Captain Obvious is a Genius!
My thoughts exactly!!! Bruce can cover for you claiming you as his service animal. So we would have twins with a monkey for a chauffeur. That sounds like a great screen play for a movie!

I do not envy you on that taste. They don't appear to be separate pieces of metal anymore... ?

Thanks for that pdf. I saved a copy. We set the head and started retiming the motor, but I just realized I have the wrong face of the the can sprocket out. We will start with that...

That's bad! That's the wrong direction at the moment. I don't want to tackle that right now. I want to get it running before he loses motivation... I am having trouble finding the info for setting the camshaft timing.

Stripped paint doors to see the true condition.
If the metal is stretchedm heat can be used to remove the dent or a shrinking disc

My 1975 280Z heater control valve cable is broken - questions
It shouldn't matter that much. The furthest hole will provide the most leverage and require the shortest lever throw. If it lines up good with the mount I would go with that one. Have you looked on Ebay for a unit to see if you can tell which holes was used?

Petroleum is what the system is based on currently. It was based on horses at one time and coal after that. As technology improves the system will change. Pretty much all of the promising technologies are not advanced enough yet to begin the transition. It takes a tremendous amount of effort and money for the infrastructure to change to a new form. There will also be unintended consequences of a new technology. There always are. There are also a lot of products that are made with petroleum distillates! Even if we didn't use it for fuel you are still going to need petroleum until alternatives are found. I believe stewardship of our environment is important, but unless we are going to live our lives and build our cars totally out of organics, petroleum is here for a while...

The stock red 69 in the one add is a really nice clean car. I always wanted one, I'm just about 5 inches too tall for one...

New Find.70 240Z
For the moment diesels are the best choice for most of the jobs they do. Can you imagine how much gasoline a freight train would burn or a semi, loaded with 40 tons or a combine. Until something better comes along it's what we got...they get cleaner every year Talc causes cancer too but I still use it when I shoot pool. Lot's of products I cut up with a circular saw cause cancer too, and I cut them up and build houses with them because that's what the rules ordained by the government mandate. I prefer not to joist windmills, just trying to get by and provide for my family while I can. Just a little cog in this great big system!
