  1. Yes they are 002's, and I have no idea about fitment of other wheels, I just know that mine fit... haha
  2. I didnt have any clearance issues with my headers, and I am using the 1 5/8 Primaries. They are probably the best fitting headers I have ever owned.
  3. There is a lot to be said for a woman that puts up with our obsessions. Luckily my wife has been supportive the whole way through all of my Z conversion stuff, and was super thrilled and proud when she finally got to ride in it. Even though she had to sit in the floorboard because the passenger seat was out to do my fuel pump wiring.. haha
  4. I am very suprised to see that people have had all the good luck with the jag/lincoln motors. At the shop I work at, we have seen nothing but trouble out of these things. We just did a 27 hour timing chain R&R on an S type with only 90k on it. About 4 weeks ago we had another S type with only 75k that had popped the head gaskets, and this car was perfectly clean, maint. records etc. And then all of them have the normal coil boot breakdown to cause a lifetime of misfires. So I guess if you are going to use one, go ahead and put Timing chains on it, and follow the service manual instructions very carefully.
  5. Well I have been extremely busy with starting a new job, house projects, side jobs, etc. I tinkered with the Z a few days ago and here is what I found with the time allotted. Hooked up a fuel pressure guage and had the right amount of pressure with good volume. Hooked up a vaccuum guage and found a problem. at idle it was bouncing between 10in down to zero very quickly back and forth, and would hold steady at about 13 or so off idle, which I know is wrong, question is, why? I pulled the valve covers off to check for a hammered cam, but running all the rocker arms seemed to have about the right amount of travel, and I re-adjusted anyways while I had them off. I know this may not be enough info to inquire for help, but I only had about an hour... so.
  6. Seems odd that he doesnt have any pictures of the products.
  7. Good job on finding it buddy, they can be a nightmare sometimes for sure.
  8. Find that search button, use it... build a relationship. It will show you love like you have never seen.. haha
  9. Is the switch on the 240 in the multifunction switch on the column, same as the 280? I should be able to answer this for you.
  10. Nice job man, It can get very annoying searching around the junkyards though.. haha
  11. Update: Car has been running pretty good lately, took it to another car show a few weeks back and everything did fine on the way home. Started the car up to take it to town the next day after work and anything over half throttle it started backfiring out the carb. Thinking it was probably a fire issue because of the old cap and rotor, probably carbon tracking, I put a new cap and rotor on it and checked all my wires. Everything looked good and the old rotor was a little oxidized. Cranked it up and took it down the road...... same thing. So I pulled all the plugs out and they were a little carboned up, so I put a new set in, and ran my valves down again while looking for even lift on the rocker arms while running. Same problem. I haven't had a chance to take it to work because of all the rain and put it on the scope, but it is driving me nuts. So I thought I would post it and see what people think.
  12. You should send me a PM next time you come down here, I always like to meet up with a Z guy.
  13. That is awesome man. Do you still have a Z car? I was taking mine to the shop for some serious Carb issues that I finally got figured out.
