That's what someone said on here, the gear goes with the differential, 16 tooth with the 180 and 18 for the 200. So now it does and it seems to be right, compared to the other cars on the interstate. Thanks. Just realized the irony of your signature after your accident with the Expedition.

Nothing better than a Grandoggie! My parents like them better than the talking kind. They won't admit that but they sure do like babysitting mine better than my sister's doodoo diaper wearers. The Z barn is stunning!

Beautiful dog!

It's on Blue's tech tips too.

It has to removed to install a rear spoiler. Put a layer of polyethylene on first then put the vinyl cover over that. Mine has screws and push type plastic retainers.

I call them a "wall fish tape". https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=wall fish tape A small sink snake would work too I think. They have some new styled plastic ones that are just a few dollars.

I remember wrecking my dirtbike in the middle of the woods and it catching on fire. I pulled my helmet off and used it to scoop up mud to put out the fire.

I've seen those mousetrap springs put on wrong. Probably no big deal but you should compare images. Agree with Zed, bluing is a problem. The honey colored gold is like varnished oil, untouched build up.

Something I forgot to add that I am curious about after putting the 16 tooth speedometer cog in out of the OE 4 speed in the newly installed wide B 5 speed, at 2,000 rpms it shows 70 mph. Does that seem normal? I've got 15" wheels with the recommended tire size to keep the speedo accurate. Thanks for any experiences.

I was working construction in the mid nineties down in the Florida panhandle. We were driving home on the weekends and one of our guys had a fire in a Chevy van. He said it was just starting to burn really good when a truck driver stopped and put it out. They didn't total it out and he was POed at that trucker.

That's what I was thinking. It pops up a couple of inches and you could spray the top of the motor where the injectors are.

If you look at Blue's Tech Tips on atlantic Zs he has write up dropping and cleaning a tank. Its under EFI & FUEL. He doesn't coat his. The important thing is to neutralize the acid ASAP so you won't get flash rust.

Thank you. That's an easy to do project, mine is accessible in the hatch. From there I can see the light.

When I shorted my 240's it went to FULL. I may try and empty the tank, always need gas for the mower and I'm leery of running my $250 Bosch pump low of fuel.

Maybe he meant TIG wire? You could try the ground wire stripped out a piece of Romex, it's pretty flexible. Guitar string, piano wire...

I've never seen my light come on, maybe it's inop? On the wonderful scale you have made for us where do you think the light should come on? 63 OHMs? I might try and see if i can get it to come on, drive around the gas station's parking lot. And are the lights constant or do they get brighter the lower the level gets? Thank you Captain Obvious.

Ah man it's horrible. My batteries go dead during the months of July and August but that's only 2 months out of 12, not so bad. I read a couple of days ago about some kind of "heat dome" that's formed above the Mid-West and wouldn't you know it my part of Alabama is included.

I walked the soles off my shoes checking between my 240s. That's definitely a plus having two. Do you have a zx distributor on your's? I remember some problems with that black wire. I had to bypass the ceramic block by running a wire from one end straight across to the other I think. It works as covered on Blue's Tech Tips IIRC. Good luck on that small problem.

I'm with you on the heat. Most people put them up in the winter months. Not down here! I drive mine at daybreak for an hour at the most. But after September and until May I wear mine out. 8^)

Looks like you're missing a lot of fuses? Mine is full.

Google those numbers, I don't have a clue.

That light bulb he's talking about is a dome light bulb, the interior light on the roof. I bought one from Advance when I first had problems with my 280's side lights. I took the fuse and found the right length bulb. FYI

I finally took some time and timed my newly rebuilt 2.4. I initially had set the idle timing to 10 degrees and noticed it would flatten out around 5,000 RPM so I knew I had some more tuning to do. So today, a month later, I took some vacuum readings and actually used the $100 dial back timing light I got for Christmas. My results, 17 hgs of ported vacuum at 2,500, off the front carb's vacuum advance hose. Good I think. Set the static/idle to 17 degrees at 800 RPM then ran the dial back function up to 34, it's digital, and set the RPM to 2,500 and shot the pulley. Dead on 0, TDC mark on the pulley. Went for a drive, ran great. A brand new Corvette was out too. I pull up alongside him and we exchange thumbs up, he looks ahead I drop down to 3rd gear and floor it. You know how autos hesitate for a second while they spin up? I pulled ahead of him for that one second then he shot by me like an RPG. He slowed down to get beside me, gave me a salute and a smile as did I for him. Wonderful morning!

Not trying to be a d*** but are you sure the park lights are off when you get that spark? I think one of your side marker sockets has gotten rusty, mine did that. The drain hole in the lense was stopped up.

We'll meet up again someday, I'm sure of it. I just remembered our conversation. You bought a truck to haul the 2.4 back to Canada! After reading a few minutes there was an International Scout and the Nissan Patrol that used the SD33T diesel motors. I also read the 620 PU had a diesel but it's a 4 cylinder.
