What engine are we talking, LS1 or JTR original recipe? Also any estimates on cost?
I will be making an engine commitment later this year so don't want to make any promises I won't keep.

Here is the old thread I was thinking about.

Not sure if anyone has used it.
I went on the MSA site and all they sell is stock replacement boxes, for $159 US. Ouch.
Did find this thread with some other options

Z fuse boxes are prone to melting. Maybe something is abnormally wrong or maybe it was just time for it to melt.
There are links for aftermarket boxes which use more modern fuses. I think MSA sells an improved box also.

Emissions are of no concern here in Georgia on a 78'.
Your car is still subject to federal regulations. You may be at a low risk of getting caught, but without the equipment you are still illegal.
Maryland requires a "saftey inspection" any time the car is sold. Part of the safety check looks for required emissions equipment. State laws can change without notice so you are not totally free from risk.

He says he is willing to spend a year in jail rather than support the war.
Gotta admire his dedication to his beliefs, no matter how misguided. At least he is being man enough to stand up and face the music (unlike the pussies fleeing the country).
I think people should act on their conscience. But he also needed to factor in his previous commitment, whether he feels he has “grown up†since his enlistment or not. This war is not so clearly black and white, good or bad, to outweigh that. I would like to think he will live to regret this as a mistake. But being anti war didn’t hurt Tom Hayden much.
I can’t believe his conscientious objector argument will hold water when he was little more than a cab driver. CO status just means you are moved to a non-combat roll to finish out your obligation. The military has procedures for just this reason. If he does jail time it will be for going AWOL and missing movement, not refusing to be a part of killing someone. The CO crap seems like an afterthought on his part.

Weren't the failed TC rods also on modified suspensions? I thought the one common factor was poly bushings which did not pivot and caused the TC rod to flex.
-
Hate to say search because the search function doesn't seem to be working well lately, but all of this has been discussed in some detail. You will want all the info you will pick up reading about the rust.
The bushings in particular you can save big $$ on. I can't remember the site but I am sure you will come across it as you read old posts.

Try a tank of premium gas and see if that makes a difference.

... I posted my GT3 thread from here over there and within 10 minutes I had a bunch of asses telling me how wrong I was for driving that fast on a public road... It spiralled and was deleted within the hour...

What do you guys think about this engine for a 240
http://www.golenengineservice.com/displayEngine2.cfm?EngineID=28
Pretty much everything I could want in a non LSx engine. AFR heads, "fair" idle quality, big azz torque curve, 4 bolt mains, forged parts, roller everything. Figure I could do a Caprice engine swap to get the car smog legal and on the road relatively cheap, then strip the electronics and whatever trans to this long block. Obviously will need an LT4 intake, but how much of the other stuff do you think I could reuse?
Seems weird to me they have a cast steel crank and all forged everything else. Car will be a weekend cruiser so want something "streetable". This engine seems about as extreme as I would like to go.
Did some google searches and the company seems to have a good rep.

I would replace the wheel cylinders.
Some things aren't worth risking.

My 1970 240 had the non retractable kind of belts. I pulled a set of belts out of a Mazda 808. Had to have a parts store bend the mounting brackets in a press, but other than that it was "bolt in".
Got to a junk yard and think outside the box a bit. Paid next to nothing for the stuff from the Mazda because the JY knew no one you ever want the belts from that POS.

... I think it was something to do with a cuircut in the alternator/regulator/? 'sticking' and constantly charging.. Ie; It was basicaly running the engine/electrical system because the FIRST battry was dying, and on its way out. (dead cells, age) My guess is it then killed the NEW battery from overcharging, and by that point the alternator had had enough torture, so It gave out.
Exactly. If the voltage regulator is bad it will put too many volts to the battery and even that $165 optima will cook in short order.
The old Z's had external, mechanical voltage regulators. If they stick, or if the voltage sensing wire is shorting out, you will get too much voltage. You need to replace the voltage regulator separately from the alternator. The newer alternators have electronic voltage regulators built into the alternator itself.
Hook a volt meter up to the car. You can get ones that plug right into the cigarette lighter. Should stay around 14 Volts. The mechanical regulators will jump around a bit, but the average voltage should not go much over 14 volts.

Both of my children are miracle babies. There wasn't much anyone could say that helped us with the uncertainty at the time we were going through it. Just understand how much you will appreciate your children when they come.

Varies with the state, but the Maryland MVA will give you a name, address and even social security number if you have a plate number and $5.

Just pointing out that the 4 valve per cylinder, DOHC 4 banger is "old technology". Nothing new or high about it.
And I do believe 1918 is the correct year. There were other "production" cars of the era with the same technology, I would imagine on all sides of the ocean.
-
DOHC design? Back in the 20s used in racing.
The 1918 Stutz Bearcats had DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder 4 bangers in a production vehicle.

Plus the LS1 is a 5.7 litre, not 7.0

They ought to last a little longer than 30,000 miles.

At least two other ways. For just a picture or two, on the "insert" pull down menu you can select Insert->Picture-> From File. You can then browse to the web site and select the picture to insert.
The second way is "Paste Special". Copy from the web page, then on the Edit menu select "Paste Special". This will open a dialog box that lets you insert it as an HTML file.

Heard a song on the radio the other day. The guy was kind of half rapping about some homeless man he ran into. When he looked at the guy he immediately thought "Get a job". But then he noticed the homeless man had his underwear on outside his pants. The whole rest of the song he went on about how he was pretty sure even McDonalds had a "no underwear on the outside of your pants" dress code. How can this guy work there with his underwear on the outside of his pants?
Just don't ever give them money directly. If you really want to help them donate to a homeless mission or center for abused women. Admittedly these guys aren't trying too hard, but most of them have other problems.

I am the same way with American Chopper and Hotrod. Bitch and moan, all about the people and the drama. As for bike building, the guys on American Chopper don't seem to have a clue. Just tacking a bunch of other peoples parts together with seemingly not much thought into how it will all work together. I would like to see them ride a spiderman garbage bike cross country. Guess they are doing alright so who am I to critisize?
Now Jessie is cool because he can take a flat piece of steel and make anything out of it. I would love to have half of his tools.
I do like Overhaulin. It is interesting to see what they do with the cars. My wife even watches it toward the end of the show. The girl is not too bad. She stays on topic for the most part. And yes, like all car shows, it is becoming one long infomercial for the guys donating the parts.
They have made some pretty cool cars though. That Camaro they made for the 90210 guy was truely sweet. There were a couple of others with outrageous paint jobs. wouldn't mind being on the show. Taxes I can handle.

From internet explorer select Files -> Save As. When the dialog box pops up select "Web Page, Complete" for the "Save As Type:" option
I think that gets the whole thread (and not just the single page being viewed).
