The State of Things....
I was gonna get one of those Ricers Suck Decals jus for that same reason ! You know, the ones with the bowl of rice with chopsticks in it cirlced and a slash through it I like Thrush as my muffler of choice cause I always liked Woodywood Pecker, then ANSA came along :classic: So now I have 2 favorite muffle companies! I chose to represent Thrush on my valve cover and now that I have a neat ANSA collection I'll put a nonpermanent removable vinyl sticker on my fender panels mounted dead center for all to know Future plans call now for a Dynamic Duo team up! A Thrush straight through (glasspackish type?) (premuffler?) near trans tunnel and a ANSA Marmitte exhaust resonnator and tip inplace of stock muffler. I think the sound should be very unique, I want LOUD ~and~ DEEP ! So your taking the trip huh? You've been planing that trip for awhile, any chance you'll stop by White Castles on the way or other places?

The State of Things....
Yeap, I got a NOS set from REDDAT on ebay. He's a cool cat with good NOS stuff. I wanted to make sure I had them all when I put to Manifolds back on. I got the 4 BIG Intake bolts but one of the exhaust studs fell down the engine bay, hit the ground, then shoot off to the other side of car near the gutter. I still have yet to find it http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240z-280z-280zx-Exhaust-Manifold-Hardware-NOS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33692QQihZ012QQitemZ220180233349QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW It works GREAT :classic: one of the selling features is it keeps condensation out of your combustion chamber I did it myslef and used the MAN UP KIT. It comes with such things as Chest Hair, Guns (Muscles), Stamina, Confidence you know, manly things like that TIP~ use your manifold studs and hose clamps to plug up your fuel filter hose so it won't keep bleeding. Also plug up that other hose too which bleeds gasoline, I think it's that giant black canistor thing, I jus know it I kept smelling gas, found the hose then pluged it

I think the Cal Cuss would look cool if could get them to lay straight, especially the one on the far side. It just sticks out WAYYY Beyond the valve cover :tapemouth Other than that it match my oil cap bling :laugh: I'll have to take time to read that tread entirely but "THATS AN INTAKE ! ! ":classic:

Winter Car..?
Everthing is about style out here, but the only thing you get out of a H3 is gas prices :dead:... ....and a target for Tree Huggers. Besides, the real Hummers don't have body armor anyway, so what does that prove? It proves that it's WEAK ! ~Z~

Whats this part?
For future refernece here is bolt (without rubber hose) installed. This one is the Towyard part, I'm keeping the old one just incase I need it for some reason :tapemouth . Anti sieze is a must so as not to strip the threads in the Thermostat Housing Block when removing in the future. ~Z~

I need an answer in the next 40 minutes! HELP
Thyanx YO ! I jus ordered the EGR Tube from MSA for 72 bucks so we'll see how it goes. It'll take 7 days to get to MSA then they'll mail it to me, so I should get it in about a week and a half. Any tips for installation BTW? FYI if you want to order new windshield wiper blades, for a '77 at least, you'll have to buy the bracket which comes with the blade aswell at 17 Duckets :rambo: Not bad but the wiper blades by themselves alone are NLA supossedly. ~Z~

I need an answer in the next 40 minutes! HELP
OUCH ! :surprised :dead: Should I get one from the Tow Yard or should go with a new one? I used PB Blaster for 2 days straight befor trying to turn it, does that count? All the bolts were turning but seemed to be spinning in place and not moving either up or down which really confused me Couldn't even turn 'em by hand with that much so thats where tapping (OK More like banging at times) with the hammer came in. Had I known how frail the tube was I would've Manned UP and used as much penetrating fluid as possible till I could turn it by hand. Speaking of which what are Flare Wrenches and where can I find some cause those Vice Grips put Alligator Teeth Marks on those bolts?

Sound a bit high to me but who knows. You can do it yourself but if you crack the EGR Tube taking off the manifolds thats a 75 dollor part and at least a weeks wait getting the part before the seller can send it to you after that. It's not so much as the $18 part he wants to replace as it is the labor doing it. Plus taking off the EGR Tube I have found to be a pain. The bolts still want come off so the manilds are going to a machine shop so they can do it with thier tools. I tried vice grips, hammers and everything. If not for the Tube though you could take the Manifolds off then put it all back together in an hour, but just make sure he orders the right gasket or you could end up with what I had like this. http://classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28356&highlight=solid+blocked ~Z~

Mystery Steering Wheel
You very welcome ! I was glad to see others have em too. I cought that one on Ebay and was outbid but I found the site. It's called the Mark4 GT and comes in both Silver and Black! They're alot better than some of the other offerings for our cars like Nardi which all seem the same I like em all including the wood rim versions like Blakes. Theres something about woodgrain that when it works, it works ~Z~
