  1. I have that on both my 225mm flywheels. I really like mine too. The first one I installed the throw out bearing myself, it makes a spinning noise when the clutch is released in neutral. Nothing bad just an annoyance to me knowing it's there. The second one I had pressed on by my machinist. Absolutely quiet in neutral. Good clutch kit with everything you'll need. I highly recommend for a street car. I bought mine at amazon .com for $100 and free shipping. Cheers...
  2. Sounds like you are running out of fuel? Does it have the flat top carbs? We have some flat top guys on here, @Captain Obvious @Zup
  3. Some good reading... https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ei=O2HXW6iCK6Sk_Qb-u7LQBA&q=92+mm+throwout+collar+classiczcars.com&oq=92+mm+throwout+collar+classiczcars.com&gs_l=psy-ab.3...13270.13270..14501...0.0..0.71.71.1......0....1..gws-wiz.2H4un9uboWI
  4. As said above, I believe I'd try a smaller fuel tank feeding the pump first off. You'll be eliminating most of your list.
  5. I thought about a needle and thread.
  6. That's exactly how I have my FPR. One day I'll Dremel that extra mounting ear off and try and make it look a little better. Did you run a hose to the cold start vale? I ran a T off the rear, one side to the FPR the other to the CSV.
  7. Has anyone come up with a simple fix to keep the lap and shoulder belts connected? I have a helluva time with mine, annoying way to start off a drive. I thought about a thick small rubber washer like for faucet repair. Drill the hole out just big enough to squeeze over the little mushroom looking button on the latch. It has a off white washer now but it isn't thick enough to keep those two pieces together. Any ideas would be appreciated.
  8. I want one! As my eyesight gets a little fuzzier everyday. ?
  9. Mine's a 69612 Bosch. Beck Arnley started making them for our cars after Bosch. Not sure who now.
  10. I think I'd put the gauge on the input hose to the filter. You could have a semi clogged fuel filter? I bought one of the last available Bosch pumps in 2011 for over $250. zcardept.com has one for $280... https://www.ebay.com/i/323507625205?chn=ps
  11. Trouble Shooting If you suffer from a fast idle after the car is warmed up, simply use pliers or vise grips to pinch off the hose between the throttle body and AAR. If the idle rpm decreases then the AAR is not closing. NOTE: Vacuum leaks, a faulty BCCD valve, stuck accelerator linkage, weak throttle body return spring or gummed open throttle body flap can also cause a fast idle.
  12. Egg on my face! I thought Missouri was way far away but it's not. Maybe I can schedule that vacation and see Dolly Parton's... And go for a Missouri Boat Ride.
  13. From all I've read the thermotine is what you say, only for start up. The connector was broken off mine and I drove the car for a few months fine. I found a Z at a local junkyard and put it on but couldn't tell any difference. I've read some people don't have theirs plugged up at all. You can't find them anymore. When you loosen the oil cap does it stumble, die down on the RPMs? That's an easy way to tell if you might have a vacuum leak. If it doesn't change the idle you may have a bad vacuum hose somewhere. That accordion boot up front is bad to crack and leak causing higher idle. If it gets air before the throttle blade it's higher idle, after it would be low and lumpy, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT! I've forgotten a lot about the EFI car. Also cleaning the rotor button and distributor cap will help, replacing them even better. Good luck. Drum roll for Zed Head. He's very helpful.
  14. Welcome to the forum. I'd say first to make sure the thermotine and the coolant sensor plugs aren't crossed with each other. The coolant sensor comes off into two wires as seen below. Second guess would be the AAR needs cleaning or maybe check to make sure ut opens and closes with heat. Drop it in some boiling water and make sure it closes. It opens up when cold allowing more air in to raise the idle. Yours seems right the opposite though? Anyway there'll be 20 replies before the end of the day, you'll get an answer. Here's a good write up on the AAR... Thanks @240260280 http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/aar/index.html
  15. Someone that evaded being photographed but I see her! Ms Maras...
  16. Thank you! I need that style. Much brighter than mine.
  17. It was nice meeting you and Cody too Mr Patcon. I'm glad everyone had fun and safe travel here and back. Atlanta's Hartsfield is mine now. Thanks Maras, I needed that.
  18. I can't even get mine to come on! It's the sticky door jamb button I think. I'll get a pic soon. Meantime mine looks more like Mr Wilkes than 7tooZ's. What bulb did you use @7tooZ? I have the 4 small panels on mine. The light fixture lens is so frosted I can hardly see without my map light on. That's the one I use mostly. Edit: duh! I use the map light 'cause the dome won't come on. Like my dome.
  19. On my '72 that cable pulls the valve open for heat. Pushed all the way to the firewall is closed, no heat. And if I remember right that cable that disappears pulls open a metal flap that is between the fan and the condenser.
  20. Yes those on the rear bumper mounts were for shipping from Japan. The dealers were supposed to remove them but most didn't from all I've read. They're easy to take off if you decide to, a lot of the original cars I've seen still have them in place. I've taken mine off just to make sure know one ever hooks something to one, I think it would pull the whole bumper off. I strapped the rear down around the A spindles with those nylon ratchet straps. Mostly just to keep it from bouncing. Good luck and have fun.
  21. Yep! I'm the one wearing the UPS uniform. I delivered 2 packages to the track. Captain Obvious was our photographer, he got a hug.
  22. I drove over Friday to spend the day with our gang at Road Atlanta and have my picture taken with Guy. Great group of people, some new faces and some I'd already had the pleasure of meeting in Memphis. Thank you all for a fantastic day. Cliff
  23. We'll be there Friday around lunch. I laughed when I got the invite to the pool party a few minutes ago, now I know why. See all you guys tomorrow.
  24. Sounds naughty. Mind is in the gutter, I 'pologize.
