auxilary Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 I would've gone, but I fear someone dicked around with my Z's gas tank, so I need to drain it and flush it and get a locking gas cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Juday Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Sorry I missed it guys. Spent all day chopping down poplar trees. By the time evening came all I wanted to do was plop on the couch. Next time for sure. Hey Jon, drop me an e-mail and we'll arrange to get that seat to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Juday Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 "Woodlaid"? Alex, do you mean wood inlaid? Oh, wait, this is another one of your clever double entendres, isn't it? Those Ruskies, sooo... sophisticated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 It was nice to see the local yokals! JoeinCA thanks for the insurance pics. By the way, I may have jumped the gun, but I found a 240 with an intact rear, got both of the tail lights and the surrounds. The lenses are better than the originals but the chrome strips are bad (oh well paint again). Donna you know what I like! I think a track day (Sat night at Sac?) would be cool OH SHOOT! Dan I keep forgetting about that dang seat. The past week was a busy one that took me to Custom Alignment in Mountain View (they are pros...good news is the chassis is arrow straight, important to me since I questioned repair work done by a previous owner, and my camber/toe/caster etc is set), had my exhaust redone by a pro, got new fuel pump and added a fuel-return style regulator so I needed a 3/8 fuel return line (major pain, note to self, install a driveshaft loop), moved the fuel filter to the rear, and made some more strut braces ... but the car is better for it! I should pay you for storage! Sorry, I'll email you, again. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gprix1 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Hey Jon, I want to run a return style regulator on my carburated (reworked Holley 750 DP) Z. I haven't really made a serious effort to find the correct regulator but what I have seen so far has been for fuel injection applications only and the ones made for carb's have always been the non-return type. What regulator did you go with? - Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Rick, I got a Mallory "Three Port" regulator ($70.00). It is for a 3--50 psi range. I think the "Two Port is the same (return-style) but I got the "three" so I could hook-up a pressure gauge. I think Summit carries them too. I'm unsure of the quality but so far it's working fine. It has a vacuum port so you can have the fuel pressure increase with boost/vacuum demand. I didn't hook that up on mine but it's an option to consider. Otherwise any return regulator that'll let you get the pressure down to carb spec would work. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gprix1 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Thanks Jon, I hope to see you at the next meet. I have a SubtleZ cowl hood which has openings for vents ('77-'78 style??) and I really want to take a closer look at how you made those louvers for your hood. - Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
