Jack point? Mass to help with vibration? I wondered that myself when I took mine off.

I see people use multifunction gauges for the large ones, as those are readily available, and singles for the smalls.

When I was ordering my vintage air stuff the guy said the evaporator, compressor and condenser has to be designed for 134. As long as it all is, it's just as cold. How many cars AC systems in the last several years haven't been cold? I think in the early days of the switch they were just using 134 in the old style hardware. When I was at the AC shop getting my hoses crimped, that guy said they are talking about doing away with 134 in the next few years.

The new ones he sends are made in china from a company called omega.

Fuel system is finished except for a short piece of return hose and 4 clamps.

If you have a local speed shop check them out. There's one about 45 min from here and they sell main hoops. From the narrowest to widest they carry, they come in about 6-8 widths. It looked like they were 2 inches increments in widths. They said they could get any hoop width made, and they were under $100 for ones they had in stock.

Please do. I would like to see how they look installed.

And here is the explorer service tag in case anyone wants to go a googlin some specs.

Just for a little info. There is an explorer parked right next to my Z. My 6 bolt Q45 axle looks to be about 1.25 and the explorer is 1.430. That's the best I could get with a caliper under there. Almost 1/4" difference.

What kind of driveline angles are you getting with that setup?

http://www.epcoshiftknobs.com/push_button.html This place has some choices of knobs and can add a button to it, and the prices arent bad. Where would the button be less obtrusive, on the top, or the 11:00 position? http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/automotive/interior-auto-accessories/shifter-knobs/gear-shift-knob-with-engine-start-button-0416042p.html#.U0gAAFf6GIA This one is nicer with the hidden button, but would prefer all black. http://www.rhdjapan.com/night-pager-missle-shift-knob-universal.html This would be the ultimate if it wasn't so expensive and could have the Datsun logo. http://www.dctms.com/product__ACS_Mercedes_carbonfibershiftknobs.html I would like to find a knob with a flush button, or a covered one as second choice. Anyone got anything?

How does it work? I've read up on how the stock works and it would be very difficult to have it work in our cars in that way. I think it looks at speed, pedal positions, etc.

If you can't find the right adapter, try using WOG to seal it. That stuff works really good.

Litmans hood looks to be fiberglass in his pictures. Thats probably why 30 pounders worked for him.

I did the same on mine but didn't plate it. I thought about intersecting that bar with one coming down from the top inside corner of the A pillar to sort of make an upside down T, but I was getting tired of welding on all the while I'm at its and just moved on.

If it works out, please post some of the mounting distances from common points on the car.

This is kind of like the way TTT has the slotted rear to get some camber adjustment.

I wish! I have to finish up the fuel system, all of the exhaust, all wiring , put body panels back on, interior back in, and paint. My goal is to be able to at least start it by July1. Plus we have a crawfish boil to go to this weekend.

I would use the mounts again, but not the radiator hoses or AC stuff. Maybe just the AC bracket and compressor to keep from having to make your own mounts, but I would get the hoses,drier, and the rest of the AC system from vintage Air. I wasn't happy that he uses an AC compressor that's made in China. I'm hoping a sanden will bolt into the same place when this one fails. The JTR headers fit well. I am mostly pleased with everything I used so far.

I think LS2 is 400 hp stock but 6 liter? Check out LS1tech.com

I ordered the urethane supply stuff and it came in yesterday. Maybe next weekend I will have time to get started to see how it works out. I'm going to use great stuff foam instead of melting the rod because the tool was almost $300.

You just have to make sure you push it tightly all the way forward when you tighten the mounting screws so that angled oval piece of plexiglass in the Datsun pod doesn't rattle.

I believe the manual on xenons shows how to open it. Looks like you put half in a vice and then bolt a bar onto the cylinder bolts and basically unscrew it. Does anyone know if that's correct? I got a booster from rockauto and I didn't put it on the car for a long time from when I got it, and it looks like they put the 2 halves back together 180 degrees out. The tube for the vacuum is in the wrong place. Will that hurt anything? I will be finishing up the brakes and bleeding them in the next few weeks, and would rather take it apart now if there will be a problem than after I have everything full of fluid.

What did you use to roll the lip?
