I'm a plan guy. Always have one or two at least. These people in control do not. It's very tough on us. I'm not dealing very well with the uncertainty, deceit fulness that I read/hear daily. I don't think we can take the yo yoing much longer. Somebody needs to stand up and be consistent with a plan. The potus wants to reopen schools for a month. Why?

No it's stock L28 except for port matching which was a significant increase in air/fuel flow. I added a potentiometer for more fuel to compensate for more air flow. It ran lean and bucked like crazy until 2,500 rpm. Now it pulls like a tractor.

I have the 6to1 ceramic header and 2.5" performance exhaust from MSA on my 240 and 280. I really like the sound and the ceramic header does a fantastic job lowering the under hood temp. 240 sounds great with no resonator at all speeds. 280 had to have a 20" resonator installed at local exhaust shop, generic one they had on hand. Charged about $50 IIRC. It had a horrible drone sound on the interstate and was god awful loud pulling hills around town. I can only guess the bigger 2.8 was the cause of the drone sound, everything else was the exact same as the 2.4. I was thinkinging MSA had reducing adapters for smaller diameter exhaust?

I agree with Zed Head. That mechanic don't know or confused what he's heard which is the 260 carbs are boat anchors. The short block and head are good to go. Find another Z specific shop or a good VW mechanic, they ran those carbs too.

Yeah, feed me! Save the talking.

Unfortunately my dog's food ran out so I had to go to Walmart this morning. Workers there, 10% were wearing mask, about twice that had them pulled down so they could talk to each other. All young people. I've convinced myself, so as not to go postal on the idiots, they've never had the flu. I have and it's life changing wishing I was dead instead. I think mask should be like seatbelts during this, mandatory with no excuses. I bought two 40lb bags instead of one. Hope the dog doesn't get killed.

I think the body would be easiest for that trick.

These work good on the bigger lines. Oil based fine point sharpie, silver and white. Heater panel, radio and the console, horn pad etc. Thanks for that tip @psdenno

If you still have that panel off and haven't already done it, take your air gun and blow out the drain. I bet yours is stopped up. When it's open you can feel and hear air blowing out above the passenger's front tire. Looks good!

My cruddy tank would let me drive about a mile before clogging up the fram g2 I had right out of the tank. Took the front hose off at input of that filter. Blew like crazy with my mouth until it was gurgling in the tank then I could get back home, barely.

These are what Zed's talking about.

This is the cheapest and easiest way to get a close level of the float chambers. $2 worth of clear hose from Lowes. The red arrow in this pic. The fuel in the hose should be even with the top of that rectangular boss on the side of the carb.

Sort of but a bit fuzzy from all the "flights". There's only a few ways of thinking when it comes to the Q in my opinion. Pulled or chopped, white sauce or red and low and slow vs over an open flame. Honestly I was thinking it was two guys at the table with that girl? Do tell, I'm curious now. My steel trap didn't hold that conversation too well.

Were you in Alabama in late '68? Dad?

Lewis Black, Sam Kinnison love those guys. Mitch Hedberg too.

I've always said gin taste like Pine Sol but I've never had pine sol and tonic? Maybe my mind thinks gin taste like the smell of pine sol? Like sauerkraut taste like the smell of farts. I could go on but I won't.

I've started huffing Lysol instead of metallic gold spray paint. Mow the yard in direct sunshine and huff some Lysol. Life is good!

I remember it like it was yesterday. We went to the right address of the brewery but no taps. The guy had reddish brown hair and Carhart overalls on. He was stirring a big ole pot of something when we came in the loading dock's door. Walked by a forklift and a dumpster up a few steps and into the brewery. Isn't he the one that gave us those wooden tokens for free beer at their tap house/bar? where we sat at a table with a bunch of other folks? I remember the super sweet good looking girl that took your printed list and told us "go here and here...". My favorite was the one where you and I were the only ones there yet and they brought out those sampler planks, you knew the name but I'd never seen that before. Great memories Sir!

I bet your air pull is much higher now. Do you use a "snail" air meter? I bought the Empi off amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/43-5712-Universal-Pro-Sync-Adapters-Volkswagen/dp/B00BVQGFZG

A vacuum gauge will tell a lot diagnostic wise.

Here's some reading, stalking. Welcome to the forum! https://www.google.com/search?q='78+running+lean+classiczcars.com+site:www.classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjpv4iss__oAhVFgXIEHYzZBSUQrQIoBDAAegQIAhAP&biw=1280&bih=606

Does it have the little rubber nub on the dome bottom? I think it's for alignment but the ztherapy dvd says cut it off, I did on my set of SUs. BTW, damn fine looking car!

That Camry was great in Memphis. It's stealthiness worked very well for our craft beer tour downtown. Ask our buddy.

I hear you. I don't like buying one use either. Harbor Freight have them? Hopefully someone will respond with a loaner.

Well I'll be one one of 'them' I guess. Cigarettes kill way more than covid-19 could hope to. I'm sorry but I do not understand smokers of the cigarette. No offense, I'm a hypocrite, I do things that baffle my loved ones.
