Bakersfield, and the San Joaquin Valley in general has terrible air quility issues, in many cases worse that here in the LA Basin.....As a matter of fact, many of the rules and regs in the SJVAQMD jurisdiction are more stringent that those in the South Coast AQMD due to the SJVs non-compliance with clean air standards.....just food for thought....

#2, #7, #8 will put you out of anything south of Camarillo and north of Tijuana! I would love to also get out of CA, but to buy back in (like you are finding) would be difficult. My house has more than trippled since I bought it 7 years ago.....I cannot afford to buy my own house! Good luck with your search!

No problem Mike. If Speedway was able to get them out quicker it would an option, but very few people want to wait 4-6 weeks for a set of axles.

Here....did the work for you: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=90068&highlight=q45

Speedway does make them, but they make them to order and their lead time is rediculously slow (they have better things to do than make sets of one-offs). My recommendation is to get them from Ross at MM. I believe they are made by Moser Engineering. There is a tutorial that I posted in the drivetrain forum a long time ago (while making Mike's set as a matter of fact). Do a search using my username in the drivetrain forum..... I don't do the axle assembly as it is too much time/effort than it's worth, and with the tutorial a monkey can do it. Mike's set was a favor to him.

Have you bled the rears? Maybe the rear shoes are out of adj.?

Damned good to hear from ya Denny!!

Fly there and drive it back If it is business to business (with a dock) you will get much better prices. Yellow Freight is pretty good.

Agreed!! Excellent use of rule of 3rds!

Mat, You have mail. Sparky, PM me your email addy. Tim

Mat, If you need it, I can email you the embroidery file of the design used for the caps. It will save you a 'set up' fee at the very least.... Tim

I ran it backwards in my Z, but I also ran a surge tank, fed by low pressure pump to ensure fuel supply. Tim

Check out http://www.WebMD.com I have found some good diagnoses there and home treatments for injuries. http://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/not45431.asp http://www.webmd.com/content/article/10/1680_54732.htm Hope it is something simple!!

Probably a scanner, not a regular Citizens Band, but then we all know how true to life and accurate that film is, so it must be so

Looks like he melted his steering wheel with a cigarette or something

Works fine for me.

In theory I would agree with the above....however, every OEM application that I have seen has the return line smaller than the feed, including the OEM Z28 LT1 application. I based my decision on line size using the OEM as my base.

I used -8AN for feed and -6AN for return. I also ran 30lb/hr injectors.

Actually it is stuffed full of 2 cars and the truck has to sleep outside. Lastest project is off to paint jail next week....

Lots of info at http://www.garagejunkies.net There have been several CAD drawings posted there and there is a ton of good ideas (too many sometimes ). Tim

I used Omini products on my truck and it came out great. I used a 7mm tip for the primer and set a pretty wide spray pattern. You may want to play with your gun patterns on a piece of carboard or body paper to set the gun correctly prior to shooting parts. When I paint cars, I tape up a large piece (6 foot x 6 foot) of paper on the wall of the paint booth. After filling the gun, I always "reset" the spray pattern by testing it on the paper. BTW, for the color coat I went down to a 4mm tip.

What size needle are you using? Also, are you reducing the primer? If so, are you using the correct solvent?

Although this isn't a Z example, I will give you some recent experience I had with my 71 Chevy truck. When I repainted I needed a new hood (old one rusted beyond repair), so for only a couple of bucks more, I put on a cowl hood (more for looks than anything...just something different). The other morning I went to the store. There was a good layer of water on the truck (condensation from the evening's chill). I have a pretty good layer of wax on the truck so the water beads up nicely..... Anyways: Even at fairly low speeds (<50mph), I noticed the drops of water running up the cowl, and being drawn (sucked) pretty briskly into the air gap of the cowl induction. The droplets from the windshield cowl (part that covers the wiper mechanism) also were pulled forward into the hood gap. That experience sold me on the "working" of the cowl hood...... . . . Just my 2 c worth
