  1. Get a 2x4 the right length on that overhang on the passenger's side, use a floor jack and come up from the bottom? I'd tap a putty knife in all around the head gasket to break the seal.
  2. That's awesome! Congratulations to Greg, and good to see Futofab supporting our cars.

    My favorite troll.
  4. Hey Charles I know you check craigslist but have you seen the 240 motor and transmission in one of the Carolina's for $200?

    Earnest T. Bass was the first troll or trowel that I ever heard.

    Now I can associate that image with a couple of user names, maybe they can use it as an avatar.
  8. My T plug doesn't look like your's. Mine look like Ts. Your's look more like an H. Maybe it has the higher output alternator already?
  9. Here's my dealer add on side trim ends, '77 280.
  10. I agree with Patcon, backfiring through the carbs is a sign of leaning out. It could be something loose on the balance tube or the carburetors? http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/a3094/how-to-find-a-vacuum-leak/
  11. I'd pull the the hose off the filter and siphon it until you get a mouth full of fuel. Maybe take the fill cap off too for more vent.
  12. Looks like the "chisel tip" on here. https://www.customautotrim.com/body-side-moldings/rivet-on-molding/tip/82/
  13. Thank you all for the suggestions. They have one of these at walmart, $20. Rechargeable, claims it'll run for 30 to 60 days on a charge depending on humidity. I need to get a new middle garage door. Lots of daylight showing around it now so that's why the dehumidifier runs constantly. After selling the red 240 I have some extra cash for the custom sized door and a digital, programmable dehumidifier.
  14. I'm sure you're right Charles, I have mold. I just go by the gauge and it claims 55 to 60 % is okay. I'll let that thing run 24/7. Mold my my eyes red and nose stuffy, is what I tell my Mom.
  15. So glad you're keeping this up and running. I can't imagine my Z experience without that. I hope you can get Kammy's valve adjusting suggestions included. I guesstimate my 5,000 plus replies have at least 500 of your tips I Hoover-ed from you and always got a "Like" from them. I know that I helped people through your detailed work. Now you're on 240s, FANTASTIC! Like you told Hardway, "keep them coming". I'll keep passing the info on to the newer guys. Thank you!
  16. Thank you Phillip. I can take odorless peroxide. it's cheap too. If I took a peroxide bath it would erupt with fizzle like a grade school science project.
  17. May try a diluted bleach and water. Heavily diluted! Or buy a handheld Dirt Devil.
  18. Is there a vinegar that doesn't smell like vinegar? Maybe I could use raspberry flavored vinegar or vodka. I run a dehumidifier and have humidistat gauge down there. It rarely gets above 60%.
  19. Seems to be a common thing now days, when your wrong flip it to insults. ie. Trump
  20. Taste different also.
  21. I keep my Zs covered in a mostly dark and dry garage. I am having some type of powdery mold spots forming on the carpets. They will disappear after vacuuming and even brushing with my hand. Anybody else have these spots and know what I could do to prevent them? Thanks.
  22. My take on your cam question is based on the cam I had reground. The lobes are much smaller now, almost round. So I don't see how they could push any of the valves further down than stock. They just stay open longer.
  23. I thought it was an intercom from Sonic.
  24. I'll try my best to attend track day. I love that track from a spectator's point of view. You can pull right up to the guardrail on the back straight.
  25. The book looks much better. The contrast on the download is a little too much for my eyes.
