That's a picture of a picture taken in March or April 1992 the very first time I took it out on the water, so it was "back in the summer of '92". It was a little cold still, we are wearing long sleeve shirts, but I'd just bought it and had to see what I got for $4,000. One of my favorite days, one of her worst. You see she wanted to get married but I said we were too young and didn't have the money. So I go and buy that boat. She was pissed. That's a stock 2.4 liter Mariner, 150 HP. Mariners were Mercury's way of selling the same motor at competing dealerships back then. Now they are only sold outside the United States but the same motor still. That would run about 75 mph at 6,500 rpm, just enough to get excited. Not fast but almost. Then I bought a 2.5 Mercury 200 horse. It was scary fast, like "stop this damn boat and let me out" fast. The speedometers on boats are not very accurate but a friend's brother bought the first portable GPS I'd ever seen. It was $3,000 in 1995. With that I got it up to 101 mph one evening when the water was slick and I was wasted. 24 pitch prop would turn 8,500 rpm in a quarter mile, my top end prop was a 28 pitch. I could turn it 8,200. Lots of fun back then until all the jet skis covered the water. I sold it for $7,500 and bought a Suzuki 750 gsxr.

It does look like the 2nd one. I was looking at the two gaps in the seam.

I feel the same Mark. If I was in my 20s and our bars were closed I just can't imagine the DUIs I'd rack up. Thanks to testosterone, lack of, I'm able to be safer at home now days.

It's horrible! I'm getting older and more of a comfort seeker. 25 years ago I'd be out on the lake all day on my boat, drinking beers and what not.

Stayed inside and away from any type explosion fired motors.

This is a '79 F54 ZX pan and backers. Looks like the 3rd in CO's box. But mine has an extension on the top towards the rear. It was a 2+2 ZX if that scratches your itch a little more.

Edwin Hall 1879! I HAD to google that.

I've always bought from ztherapy. I do have another SU place bookmarked on my laptop. I'll post it when I'm using again. Most likely tomorrow though...

These backwards arse idiots in Alabama won't wear mask until 5pm this evening, Guuvner Ivey's order starts then. Like Walmart's order to take effect the 20th. The virus won't be contagious until those deadlines. Dead lines, literally at walmart.

No, just an exhaust leak which may cause hotter fuel rail, "heat soak". @S30Driver again to the rescue!

This may be of some help. I've never seen that before myself. Here's a bunch of threads on those shafts... https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&ei=S44PX-W8LsuOggebw6ngCA&q=bent+su+butterfly+shaft+classiczcars.com&oq=bent+su+butterfly+shaft+classiczcars.com&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEANQAFgAYJ41aABwAHgAgAHdAYgB3QGSAQMyLTGYAQA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Is he the guy that spoke at the awards dinner in Memphis? I think Eiji translated for him. I remember some good laughs from the crowd as he spoke and a lot of clapping when he left the podium.

These bullet connections are what @S30Driver is speaking of, not the ones on the housing. Hope this helps.

Here's mine with the choke off.

Shouldn't the choke cable be all the way down? Looks like yours is up.

Found better...

Mines on the straight one. Heres a picture I found and looks to be the straight side too.

here's a thread with some good information on installing the pan correctly and the 2 seal flanges are first up.

I didn't want that metal on my paint either so I went to Lowes and bought something similar to these. The rear bumper side mounts and the front bumper sides are all I remember needing the rubber. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-2-Pack-1-in-Rubber-Washer/3130433

The mask would make somewhat of a "muffler" for our heavy sleeping friends. I will double up mine! Be like sleeping in Colorado. @wal280z @Captain Obvious

Anyone heard an update or I guess a down-gate on this zcon? I don't think it looks too promising. Maybe we all rent RVs and stay in our own bubbles? I remember worrying about bed bugs at hotels a year ago.

Wow! That looks like a crustacean family has been living in there. Can't wait to see pictures after you get the block's core plugs out, I like to get grossed out.
