Who did the polishing for you?? I tried to get mine to shine like that but ran out of energy before I was that far. - Jeff

Some turbo cars NEED the restriction produced by the cat - did you notice a performance decreece after the cat was gutted? A good turbo Header and properly flowing exhaust is a must for good acceleration. When I put 2-1/2" pipe on my 240Z I lost all my low end power but gained top end ( it would do 143 mph) I reduced the exhaust size to 1-7/8" I got all my low end back - So there is such thing as "to large" on an exhaust pipe. - Jeff

Thats not cardboard - its factory applied tar - it should be on the floor of the whole trunk area also -- along with under the front carpet. - if it peels off easy its probably because rust has started under it. - Jeff

I know i would like to have it! - Jeff

The bottom fell out of my jacuzzi about 5 years ago - that was a pain in the arse to fix. So be glad you have a jacuzzi !! - Jeff

How many miles are on your engine? Are there any aftermarket performance parts on your engine? When was the air filter changed last? Plugs changed last? What octaine of gas do you use? Is your auto trans fluid full? Is your turbo waste-gate fully opening? - Jeff

Put the #1 pistion at TDC and remove the distributor - the drive tab should be at about a 5 deg. angle,(up to your right), to the mounting bolt holes.If not then remove and replace the oil pump as nessasarry to get it there. Once you have that on and the distributor replaced - line up the static timing marks on the distributor base plate. The engine should start in this position. - Jeff

OK- here we go from memory. With the front engine cover/cam gear/chain all removed. turn the crank manualy untill the #1 piston is at tdc of compression stroke - you will know that it IS the comp. stroke if the timing marks on the crank pully are at about 10 - 11 o'clock position, and the timing "dot" on the crank gear is on the drivers side. Turn the cam manualy untill both valves have just closed on the #1 cyl. then put the cam gear on - lining the dowel with dowel hole #1. look thru the cast hole in the gear to align the notch in the gear hub with the 'dash' mark on the cam keeper - rotate the cam untill they align perfictly. both valves of #1 should have remained closed the whole time - as only a short distance of rotation was req'd. Remove the cam gear. Install the chain on the crank gear - align the bright link with the 'dot' on the gear. NOTE: there are 2 bright links (22 links apart on the short side) they both need to be on the drivers side of cam/crank. Reinstall the cam gear with the chain and chain tentioner in place. the bright link on the cam end of the chain should be aligned with position 1 on the cam gear. Install the front cover carefully - do not damage any gaskets. Check / Referance your manual for clarification along the way. - Jeff

another 4-5 years i may leave the Doc's office with the same types of smiles. - Jeff

2manyz Are you about 40 years old?? - Jeff

tanny - You got it right - but i think it penitrates better than KY ...OH i mean WD40. - Jeff

Dip the whole car in the liquid wrench!!! HaHaHa! - Jeff

Wipe the grease off and spray it with liquid wrench. Work the door through its stroke a couple dozen times - spray it again - work it some more. If your arm did not fall off yet spray it one more time and go to bed - work the hinge some more tomarrow. If that does not loosen the tightness then replace the hinges. - Jeff

The problem was stuck rings!! A fresh hone - New rings. Compression is 182 - 185 psi across all 6!! Fired up on first stroke! I'm a happy man. Thanks for the help and suggestions guys!:classic:

You can put whatever dist. you want in whatever block you want from '70 - '78 - i'm not sure about any of them after '78. - Jeff

Try spraying the whole hinge area with liquid wrench - if that helps - then spray it with white lithium grease 1 week after the liquid wrench. - Jeff

Beandip - exelent thoughts!! - Jeff

The little chain steering wheels are so you can drive handcuffed! The low riders are so you can cruse and pick beans at the same time!! - Jeff

Adding new over the old is fine in my opinion - Jeff

Yah - What he said ! My blinker flasher unit piece thingy ma'dodad is on the drivers side near the steering colum. ('72 240Z) It is a round can, Maybe a little larger than my thumb. (I think my thumb is average) and about as long..... - Jeff

That's nice,That's nice. Can I pull up to the front door of the church in the morning? - Jeff

Maybe that's "Pimple-Mobile" !! - Jeff

You could check in Hemming's Motor News for a Bone Yard in the southwest. H.M.N is all ads for parts and cars. I have had great parts come to Michigan from there. - Jeff
