The coolant lines are easy to block, it's those two vacuum hoses coming off that thermal vacuum switch you have to deal with. I just pulled all that stuff off when I rebuilt mine, the BPT valve and the EGR.

This will be the fourth one he's bought since 1975, they work fantastic. He runs one all night and the other all day, 10 boxes 60lbs to 70lbs each of pork shoulders, 600-700 lbs a day they sale. The back pit is for chicken and ribs, use them both at Thanksgiving and Christmas smoking turkeys. His look like this "through the wall model". You load and unload inside the restaurant but the fire box is outside. Family owned since 1975, https://www.facebook.com/pruettsbbq/ I thought we were going this morning but he talked to the guy in Texas and they have a special flatbed truck with a boom lift for delivering. Stan worked a deal where he's going to give them the old one and cut the delivery price down to less than I would go for. So I'm not getting a quick $1,000 for 20 hours on I-20 and my teeth rattled out into the floorboard. That's a rough interstate.

It was eleven o'clock at night, they woke me up! I didn't know whether to get a beer or a Bloody Mary.

I'm going to Mesquite Texas in the next day or so to pick up a $20,000 Oyler bar b que pit made by J&R Manufacturing. But unable to make ZCON. I'll leave a trail of empty beers to find my way back just in case.

I called my nephew's son my grand nephew and he thought he was something special. He called me his grand uncle! Get that car, quick or it'll be gone then your riding the hobby horse. Just kidding but that really is a neat 240, white with red interior. Not too common.

I live in North Alabama and keep mine in my garage. I deleted everything but the AAR so I'm not able to give real life experience without it but I can say for certain that mine never gets cold enough to open the passage inside for a h higher rpm. It always starts at 1,000 rpm, where I have it set. I honestly can not remember ever having a temporarily higher rpm on cold days. I start mine and hold it at 1,200 until the oil pressure gauge gets 3/4s then blast off. I do know not to hammer down until the thermostat opens and flows coolant freely. Read a couple of people getting on their's hard when cold and blowing out a freeze plug. If it were mine I would leave it off and see how it acts. You can always put it back in the loop of hoses. FWIW

Did you replace the differential mount? Those cause a lot of the thunks on Zs.

Those are mine!

If his needles are shorter wouldn't that mean the nozzles should be higher than the 2.5 turns we normally do or lower?

Chris Connell too. He had one of the best voices I've ever heard, Ronnie James Dio said "the best" and Dio's an all time great in my opinion.

People have to quit dying!

My '77 has hinges at the top with shallow screws and spring loaded barrel latches at the bottom, also shallow screws. They were designed to be able to unhook the bottom and raise them off the rear window for cleaning, hinged louvers. The good thing about these is you can take out four screws on the top hinges and remove the whole assembly. Something similar to this but black of course.

Beautiful picture of your car. Another castle with a moat! Americans would be riding jet skis around something like that you know. Now can you tell me if you put a Schneider 270/280 .460 cam kit in your car? I tagged Lumens the other day thinking it as him but I realize now it maybe was your car. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions, through private message. Thank you, Cliff

Is that something you chose to do or you have to do? To me that seems like there is a problem. Could your choke pull handle mount be loose on the console? There's a better mounting plate on ebay that'll get it off the console and way stronger, more pulling power. I can't figure out how to drop the nozzles then pull the choke cable? Seems like the other way around would work better? Good luck, I'm curious for the fix. 8^)

My Dad says his wife is a good witch. I say know way, burn her at the stake!

Oh and mark the cable location on it's hold down clamp with a Sharpie or something so you'll be sure and get it back right.

Unhook the cable and see if you can move it up and down. I'd think if it movs any it's in that flat metal bar Mark's talking about. It should move up and down about an inch with the choke cable undone, freely by hand.

That happened to one of mine before. The nozzle was stuck. I had unhook everything and drop the nozzle then sand the brass down smooth. It was coated with a varnishy coating from sitting too long. Good eye Mark, hopefully.

Get the short slave to hard line hose too. I think I got the slave cylinder and rubber hose for $20 maybe? amazon.com or rockauto.com, Beck Arnley is what I ended up getting. FYI

Sounds like you need a new slave cylinder to me. Not a big deal and an inexpensive part. The hardest part is bleeding the air out.

Cool job! That's better than a vaginacologist.

Thank you! It's an E-31 with a .460 lift cam. Zama lama ding dong!

I think they are Nissan Vitons. I'll find them, sorry I was excited.
