  4. He might bring the z to the track, but only be there for about an hour to show it around. He might make it in the morning. Will look forward to meeting you.
  5. I know who got the z. Bring the 510 out to the track if you get it.
  6. See if you can fit the Night gallery episode "the caterpillar/little girl lost" in your fantasy Tony.

    It has a yellow plastic plug in it now, some of the pics show it. I'll get it patched in the next couple of weeks. First things first, track day June 5th, then I'll do the running around to get it patched, swap tanks, swap driveshafts etc. And yes, even with the carb problems it's a lot of fun to drive around. After the carb and driveshaft I'll make a decision about keeping the auto or go to manual, if I keep the auto, i will probably swap a 4 spd auto. Someone has already done it and I think there is enough room the 4 spd will fit between the tension rods.

    Thanks to kenz240z on classiczcars and here, we were able to pull the majority of the dents out of the tank. Harbor Freight stud guns rule. Kenny gave me some good pointers and I learned the proper way to place the studs. It's not perfect, but I am pleased with the results. **MODS, feel free to move this thread in the project section**

    I got the truck up on a lift today adjusted the valves and it passed emissions Carrier bearing is toast, needs RR axle seal, once the front pads wear down it will need new rotors, fix wiring rats nest at the rear and rf parking light, egr is gone as is the air pump, missing some linkages on the carb, it's a wonder it even passed the sniffer test. There is a broken valve cover bolt that has been "worked on". If I don't replace the head, i will at least take the old one off and have the bolt hole fixed. Gas tank isn't original, i don't even know if it came out of a pickup. I will have to take pics of that once I find a tank and replace it. Only pics can describe how it's mounted. The good news, I know of someone that has a parts truck. Hopefully it will have the tank, a/c bracket and the parts to do a manual transmission swap. Even with the problems found today the truck is still a good deal at $600. Future upgrades,,, possibly will go with a weber carb, new intake and exhaust. I'm not sure if i will go with a 2.4 or just stick with the 2.0.

    I finally took it out for a test drive. The tires are definitely too tall. No blowing smoke or running too rich. All the lights work. The heater works. It has some balls for a 2 liter and automatic, maybe its the 4.38 gears. Once it warms up it runs smooth with no misses.

    It runs right now so i will stick with that till i figure something out. I would like to go with on board air station using an old a/c compressor. The odo shows 48K and if it stayed in grand junction i would have to believe the actual miles. There isn't any undue wear on the brake pedal(auto). There is some rust coming through a respray, but nothing that can't be fixed. No major or minor fixes from accidents.

    Found my 620 and brought it home yesterday. 500 mile rt and $600 later.
  17. Anyone in or near tucson that could check out a truck for me? Please PM me.
  18. Cedar Point? I remember the first time I went to cedar point. The Mine Ride was the newest roller coaster.
  19. The nerve of that vendor selling cheap azz lights! Out him so we can tell him what for!. BTW. zsondabrain(?) on classic zcars has plug and play headlight and parking light relays for 240z up to '73.
  20. Great looking car! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=159438
  21. Don't eat yellow snow. Don't piss on an electric fence.
  22. How much are they locally? Napa, advance etc?
  23. Go through all the trouble swapping a v8 in a z when you could just get this.
  24. His old photos used sway bar end links using longer bolts going through the diffy and cross member. It was a quick cheap solution at the time, but the RT mount is a better solution, although not as cheap as prox's first try.
