    The thing here is that "revving better" is hard to quantify...
  2. Good luck! 2+2 and automatic are not a popular combo but the interior is in great shape.
  3. Sure thing Mike. Now post one of your own! Stephen, I'll second getting the e-tubes, naturally!
  4. No worries, car looks good! Are you still planning on selling or will you be keeping it? Not following you here. A cam cannot be 180* out. If a piston is at TDC, the cam will determine whether it's on the compression stroke or exhaust stroke. It's up to the distributor to spark the correct cylinder at the right time. If the cam is "180* out" (exhaust stroke instead of compression) then all that needs to be done is to move the plug wires 3 spots over. The spark will then be phased correctly to the cam.
  5. Couldn't agree more... I made sure to stomp the throttle every time I went WOT:
  6. Glad you got it done! FWIW, you can't really install a cam 180deg out. It was your spark timing that was 180deg out (distributor), but you corrected it by phasing the cam. Either method works but I think turning the distributor (or rearranging the plug wires) is the easier route to take.
  7. If the master was truly dead, the pedal would slowly drop to the floor...
  8. I suppose they could be. However, all signs point to the vendor being Pierce Manifolds. The Manifold is definitely not a "clone" of the Cannon, but a TWM (who I believe is owned by Borla now). Considering Pierce supplies these manifolds, that's one clue. The other is the location being Gilroy, CA and the fact that they're selling so many Weber products... Best bet would be contacting the seller and asking what's up, as that's a good price.
  9. I don't remember exactly what Keith said regarding these, but I do remember them not being very tight. I think they get locked in when you screw them in. Why not send Keith an email? Do not over-tighten them.
  10. Follow me here, Tom. Step 1: Toss DGVs into nearest garbage can. Step 2: Install triples.
  11. Thanks Julio. Great work!

    Saw a sweet silver 240Z with twin exhaust tips driving on 101S in the North Bay last Friday (or maybe it was Saturday)!
  13. The interior is in awesome shape, Julio! Are the plastic panels and diamond-pattern vinyl new?

    Nice job Yoshi, you'll have to bring your Z by my place sometime!
  15. Sounds like you want a set of OER triples.
  16. LeonV posted a post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    Nice! Now we need some photo evidence.
  17. LeonV posted a post in a topic in United States
    Sounds awesome!
  18. Putting anti-seize on the threads will definitely "affect torque" in that even though your torque wrench will read the same, bolt tension will surely be different. Torquing lubed bolts to dry spec will lead to over-tensioning of the fastener. Whether that makes a difference or not depends on if that over-tensioning yielded the fastener.
  19. Looks amazing, love the color combo! And what local car event would that be, if you don't mind me asking?
  20. LeonV posted a post in a topic in Open Discussions
    Congratulations! Sounds like fun.
  21. My first check would be fuel filters.
  22. Nice, ITBs are a dream of mine as well. However, in the meantime... somehow I've wound up with three complete sets of triple Webers...
