Pair of '67 Cougar tailights, just in case I convert the Z to a mini-Eleanor!

Is that the 240 or 280 size?

5x4.5" is a Toyota, Ford & Dodge passenger car pattern, quite common. '84 and '85 had a lot of offset, didn't they?

Somebody watched "Corvette Summer" too many times.

Geothermal heat pumps are gaining on a domestic scale. After 20 years I hope the manufacturers have the details worked out. They are more common in the Midwest. It exchanges heat with the ground, instead of the air. They aren't absorbing molten magna temperatures, however, just the year-round constant 55 deg. The system requires less energy because you are only pulling heat from a 20 degree difference, rather than a 50 degree difference between indoor and outdoor air temperatures. The advantages are less cost to operate, and there is no outside condenser/compressor/blower box, and it emits HOT air out of the central air registers in the Winter. The disadvantage is the initial installation cost and the land surface area required for the ground loop. For my house I'll need either a 400' long by 6' deep trench or a 200' drilled well.

Be sure to sign all your corespondence to "Erikson Larry" as "Smith Mark".

You could remove the tape with acetone, or goof-off, or desolv-it..... then drill through the clips and supply your own sheet metal screws.

Tried the grease method on my Explorer last year, the pilot bearing is a caged roller bearing, guess what? greased squirted back out through about 20 little tubular openings. I ended up buying this a HF: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=4876 but I had to turn it down on the lathe to fit inside the center bore ( I think it was about 5/8") of the bearing - And it will not reach deep enough without removing the flywheel.

My local parts house chain (Advance, Kragen, Shucks, Checker) shows this item: Part Number: 54301 Universal Fit Factory Air Condenser Fitting Size 3/8" x 1/2" M Flare; Core Size 1 1/4" x 14" x 20"; Overall Size 1 1/4" x 14" x 23 1/4" Cross references to "everything" from AMC Gremlin to VW. Probably not exactly what you were looking for. Did you check with Black Dragon Auto? (FKA Victoria British), Lanexa KS.

Not sure what these are called (Alloy Cross?): Saw it on EBAY $125 for one. I have a set like this one with caps.

Short version of my story: I bought a cleared lot, perked good, the previous owner got the permits and started with the foundation, lost interest. We made a deal and they gave us the plans they were going build on. I have arranged private financing - no bank involvement - I hold the title to the land and improvements. Carlton Sheets I aint. More like real estate ignorant. I have only owned one house before. Bought well, lived there 10 years, moved in with my wife, rented the old house to friends and family a few years, sold well-worn to an investor. Not much profit-unless compared to renting. What I want: English Tudor farmhouse style - on a simple big box. No exotic roof angles. Masonry exterior. Full basement. private well & septic system. Geothermal heat pump? Standard interior trim. standard cabinets. Standard appliances, plumbing fixtures. No exotic wall angles or curves. Detached garage / shop 1000+ sqft I started by interviewing the original architect of the PO's plans, and a couple of local custom home builders, but nothing is clicking (aethetically, philosphically nor financially) so far. After reading an article in Popular Mechanics, I am thinking about being "my own general contractor". Just not sure how to start, or IF I have the attitude and people management skills. Subscribed to 2 building trade magazines - bad move - it just makes me change "plans" every month. There's talk of the housing bubble bursting - what would that mean to me? If I wait 6-12 months will the demand for new custom homes drop such that a builder will be begging for business? Anybody been here before?

Saw something like that on Star Trek once.

I have see fuel systems diagrammed in Hot Rod magazine several times, and they always plumb in the fuel pressure regulator AFTER the carb, before the return line. I don't know exactly why, but it may be to maintain consistent pressure vs.volume. I have read articles that advocate a returnless route for carb systems because every trip through the piping adds friction, heat, and agitation bubbles to the gasoline which allows it to evaporate at the tank.

If the Nissan rubber gasket seal lasts the next 36 years will amortise out to $5.50 a year.

The proportions and mounting of the slave cylinder reminds me of a BMW 2002. But the red annodizing says "aftermarket" and "racing part".
