Nice shots...I wish I still had a Polarizer. I miss mine. Here is a shot from last weeks car show on the Hudson River. And the CRAZIEST, most well done, Honda Civic I have ever met. He is shooting for 1500HP!

I am running these injectors on a JSK 14mm fuel rail. I had the pintle caps converted to european pintle caps so that they drop into the Z manifold with the original seals. This looks like a really good deal for injectors that will support about 500HP on a 6 cylinder. This is for 8 injectors but you might be able to order just six. They are 42#/440cc high impedence. Four spray holes in the tip. http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=634 FOUND THIS INFO ON THE WEB SO TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT: All from Ford Tech Support (800) FORD788, 1-800-367-3788 Q: What fuel pressure are the injectors rated at? 42 lb @ 39.15 psi Q: What is the Injector Pulse Width Voltage Adjustment? They called this "Injector Offset" V - ms 6 - 4.986 ms 8 - 2.098 10 - 1.321 11 - 1.095 12 - .919 13 - .786 14 - .670 15 - .575

Eventually you will get to know who lives where. We are all like family over here. Friendly, helpful, and open, to suggestions. Now beat it!! J/K. Welcome. This is primarily a technical info site. Social activity is a distant second place. There is an events section here, and you can find local Z clubs/sites for the social aspects. Technical info has or needs no geographical boundries. Keeping it under one roof assures, equal visibility to all members. I am sure the admins have their explantion, but that's MHO. Dave, East BuckSnort, TN

When I was in Italy a few years ago, we were on the AutoStrada on the way home from the beach at night, and we were cruising around 140kph, in the right lane of course, and all of a sudden, the car shook as we heard a loud zip. A motorcycle went by us relatively, as fast as that Vette. Nice when you can trust slower traffic to stay right huh? BTW, you need fuel.

Nice, Thanks!

Mine is operating great.

You just might have enough room to slip some sections of tube up through the access holes. Cut the top of the tubes at an angle to match the back of the flange. Then stand it up on the tube and press the stud right down into the tube. Also, things tend to press pretty softly into aluminum, so it might take less force than you think to push the studs out.

Definitely support it right around the stud head when you are pressing. Assuming the back side of the stud flange is flat, use a steel plate with a notch in it on the press deck. I would also heat the hub a little bit with a hair dryer, or heat gun on low or medium heat. I attached a render of the plate I would use. Slip it in between the flanges and line the stud with the notch.

I always balanced by ear and had good success. Hold a length of hose to your ear and hold the other end in the venturi. Make the hiss sound the same in all the carbs by adjusting the screws in the linkage. Set the idle. Set the idle mix. Set the idle again. Repeat a few times.

My cell phone has all that stuff in it. So technically, my Z is PIMPED OUT when I velcro the phone to the dash!

Ooooh Shiny! Polished Aluminun! Webers! 12 Cylinders! Vrooom Vrooom! I want one.

The steering had some play in it which I used as a negotiating point. I knew what it was all along. The steering wheel nut was way loose, and the wheel was even rocking around.

Yes, I was going to say. Now the real challenge is to stay away from there.

LOL. Thanks!

OK then I'll yell at giorgio61 for bringing it back a month too late. It's not one of those things I even thought about doing until I saw this thread tonight. I suppose it's not a bad idea to clean the rear end after 30 or so years. I've been married so long, I don't even look for dates anymore!

Yup the update fixed the port and crashing problems. I like it. Very pretty dashboards!

Nice Austin, you should have posted this about a month ago while my tail lights were out! Now they are back in and apparently, dirty as heck. Big difference in the before and after.

Stepped out onto the front porch and saw my security gaurd sleeping on the job, laying face down in his own puke. I'm not sure if I am going to fire him or not. The winds were gusting to around 45mph, so maybe he wasn't drunk. I think the bamboo treatment will make him think twice next time~!

Let's not talk about rodents in a Z....been there done that. Uggghhh, what a disaster.

Good thing it didn't lose control. Those trees looked hungry!

Mark, I am sure you have seen the chassis dimensioning chart in the factory service manuals. Are you asking how to measure, and what tools to use? The chart references all the measurable points on the body, like holes, strut tower centers, T/C bucket locations...etc. I think most of it can be measure with a string or tape. Some of the measurements are tough unless the chassis is bare. Got deep pockets? Here is the ultimate tool. http://www.creaform3d.com/lp/handyprobe/quote-video.aspx?gclid=CIyszemQq50CFZho5QodJmXIjw I attached the 76Z body section from the FSM as an example. It is tough to read unless you have the original manual. BF.zip

Same deal with TV. Ever watch TV lately...in particular the "news" or whatever it is they call it? Same glitzy crap. You have at least three tickers, two frames, a few logos, and there is always a "Special Report" or "Breaking News". "Situations" fly across the screen with a whoosh sound effect that would knock grandma out of her rocker. I am not even going to get into the volume level change from feature, to commercials. They realized that this generation has finally achieved "zombi-ness" and that it needs to be shaken, stirred, and whooshed, every two or three seconds. Enough to make it get off it's a$$ and go out and buy something. Shiny is king!

Sure. If you had an amp and speakers already in the car.

We have had our first for three years this coming January. Everything else, no matter what, comes second, third, fourth.....and so on. We decided to have one, fairly late in our lives, so we are planning to have only this guy. He will get the best we can dish out, and I am sure you will do the same. Even Hormones? My wife was on strict bed rest for over 5 months in major discomfort. I had to go to work, cook, groceries, maintain the house, cars, and housekeeping, cater to her, and still keep a positive attitude. I thought it was hard work, until the baby came along. Then I had to continue catering to her for a few months, AND take care of the baby. Neither of us have families that could really help much. Three years later, and it's all good and it was worth every drop of sweat. Get some sleep while you still can. Congrats!!

Sounds to me like you need to park the car for a while under a good car cover. Put it away for about 5-10 months, settle into your new job, house....lifestyle. Shift your personal gears, then come back and reevaluate.
