  1. Front carb. #19 is what I'm talking about. Tighten it all the way up, then go counter clockwise 2.5 turns for a general setting. There's TONs of stuff on here about these carburetor. I think it may have it's own sub-forum? It does, http://www.classiczcars.com/forum/71-carburetor-central/ Whoops, I see your in the forum now.
  2. Nice sunday ride for a photoshoot .
  3. The answer lies in the type of socket and the colors of the wires running to it. Type 1157 sockets have three wires. Type 1156 sockets have two wires. On the left side of the car, if you see a green wire with a red stripe going to the socket, it will flash. On the right side of the car, if you see a green wire with a black stripe going to the socket, it will flash. On either side, if it's an 1156 socket with a green wire wire with a white stripe, it should not flash.
  4. I was generalizing on why not to shave a ohc head. A warped head is not good, but shaving it to get a flat surface is only going to solve one problem and create another. If Bob would use the head as it is now it shouldn't be a problem for the cam. The headgasket between 3 and 4 might be a possible issue, but you could compensate by overtorqueing the center group of head bolts. Bob's head in not that bad. I have heard 0.15 is ok to use on a six cylinder. The opel head I mentioned was a lot worse, somewhere around 0.3mm might have been more, but it 4 years ago. The point I was trying to make is: Shaving an ohc cylinder head should not be done to correct warpage. It needs to be straightened first. Some machine shop don't realise the difference between an ohv en ohc heads.
  5. When I sold my 83 RX7 the transport driver made me drive it up 2nd level trailer . It was little scary then the walk off was more scary.
  6. Many years ago, as a teenager, I had a Z with a pristine dash. One day, the clock stopped working and I decided to give the top center guage pod a good slap to hopefully get it ticking again. I think you all can figure out the rest
  7. Finally the car arrived in Oslo, picked it up and had her washed and cleaned after it`s long journey. Thanks again Arne, the car is very nice ;-) As you see from the pictures, driving condicions for a 240Z is not ideal, guess i have to wait another 2-3 month until i can take it for a ride. Here`s the car washed up and ready for winterstorage.
