Someone on here said to use a thin rag between the handle and the door panel to remove the pin. Maybe you could use a handkerchief or bandanna and pull it down? Mark Maras was the member that offered that trick.

Congratulations! Sharp looking car.

I went and looked at mine, 355,000 something serial number, the strut housing? is a dark blue under all the grime. And the funny thing is, my front passenger side spring has about 3 coils that are red the rest is either black or dark blue too. If you'll tell me where to look I'll be glad to or take some pictures.

That's a water damaged car in my opinion. Too much interior rust and the whole bottom's got surface rust. Maybe it's been in a flood or something? And that VIN # 005,894 can't be right, maybe a typo? but my '72 is in the 95,000s.

Maybe TWM? https://www.google.com/search?q=TWM+intake&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=TWM+intake&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 - - - Updated - - - Maybe TWM? https://www.google.com/search?q=TWM+intake&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=TWM+intake&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

Look at my car in the 1st post. It's not hurt, I'm not hurt. Nobody's screwing me over. Live and let live.

After seeing the red head in #3006, I'm pulling for her, he he hee.

If it rolls in PARK I would think it's adjusted the wrong way, no offense to your mechanic. I take that back! and you should too.

Congratulations to you and your wife on the new baby.

Thank You.

You're a pretty good troll! I fell for it. Go away from here.

Actually a fellow member on this forum found one on craigslist.com for me. But after the accident I've been thinking about going another route, especially after seeing this picture. Not sure what it'll cost in the end but I've found an MSA 240z front bumper on craigslist and some spoilers, just not the Xenon one that I really want. If I can get a good deal on the pieces it'll be around $500 for the look I want, about the same as an OE bumper. Not safe at all but it looks good! Oh yeah, there's 4 at an old junkyard just outside the city limits I've been robbing parts off of for awhile. When the weather permits I'm going to get the 1 rubber boot that got torn off in the accident and put it on, just to balance out the look of my bumper. It's all that got damaged. Thank you for your reply and hopefully you'll find one of your own soon.

The AAR is sticking which is causing the fast idle, so I'll clean it out some how, I checked today when it was "fast" idling after warmed up by clamping the hose on either side and it almost died out, so the AAR is not closing properly. I tapped on it with wrench and the idle dropped after each tap so its sticky. Thanks for the help. Mike You're welcome.

After that bump I'm liking those ugly bumpers even more but finding a replacement is going to be tough, and pricey. I need those end pieces too. I'm looking at different options now and in no hurry.

MSA has a universal cover,'70 -'78 that looks like a laundry bag pulled over the seats. I am hoping to find some that are tight fitting neoprene. E-bay I guess, thanks though.

Could someone recommend a tight fitting seat cover they have and like. I've got white interior and want it to stay as white as I can. Thanks for any replies.

Hypertek that Datsmo page is cool, thanks for sharing that.

That's a pretty neat video! The 4 barrel should be easier to work with.

From the atlanticz tech tip link: Trouble Shooting If you suffer from a fast idle after the car is warmed up, simply use vise grips to pinch off the hose between the throttle body and AAR. If the idle rpm decreases then the AAR is not closing. Also does your car have a BCDD? It might need an adjustment.

What he said. https://www.google.com/search?q=n47+head+exhaust+ports&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=FWXkUt6UBO3gsATH1oDICA&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg&biw=1280&bih=620

Oh ok that's pretty new, you can clamp that hose to see pretty quick though. Hopefully it's a bad plug, dirty or loose?

If it just started the high idle, I'd take the AAR off and clean it. Your '75 has the older routing of the hoses and gets cruddy. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/aar/index.html Forgot to say you'll not be able to take it apart like in the tech tip, I used spray brake cleaner. Cleaned it right up.
