  1. What he said ^^^^
  2. Checking plugs after revving is useless! Check them after being driven like suggested Adding turns is just gonna put more fuel down the exhaust for more popping. Get a wideband sensor!!!!
  3. Glass beads work great. You may know this but for those who don't glass beads can be dangerous too. Use a cabinet or a respirator to prevent silicosis. Once heavy particles get into the lungs they generally don't come out. Drowning in your own juices doesn't sound like fun...

    Yeah, I was looking at the radar. Looks like the house is gonna take a good soaking in a day or so. We may get some thunderstorms here but will mostly miss us. If it rains though it will be stupid humid and hot tomorrow...

    Zup's ultra clean 73' Again... Complete with beautifully detailed "boat anchors" High above Lake Travis at the Oasis. We ate lunch at this little quiet spot... and of course SWBO... by the way the house on the left of the frame shows on zillow at $6,000,000 if you have some spare change...
  6. At the car show today These were in the parking lot... The pretty copper car has an RB26 turbo in it. Very clean install... Bruce made it! I think he got coerced into it, but he's here... Talking to some of the guys

    Prayers sent
  8. I would say that car is trading in the range we have been seeing lately. I agree that would have been over priced several years ago but not so much now. Always buy a car with the least amount of rust. Everything else is secondary to that...
  9. It was a pretty day but hot. Gonna be really hot on Friday
  10. Thanks Jim That's a start in the right direction
  11. It is a fairly easy conversion...pedal set, tranny, slave cylinder, some hoses and some interior trim pieces
  12. @Jaymanbikes The cut out in Dave's door looks larger than yours. Look at how close the bell crank is to the door opening versus yours...
  13. Thanks
  14. Are you sure it's for a Z? Could it be for a 510?
  15. Looks great and no spaces for water intrusion
  16. Yeah! Let it fly... Would love the cowl screws... If I can't source the correct fastener a good picture would be the next best thing. I don't even know what they look like...The biggest thing for grill bolts is there is no length listed. I assume they are clear zinc and not yellow... Are you selling the hood trim? Ours is damaged but usable...
  17. I think it looks great!
  18. But what was the cause? I wouldn't think there was any water in there, so water intrusion at a light?
  19. I am looking for the fasteners for this section of the car http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/bluebird-1968-1973/body-(sedan)/front-outside #1 The little screws for the hood trim, can't find a part number for that #2 Fender molding screws - need 8 of each 08915-43710 - washer - discontinued 08510-70812 - screw - discontinued #3 Headlight finisher screws - need 8 of each 08530-41620 - screw - available 08964-10440 - spring nut - discontinued #4 Grill fasteners - need 4 of each 08360-61610 M6x1.0 bolt/screw - available 08915-4361A washer - available #5 The little philips screws for the wiper /cowl panel - need 5 If I could find someone that had all of that, great. That would be easier than sourcing from multiple places. I assume the fender molding screws could be stainless but likely clear zinc Thanks for the help C
  20. I have been in the South my whole life and work out in the heat but I prefer a little bit of cold air when possible. Converting refrigerant is not an issue and the really valuable part of the system to me is the interior portion that piggy backs so well...
  21. Yeah, that's what I figured. I contacted a couple of booster rebuilders to see if I could source the parts through them but there is really no money in it for them so the interest wasn't there. When I had a booster apart there was a part number on the large rubber diaphragm. I found that by googling but nothing in reasonable quantities. The real solution is to make these in small runs or find a rebuilder who has a source for ordering these parts...

    Any updates?
  23. We're in Fredericksburg TX now, 700 miles yesterday and 500 hundred today. At the Mississippi river yesterday evening...
