Good looking candidate for simple refresh (71 Z in Greeneville, TN)
Isn't it odd when they don't post interior pictures. That's half the car's value.

O rings from Felpro kit
I've got 2 o rings left over and I'm hoping the small one goes under the oil cap but can't figure out the bigger one. Any ideas? Oh and I'm not using any EGR stuff so could it be part of that? Thanks in advance. It's the Felpro gasket set for '75 to ?

Do Speed Bleeders work?
I try and do my work without bothering other people because I'm weird and hate to be bothered myself. So if these bleeders do what they say it would be great for 1 man work. Any personal expirences? I would appreciate your thoughts.

Gasket sealant?
"Can't do any harm" is wise.

Bad noise comming from valve cover.
Doesn't it suck having to work for Z money? You could make gaskets for a living though, those look really good.

run as is or have removed
So if the bolt is broken at the base wouldn't that allow it to turn or twist slightly? And wouldn't that bind the cam? Or wear out the bearing? I'm just guessing as usual.

New brakes on all corners
They're a lot easier coming off than back on. Ruined a set of pants and about 1/2 tube of grease under my finger nails. Tommorrow I'll be cleaning tools and enjoying cold beverages. Adieu!

Anybody trim bell house for msa header?
My 6 to 1 header is hitting ever so slightly on the bell housing. I want to grind away a 1/8th" or less. Is this common or is something wrong?

Global Economy
I live in Alabama, that says enough. Property tax is $500 a year, car tags average $40 a year, gas is $3.09 today, T-Bone steak $4.99 a lb. on sale pretty much every weekend, Bud light $17.99 a case, don't smoke cigarettes, milk is $2.99 a gallon, $.99 for a Bar B-Q sandwich. 280z $arm and a $leg. But damn it's humid.

Global Economy
A recent study from Environics Analytics WealthScapes examined mean household wealth and found the average Canadian has a higher net worth than the average American: $363,202 compared to $319,970. NBC's Brian Williams reports. This is due largely in part to the practice of Canadian's buying Japanese cars from America and reselling them to Saudi Arabians. Parts of this article have been embellished by the Club member.

Timing #3
I promise that'll be one of my first post after it is running. Just got the clutch in and re-attached the tranny today so the motor's ready to be dropped in. I still need to solder the new connections for the injectors and cold start before i can crank it. Almost put the header on before mounting the transmission. In my crazy way of re-assembling that would have been a huge mistake because I'm doing it on the floor instead of hanging from a hoist. The bellhouse and transmission is a lot heavier than I thought, so glad I learned from you guys to pull both instead of bench pressing that b***h. Not really the floor but a crate Zedyone showed in his thread. It's taking longer than I thought because it's hotter than I thought it would be in HELL!

I wasn't looking in the right place Grant. In a bar of soap is funny. I'm a Redneck and can't find money if it's in a dictionary. But I can find it if it's in my cousins panties.

Where did the hippy joke go? It's not on Funnybone. I think you could hide anything of a hippy's under a bottle of deodorant.

Bad noise comming from valve cover.
There are some common bolts at the front of the pan to the front cover but you shouldn't have to remove the oil pan if you careful with the gasket. Maybe break loose with a putty knife before you pull the cover to keep from tearing it. All #12 bolts have to come out and a few #10s, don't forget the 2 up top at the head. The Fixx have a song I sing when working on mine, "One thing leads to another". There's a trick putting the oil pump at 11:25, slide it up then turn it 1/8" clockwise and you'll feel the gears fall in place then turn back counter clockwise the 1/8th and bolt up.

Aw yeah. Start my day off laughing. I'm glad I found the "Funny Bone". Tell us how you hide money from Hippies. I didn't think they had any.
