  1. The lower geared r180 is square looking. Taller r200 is more rounded. I put a wide 5 speed with the oe r180 and really like it. 70 to 80 mph on the interstate is 2,000 to 2,500 rpms. That's the only time i use fifth. It's like having the oe 4 speed around town. Great looking car btw. Glad you joined the forum. Lots of info and even more nice folks. Cliff
  2. That's Ellie Mays husband. Imagine what Mrs. Drysdale thinks about that yard?
  3. It's a beatiful but quick dance you have to do but so much better than a radiator shops do. I honestly believe the week of natural curing is the best.
  4. No https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+280z+gas+tanks&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjp8OGquZ7iAhXJct8KHcTIB7cQ_AUoAnoECA0QAg&biw=320&bih=449
  5. File that end off that doesn't go into the hole on the cars side. O into a D and they'll drop in. If I'm thinking what you're saying. If not I'm arse-suming.
  6. Found it...
  7. Same problem with the mounts here too. I ground mine down to a half circle looking pin. There's enough in the hole to keep them in place. From what i read the mounts now are all universal and work fine on 280s. 240s need some massaging. Mine were Beck Arnleys. Good luck.
  8. I haven't done this, I run just a mechanical pump but it's a good read. For some reason I'm thinking @Jarvo2 made a change or two though to something better? http://jarvas240z.blogspot.com/2013/01/electric-fuel-pump-installation.html
  9. My favorite is CantechZ's. A bunch more here... https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ei=H0HcXJOqDI6Y_Qb3loT4Dg&q=cantechz+hubcap+classiczcars.com&oq=cantechz+hubcap+classiczcars.com&gs_l=psy-ab.3...24018.24018..25642...0.0..0.111.111.0j1......0....1..gws-wiz.xo5NNLcslzM
  10. Where the Bumpuses Italian? That crate was!
  11. When you google always add "classiczcars.com" at the end and you'll find what you need. Our past threads will show up, you'll get your answer then. Best of luck!
  12. Happy Mother's Day. I'll keep trying to make some mother's! A man's work is never done.
  13. That's adjusting on the "fly" right there. I love these old cars.
  14. Sad but true. No buses or taxi service around here. If it'll crank and roll you're good to go.
  15. I found a rechargeable First Alert, all metal that fits perfectly in the bin behind the passenger's seat.
  16. Deep down South but they may have the hood? https://www.resurrectedclassics.net/
  17. My mistake. It's the brake light in the gauge that wire causes to come on. Sorry.
  18. I hung my masters in place from my garage ceiling with some nylon cord then removed/replaced the booster. Easy enough but the nuts above the brake pedal were a real pain to get back on. Took a couple of hours but saved some dough ray me. Got my rebuilt booster from amazon.com, painted it satin black and glued the Bendix red sticker onto the new one. Looks original too. Good luck!
  19. Yes! And just out curiosity, apologize if already answered, have you checked 12 volts at the brake sockets? I'm pretty sure there's a wire or something on the hydraulic distribution block under the masters that will keep the lights from power???
  20. Dont'cha hate "this mailbox is full" when you need them then honestly you wish your's was full.
  21. Totally agree with you! I know I missed out on a lot of happiness in my life but I'm glad I won't be worrying about my kid/kids having to live through the misery. It ends with me.
  22. I too suffer/benefit from deeper opinion. Graying and thinning hair, no benefits. Edit: shampoo savings=more money for my cars.
  23. Re tired! That's what you told me, time to get to work.
  24. I must agree Charles, they rarely get out of the gayrage.
