  1. I went to ZCON in Memphis Tennessee in 2015? and finally met and hung out with these guys. That was the beginning of a completely new relationship. We are from all over the map but have the same attitude and compassion for the Datsuns. It was life changing for me to be around such a group. Forever friends I can say without a doubt. Sorta makes biker gangs understandable to me, personally. I'd do anything for my Z friends and they would, and do, for me. You have to go to a ZCON. EDIT add to. If I had not had this community of friends on CZC these past years I would have had to seek therapy from the local mental health center. Alcohol can only do so much to help me. Trying to help others really is my selfishness that helps me.
  2. I did and found an amusing thread immediately.
  3. That's really insightful. I wonder what a Hummer forum would be like?
  4. It's been like a 4 year bee sting. Nothing debilitating buy annoying as hell. It'll take about a month for the swelling to go away and then I can get back to working in my garage and back to normal day to day boredom. Seinfeld in the morning, not the news. That can wait until the evenings again. Biden will go to bed, not tweet all night.
  5. Toubles come and they will pass
  6. A Banker!? I would've never guessed that.
  7. I've not purchased one of these so just a suggestion. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic08f01
  8. Yes! Respect, like formally Mr Biden. President Maras? I like that.
  9. I see 2 different sands. Maybe one from Florida and one from Dubai?
  10. I see mine occasionally but it's always "shouldn't look this way".
  11. I agree with Mr Maras. You are only focused #4 so I assume you'll pull the head for that one cylinder? I would take the easiest route and try the rope technique first. He's right you'll need a valve spring compressor. The first time I had to do that I bought a $15 from a chain store. It worked for me.
  12. Welcome to the forum. Removing all those vacuum lines for efi to work to run SUs that only need a couple would be a challenge. The vacuum advace nipple on the front carb comes to mind for me. Then the '77 carbon canister and using the '77 fuel tank. There's a lot to do I've read. I have a '77 and want to put a spare set of SUs on there myself but it runs good so I'm not able to open that can of worms right now. Anyway, here's a thread you might could read over and get that lightbulb in your head idea. Good luck with it and you'll get some replies, mostly questions I bet.
  13. It's been awhile but the airflow sync I use to balance air flow I turned #10 screws on my '72 SUs. That spring loaded screw you're missing keeps the linkage tight and snug for butterfly respose. It's not really used to balance them but keeps them responsive to your foot on the pedal. I would watch a few YouTube videos. There's some pretty good ones now. Good luck.
  14. I think that missing screw is what adjust the throttle plates. As in your 2nd sentence, #13 on the diagram. I always unhook that top plastic marble to release the linkage during adjusting. Closest to #8. Here's the spring loaded screw you need. Probably easiest to get one at motorcycle shop. They're on bike carbs.
  15. A very good friend put a familiar face to that flaw. It helped me learn to move on without going down to their level.
  16. I had an overcharging alternator in my 240 a few years back. The glass fuses under the radio would get too hot to touch. Maybe you could figure out which fuse associates with the heater fan and give a touch next time? Could be as simple as a new fuse.

    This happened Monday night after the CFP win. Our future leaders. Thousands of Alabama Crimson Tide fans gathered together at the at Tuscaloosa's Strip to celebrate their team's 18th National Championship title on Monday night. Videos and photos captured several fans flooding the streets of Alabama less than a few hours after the Tide recorded a 52-4 victory over Ohio State at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The celebrations took place amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in the state of Alabama, which has reportedly seen a 30% increase in the last 14 days at an average of 4,272 cases per day.
  18. Average White Band
  19. The first dog of my adult life (35 years old!) I named Jelly. All the older people in my life used to sing "jam up and jelly tight" when I said her name. had no idea what they were referring to until this morning at work listening to the oldies station we have on at the restaurant PA system. Ran back to the office to see the title and who sang it. It's called bubble gum music apparently???????
  20. This thread was very helpful when I did my tank and vent lines. It starts off the exact opposite of what we need to know but turns very informative later on. Plenty of pictures too. Edit: maybe that wasn't it! this shows the passenger's side shield and explains the fill hose better... http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/gastank/index.htm here's another good one...
  21. He'll get $45K I think, maybe $50. It's a RHD in the big money area of California. Some kid will end up with it.
