear oil when I do my install. Can't hurt. d
  6. Title says it all... My sweetie is getting: (she really wanted this!!!) Dremel tool the one with 5,000 attachments Shiatsu (sp) massager. Diamond watch. I got a remodeled garage, so, well I get nothing (oh I did buy an LSD for the Z haha) Post up folks, lets see how many of our "signifigant others" read the posts on HybridZ, I know mine doesn't or I'd be in deep dodo for the LSD "thingy". Hope everybody has a safe and happy holiday season. Oh BTW I think I got a new job for Christmas, I've got an offer!!!! YES. David
  7. Considering going the EFI route on my roller engine. Anybody run this before? Thoughts? P/N 350-3500 Thanks, David
  8. Land o plenty Kalifornia I think this car would bring $1200 to $1600? Parting it out may be an option? Tail lights look good (I've got dibs if you do part it out also I'd buy the door panels.) Just my .02 worth because I paid WAY too much for my 73.
  9. My garage was a mess so I decided to get it in shape for the winter. I painted the ceiling, walls and trim. I hired Garage Concepts to refinish the floor and put cabinets in too. I’m probably one of the worlds worst at obtaining “while I’m at it syndrome†so Lisa and I painted the cabinets to give the garage a more finished look. The garage floor originally had 2 coats of LOUSY epoxy paint on it which never cured right. Garage Concepts chemically removed, striped and grinded the old floor down and then put a new brown “paint chip†epoxy floor down and sealed it with two coats of clear. I still need to do some spot painting and install the entertainment package (DVD/STEREO/CD/SPEAKERS) So without further ado here is my new and improved garage. Honey have you seen the Cobra??? Accident waiting to happen. Wall of shame. King size mattres for sale CHEAP. Clearing stuff out. Painting, most of the floor stripped. Floor ready for epoxy. Floor down cabinets in. Another pic. Photos of the Scarab: Special thanks to Bob P. Scarab went home, I killed the battery and had to jump it. Way to go slick :clap: Cobra in garage waiting on the my Z to come home....
  10. Yawnnnnn... China's economy would be destroyed w/o the US buying their "goods". India, oh what ever let them figure out the Kashmir problem first. Russia has a problem with Checinia (sp) civil war terroism (sp) etc. Putin an ally of the US would NEVER call the US out. Who we (US) have to worry about is N Korea. A rouge nation that places no value on human life. Too bad Colin Powell is quitting the Bush admin I really feel he was making progress. Again just my .02 worth David
  11. OK if you are even considering doing a swap go to http://jagsthatrun.com/ and buy the basic book for the v-8 swap. Sheez this has been posted soooo many times already. Next SEARCH our little site for keywords. LS1 etc. Finding a car? You didn't even extend us the courtesy of telling us where you are ie register yourself correctly. Admin note could we make the "location" field a MANDATORY entry for folks like this???? I'm in ArKanSas and can find a car (240-280) here and there but where are you, tim-buck-too? We need a bit more info and a budget, use the search function and you'll gain a load of knowledge. Sorry guys just a rant and my .02 worth ds
  12. Ooooooo broke foods (Bill Engval) haha Never mix em because when the hot grease from that Spam meets the powdered cheese, boy it'll make a taco fart seem like a warm tropical breeze....
  13. WHAT A DAY!!!! Dow 10,590.22 +162.20 (+1.56%) Nasdaq 2,138.23 +41.42 (+1.98%) S&P 500 1,191.37 +17.55 (+1.50%) Don't worry I know what turnip soup and Ramen noodles taste like too
  14. allrighty then... 川添 Kawazoe (riverside) 歩 Ayumi (walk, deeper meaning: walk your own way)
  15. Hey Bill You're right about the 3.90 rear gear, you remember riding in mine? 1st goes by WAY too quickly followed by second. I just got my LSD (not in the car as of yet) with a 3.70. So you're thinking the 3.54 gears are better? I've got a set of those too and was wondering if it would be worth the trouble to install them in the LSD. Tell me your major gripe with the 3.70 are you doing a lot of freeway driving? I'm guessing you are. I'm only doing the twisty turns and stuff like the road to Branson. If you're interested in the 3.54's send me an e-mail (they're in a complete rearend right now). David
  16. Well my buddy "Bob" finally let me drive his original Scarab that he brought to Arkansas from California. The fit and finish of the car is excellet. It has the Recaro seats and they really "hug" you. The car is quiet and solid. The 4 speed shifts smoothly but the engine is a little bit down on power compared to mine. So "Bob" wants MORE POWER and he wants me to give him ideas. I'm thinking a set of 180 AFR's and a new cam will get him the power he wants. ds
  17. Yeah I'm getting the same one WTF are they doing trolling this board??? Ass clowns
  18. OK vettes are like asses, some are nice but everybodys... Oh nevermind, no offense Mike K. I like vetts but I'm glad I got the Cobra instead. Now hold on Mike (on3go) I guess a lot of folks let you off the hook here... We need an update on the HULK!!!!!!!! Whats going on with it?????? ds
  19. I want one but I don't know where I'd drive it. http://www.howeandhowe.com/videos/SPONSOR.wmv
  20. Tommy Boy!!! And I live in Arkansas hahahahaha
  21. My LSD showed up today!!!! I'd like to thank two members of the board for their help on this. Doug Mathis (seller) and whoever didn't send Doug the money for the part, after he held it for them for some time. Now I can get on with my CV conversion and put in the LSD Yeah!!!! David
  22. Should get a discount somebody took a bit out of it.
