Amen!!!!

So you used my numbers but your not close to neutral? I have to swing it a little but not much...the car your spinning is an early car, correct?

Oh! your bad!!!! Elephant ears my Lily white a$$!!!

That I didn't know. If you smell "fresh cut hay" while welding, that is probably Phosgene!

A nice pretty fresh zinc'd cap is pretty though! Now to get a nice zinc'd lock ring and screws...

I was not trying to mess with you Jalex, it's been I while since I have removed one and I know the clearances are tight. There is a way to do it with out damaging the paint. Is that being done with tools or the bolts in the cover? If I remember right you need to remove the bolts from the cover before you try to remove the cover. Padding the tower with a towel will help too.

I might agree on this too. I guess there are a lot of unknowns here. I know you can buy "Goof Off" by the gallon. Was he using gallons of this stuff inside a small area? Gloves? Etc.... I wouldn't be opposed to a nice large warning label on the front of the can stating that vapors harmful or fatal in an enclosed area. Use appropriate safety precautions. Manufacturers would oppose this because of sales concerns, but I don't think the warning is unreasonable. There are lots of hazards like this for DIY car enthusiast. I poisoned my self welding on a newer chevy truck with the fumes from the welder. I felt bad for a week or two. The same can happen when welding on galvanized metal. Fumes from body fillers and professional paint supplies too. Gas fumes, plating chemicals, parts cleaners; the list is long. Be smart everybody!!! Be careful and cautious and be sure to ask questions if you don't know. Especially some of you younger guys with your whole lives ahead of you. You could get injured for life or dead. A tragedy when it can easily be avoided!

Do you have a secondary bolt on the bottom of the distributor mount? Sometimes you can get enough adjustment between the 2 bolts

Ok, so let me get this straight, I have used these exact products for decades, not dead yet! But since someone used them in an enclosed space we need to ban them???? If you use gasoline in an enclosed space that can kill you too. We gonna ban gasoline? How about Nitrogen? If you get in an enclosed space with Nitrogen you will be dead in seconds! Part of the problem is we have tried to make everything so safe that people don't critically analyze risk any more. They just assume if they can buy it, it's safe! They rely on the government to keep them safe. They would be better off to put their faith some place else... It is a shame that these relatively young people are gone, but you can't make everything perfectly safe! The number of people hurt by these kinds of products are infinitesimally small. The stories they sighted are 28 years apart! How about we focus on some things that does kill vast numbers of people, opiods, heroine, DUI, texting while driving, etc. I guess I need to go buy a couple of gallons of airplane stripper in case they change their minds

What is actually causing the scratches on the the shock tower?

Run the flow test out of the FSM! If it fails, then eliminate the throttle points one by one...

I don't know about Jim but I'm cheap!

@zKars Thanks Jim! I need to come see your shop...

Maybe a video would help???

Who cruises at 5,000 rpm's? Pressure and flow are different!!!!! Pressure is not the issue!!!! The water going over Niagara falls has low pressure but lot's of flow... If you are running out of fuel it's a flow issue not pressure!

I would like to source a Datsun 510 fuel rail for dual SU's. Let me know what you've got... Thanks, Charles

That's quick. Should be lots of fun...

Is that a cometics head gasket? Does that first cam journal look rough or that just my eyes?

Good eye ZH!!!

The E88 also looks like it might have been cut. The casting numbers are pretty close to the edge. Some measurements would be in order there too. Also are the cam towers shimmed on that head?

Solve??? You mean start don't you...

I was gonna get a set of "Float Sync" tools but they're sold out. What is the thread size on the float bowls? I am planning on cobbling something up...

That's a pretty well executed convertible

I bet that makes a Miata really fast!

What numbers are you picking? So I can play along...
