How big are the main power feed wires going to the relay/then to the pump? The relay 'switch' wires can be tiny, but the power feed wires should be nice and big..... Tim

Be different and go Z31

Pete, Which tank did you use. I am planning to do something very similar so I can turn the fuel cell around and face the outlets forward so that they are hidden. I was going to just use a cheap low pressure carby pump to transfer from the cell to the tank, and run the return line from the rail back to the tank instead of the cell. I was thinking about actually making up a tank out of aluminum, with one -8 outlet at the bottom and three fitting on the top...1 for incoming fuel from the cell, 1 for incoming fuel from the fuel rail return, and one overflow back to the cell....... Is that about how yours is set up? [edit] Just re-read your post...did you use the emissions tank from the passenger side quarter panel?[/edit]

For every inch of rust that CAN see, there's 3 inches that you can't. Unless you get a smoking deal and have the time and equipment to repair it, then I would pass too.......but it really depends on the availabilty of cars in your area.... Tim

Do you think that the fiberglass hatch and fiberglass pantera deck will go together easily? Should do huh?

U guys gotta stop eating those double size bean and cheese burritos!!!

Sorry to hear about your bad luck there Dan! Hmmm...maybe we will have to start the 'no car at MSA this year ' club? Tim

If it's jet fuel, then you have a problem...drain and flush. If it's avgas (aviation fuel - prop planes) then no problem, it's just high octane leaded fuel. Tim

I drove my old brown 240 with no bushings on the driver's side TC rod for weeks (nut backed off). The only thing I really noticed was that the tire seemed to rub the fender when backing and turning at the same time Tim

Ok...although I'm no expert (maybe John Coffey will pipe in), I self taught myself over the years, so take this advice as such: 1. Concentrate the weld pool on the thicker material and 'dip' onto the weaker material. 2. Weld in shorter bursts to decrease the heat in the metal. 3. If there are gaps where it is diffucult to shape the new metal to the old, weld up to the point where the gap begins, then, while the metal is still hot from welding, hammer it into shape so that there is a good meeting of the two metals. 4. Take your time. You may need to do it as little as a small 'tack' at a time to prevent burn through. You'll find that once it has some weld material, it will be easier to run a second pass to get good penetration....but this only works where cosmetics are not too important... Tim [edit] Flux core is not stronger. The gas is used to shield the weld from atmospheric impurities (oxygen). Gas shielding is usually better, neater and stronger. That said....all my welding was done with flux core wire[/edit]

Bill, I think I have a full set at home (since I shaved them all on the body). I can look tonight at their condition.... Tim

That's one way to piss off your class mates!!

Go through the yellow pages and try some of the trucking companies.... Tim

Sweet man...I know the feeling and can understand your enthusiasm!!! Be carefull and make sure all sysems are 100% before really giving her hell!! Tim

Or, just do what I plan on doing...converting an LT1 manifold to use a rear mounted dizzy, drill the bolt holes and use it with MS... Tim

OK..I'm game: Question 1 to Mr. Japanese master fabricator: Will the car be making to this year's MSA show? (sorry, couldn't resist) Tim

well....I wasn't gonna say anything.......

DAMN THAT'S SWEET!!!!!! Come on Eric...don't tease...give us more!!! Tim

Cool!! Things must be looking up for the Dave'ster!!

Just got pulled over again....same place, same deal...no front plate on my Z28!! Shite...now I gotta deal with DMV to get a new one!!
