    Jai Sort of lives in the country. Not much close and what is close is fairly small. I suspect there won't be a lot of options... Jai, Ask your painter or some other car guy you trust for a recommendation if you don't already know who to take it to.
  2. the cowl vent use to mount to original heating unit and fresh air vent. Zed is right in his description. The beautiful shape these cars have tend to force air in from the rear of the car. Even if the windows are down. You will need to remove the interior panels at the rear and check all the places that hoses go through the body as well as the seals around the tail lights. also the hatch seals need to be good and it needs to latch properly...Seal them up either with the proper seals or some silicone based sealant

    Thanks for the help Steve. I will start from there...

    Cliff, Thanks for the article, but 510's don't have a combo switch. They have a pull switch on the dash and relay (who knows where). There also must be power through the turn signal switch because I believe that controls high beams...

    I am hoping my scan is legible enough. This is the factory manual... I can probably enlarge parts if I need to. We are trying to get the light's working on Cody's wagon. Most of the running lights seem to work and the turns supposedly work per Cody but I haven't checked behind him yet. The problem is the headlights. He said they worked once and then not again. I have done some testing with a meter and both sides of the high beam lamp have battery voltage, that doesn't seem correct. I would think one would be power in and one would be ground. How can I have voltage on both sides?
  6. That is a slick way to make a high pressure EFI tank. Now if you make an access hole in the rear floor board pump changes would be really easy...

    Also I believe the EGR line connects on the bottom of the manifold. They can rot out if I remember correctly so the vacuum leak could be there. Use a mirror to look around under the rear of the intake manifold
  8. That's great!

    Good stuff!

    Also on some cars it is a bad idea to disconnect the battery while the car is running. That alone can damage the alternator...

    I installed a holley four barrel on my boat. It has an external adjustment for the float level with a locking ring. Not really sure how it works but is really nice... On an SU, It would just about have to lower or raise the fuel inlet. That seems like a lot of engineering... Or maybe add a pivot point and bar and the adjustment screw moves the pivot point instead...
  12. Yeah, I hope Mike's ok...
  13. Sounds like a bargain. I was just shopping on ebay and craigslist. I don't think that sounds out of line. The unrusted part is a huge value!
  14. Well done Jim!!!! Looks like a good time...

    I was under the impression the layout was pretty similar
  16. Patcon posted a post in a topic in Build Threads
    the 75 280z tank is very similar unless your a purist...
  17. Patcon posted a post in a topic in Help Me !!
    Correct!

    For a restomod, I really like the body work

    66 Tbird convertible. Pretty much gone... I will try to post up a picture of the mutts soon

    There is a lady that makes lots of decals for rc modelers. she advertises on some of the websites. If they are not available she can make them. If you decide to go that route let me know and I will try to get some contact info for you...

    Jim is right there is not lip on the 280z gas filler area. you could add a little bracket with screws to catch the lock...

    Actually if I'm reading their price list correctly the air dam is $800. As for doing it yourself. It's really pretty easy. If you can do paper mache then you could splice an FRP airdam with a little patience
  23. They look like 20 ton rated. I would call them railroad jacks but they would be used by me for house leveling. Really strong and really safe and simple...

    Do you want a keyed lock in the gas door or a hand twist lock?

    Looks spotless inside!
