Squirrel alert!
I'll bet squirrels are pretty tasty. They eat well, acorns, nuts and stuff, and seem pretty healthy. Here in the PNW we really need to start eating sea lions. There's plenty around now.

Squirrel alert!
Mr. Unseen, your pellet gun is needed. @siteunseen https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/08/squirrel-attacks-nyc-neighborhood-fear “Suddenly the squirrel ran up my leg and I thought ‘it’s a small rodent, how bad could this be’, so I stood completely still and they next thing I knew the blood started to fly. It was a wrestling match that got very bloody very quickly,” Frederick said.

electrical drain?
Not normal. Could be a weak battery or alternator or both. Best thing to do is take some measurements.

Tensioner sounds
That fan clutch looks fine. Loose when cold, tightens up when it gets hot.

Look at these two guys. They have no idea why they're there. It's just a vandal party. Probably father and son.

COVID-19
There seems to be a bigger problem with just knowing why people believe what they believe. The woman that got killed was a military veteran and worked in security. What was she doing rushing the Capitol building? What was she supporting? https://www.kusi.com/kusi-news-confirms-identity-of-woman-shot-and-killed-inside-us-capitol/ The woman is Ashli Babbit, a 14-year veteran, who served four tours with the US Air Force, and was a high level security official throughout her time in service. Her husband says she was a strong supporter of President Trump, and was a great patriot to all who knew her.

No Spark issue. Negative voltage on ignition switch.
Put a hose in the top and see how fast it drains out the bottom. That will be a clue. It should flow a lot of water through the cooling channels. There are still radiator shops out there that can boil them out and pressure check them if it's slow. I messed around with my bad radiator for a couple of years. The $120 I spent on the Murray cheapo was well worth it.

I bought one of these but it looks like the price has gone up by about 100. Spendy. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/murray-heat-transfer-4283/cooling---heating-16773/radiator-20386/radiator-11357/02ac48565f9e/murray-heat-transfer-radiator/433634/4459519/1976/nissan/280z?q=radiator&pos=0

fuel pressure regulator location
I think that you just need to know how the regulator works. The mechanism of pressure control. You can use a bypass regulator with three ports and make it do whatever you want, deadhead or bypass the carbs. That's how Aeromotive does theirs. I don't really understand how the Figure 1 regulator does its thing. I'll have to dig in to it. I do know though the pump will put out maximum pressure in that type of system, so if you have a high flow/high pressure pump in a Figure 1 setting, it's going to be working hard but pushing nowhere. Probably the noisiest possible configuration. I think these things are why the car manufacturers control the pump power with the ECU now. They lower voltage at low need, and raise it at high. Flow control.

Somebody died there today, from a bullet, but there's not much reporting about it. I've only seen that "she was among the protesters".

My internet connection went down for a couple of minutes while this was going on. I started to wonder if there might really be a coordinated effort. Who knows. But, It's back.

That's getting deep Mark. Some of it is just "look at me", the internet generation also, I think. Just a giant Instagram party.

COVID-19
Big picture-wise, probably best that this happens now. So people understand what's possible and prepare for it next time. The news shows keep it calling it a coup attempt, but that implies a plan for after the takeover. It's really just a bunch of people looking for somewhere to tear things up, no plan. A big flag-waving party. They're in, what do they do now?
