  1. Don't let your wife read that! https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/ aka "Blue's Tech Tips" and this forum is all I needed and I don't have any cents.
  2. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I'm pulling off a huge conspiracy for all my TikTok followers with 6 piston cups. Stop by anytime. If I'm not home my cameras and neighbors will surely let me know. I'm about an hour from Barber Motorsports Park. We could make a day out of it.
  3. Saw this on marketplace. No idea why he couldn't return them? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/859135412997201/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-1044793123484703691"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"8938584548717743279"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"8938584548717743279"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A8938584548717743279%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A162%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A41188063074766094%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.00017362306366061%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A3523%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"8687215747976919\"%3A3565}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-1044916749731165527"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"41188063074766094"}
  4. This is from 2017 where we talked about the choke light.

    I see you know about ripping around. Those 1 liter bikes are hard on the rear tires.
  6. My '72 has the temp needle on the right side leg of the M in TEMP as long as I've driven it. That's perfect in my experience. Mine never feels overly hot. I did the pointer temp gauge too, 175 F, every time.

    I got this in my inbox. Haven't had time to go through the deals yet. Might be something other than fan belts.
  8. Recklessly driving around eating their pets. In Ohio, a new anti-hooning bill was signed into law in July 2024. The law increases penalties for hooning from a traffic ticket to a felony, and allows law enforcement to ticket spectators. Drivers who flee from law enforcement can be charged with a third-degree felony, which could result in jail time.
  9. My car for the Chinese Franklin Mint model.
  10. $106,000 end bid.
  11. Isn't this pic on the passenger's side? Looks like the alternator I'm seeing. Look on the other side where the steering rod connects. Maybe you'll find it. Good luck!
  12. Here's my plastic plug before the zerk fitting If you could take the fitting off the end of the hose on a grease gun and get it under the accordion sleeves and pump it while working the wheel back and forth you would get some on the teeth of the rack I think.
  13. $10,500 is pretty cheap. The seller admits he didn't know squat about the car so it was a gamble. I got mine from the same type guy but for $2,000. Back in the good old days, 2015.
  14. The few I've done a telescoping magnet was a big help for the retainers.

    The nice paint on the block makes me think it's been rebuilt by someone that cared enough to get the correct color. I'd guess it's most likely a decent motor if it turns freely. $500 minimum IMHO No carbs, $300.
  16. I've removed material off my rockers to weigh the same but if I'm reading that right he's making your's a one off type thing. You'll be a lifelong customer.
  17. You could try one. It would not hurt anything. I had one on a 2 cycle dirt bike that would foul the plug when I didn't keep the RPMs up high enough.
  18. I opened the rad lower drain and put a hoe's pipe in the the top of the radiator. I didn't have my carb linkage stops in the right orientation and as soon as I cranked it shot up to about 3 grand and I shot my pants. You'll have less stress as you're more methodical than me. Good results await you!
  19. Similar to my problem. Could not figure out why it wouldn't hit right off then after pulling my few hairs out I realized the lid screws were loose and the float bowls were evaporating themselves dry. Add another to my simple problems that I over looked. I would be a terrible doctor but the insurance companies would love it.
  20. We'll never know if he's wrong.
  21. I've had similar and it turned out to be the float chamber lids screws were loose. There's 4 on each of mine, Phillips head. They vibrate loose after a whille I suppose if you haven't had them off or anything. Raise the piston on each carb and check for "equally shitty" running. One carb runs 3 cylinders so disabling them one at a time should give you equal crappy running. It'll run but barely. Did the distributor hose come off the front carb? It does sound like extra air being pulled in from somewhere. High rpm is generally a result.
  22. My tach acted up a little here and there but overall it was okay with the stock coil. I read a good bit about them and ended up with the Crane PS20. It's 1.4 ohms which a little higher than the fsm specs, .06 to 1.0. I figured the bigger distributor cap and button could take the extra .04. It has been rock solid since day one. I have a 10 lb-ish aluminum flywheel and that tach needle pops up and down like the stock market. https://www.amazon.com/Crane-Cams-730-0020-PS20-Performance/dp/B000CIO1F0/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1401630162&sr=1-1&keywords=crane+ps20+coil#productDetails
  23. You could get a good price on that Boeing Starliner that just came back empty???? The cartels have a new mule. They having a party on the space station.
  24. I am using two long armed lids on my '72's, basically they are 3 screw carbs with the early 4 screw configuration. I put a rear lid and valve on my front carb with great success. From ztherapy.com... The Float Chamber Lids came in three styles. The float pivot points are called ears. They came long or short. All 70 carbs had two long lids. 71-72 had one long, one short (the short one goes on the rear carb). 1969-Jan 1970 float chamber lids were round with 4 tabs for the hold down screws. This is a result of Datsun raiding the parts bin and using leftover 2 litre Roadster parts. The Z 4 screw body IS the 2L roadster body with the vacuum tap moved.

    I see it now. It's a clothes dryer!
