I watch "Always Sunny in Philidelphia" and have seen a burgundy 2+2 parked outside the bar more than once.

Holy moly! I just looked at Zedyone's picture. That is a thing of beauty Sir.

Here's the measurments from Willoughby Z, thanking him again, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread43897.html. Scroll down to #21. I'm going to be putting a FPR on the firewall close to where the coolant in and out is on the passenger's side and running the return down to the hardline going back to the tank, on passenger's side. The one for a '78 only has 1 inlet and the return on bottom. So the end of the rail closet to windshield will be connected by about 2' high pressure 5/16' fuel line to the FPR then low pressure from the bottom or return of the FPR down above the starter but below the battery down that flat part of the frame where the hard fuel lines are coming from the tank and connect to the return. It works in my head but is hard to explain. I just woke up so sorry for the rambling. My medication takes about 30 minutes to kick in.

Parachute but no wheelie bars? That is a crazy ride.

Ben the aluminium rail already has the 1/2" feed line drilled in it http://www.rossmachineracing.com/dash6.html. And yes that is Blue, blue & blue white twisted pair phone wire. FYI everybody on DSL that's all it takes to connect you to the info highway, 2 little wires. Coaxial is the way to go. And my quest is to do away with all hardlines on my motor. They get crudded up.

Thank you Blue, that means a lot.

2' aluminium stock off ebay $30. 6 -1/4 NPTx5/16 barbs from Lowes @$1.60, 2 -3/8 NPTx5/16 barbs from Fastenal @$2.03, loaned from a plumber friend taps & bits @$0, 4lbs baking soda for blasting gun from Dollar Store $2.00. $100 on beer. Easy to do. I'm gonna give myself a 8 out of 10. Next one will be perfect.

My valves were so far out of adjustment I heard "clacking" and thought it was a woodpecker on my house.

My Felpro gasket set came with a off white plastic washer for the oil drain. But it has the copper one on it already.

On second thought, who needs 2 identical cars? Carpet your yellow car. ACC is 30minutes from me. I'm going to tunnel in and get mine. Seriously, I think they have an outlet on ebay.

Trade the Marlboros for the Z.

Someone beat you to that. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread46330.html

$2500. You would spend another $2k making it something you'd be proud to drive around. Interior & wheels.

That looks just like mine. I paid $1400 and it doesn't look that good. Buy it! You'll have the brother and sister staying with you. You'll have your own "Family Photos".

I've ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/Dynomax-24215-Race-Bullet-Muffler/dp/B00029J3KW

What glass-pack if any will you use Blue? I've got that exhaust too.

I pulled my 2.8 motor and manual transmission together with a hoist and a ratchet strap on the rear for changing the angle while raising up. That was an idea I beleive JeffG78 uses and it worked great for 1 person. Now that I've spent alot of time and $$$ on my rebuild I ordered a load leveler from amazon for $25 with free shipping, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PX4YCI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01. It is a great looking tool as I haven't used it yet. The ratchet strap would be too nerve racking fot the reinstallation. Buy a 2" rubber cap at Lowes for the transmission fluid. Or wrap it with plastic bags and tape.

I was wondering if the rear main seal is pushed in too far? It's sitting right on the edge of the beveled lip or chamfer on the rear bearing cap.

I intended on leaving an 1/8" sticking out and let that plate and the flywheel pull it down to mate with them. When I got through installing the main caps this is what I had, it went beyond the block surface. Will this be problem? Now would be a good time to correct it IMOP. Thanks for any replies.

I've cleaned up my stock '77 flywheel and was wondering how smoothe the friction side should be. The book I have says use "fine sandpaper" that could be 120 grit or 1000 grit. Should it feel like glass or paper? I have a new Exedy #6009 clutch kit. Thanks for any replys.

Welding shop wanted $40 per hour. I bought a siphon sandblast gun from sears.com for $16 and a bag of play sand from Lowes for $3.50 plus 2 hours of my time @$.50 per hour so less than $21 to do it myself. After pic is 1st then the before. I like it.

I tapped out a gasket and Sharpie-ed it then ground with dye grinder on my intake. I don't know about turning an N47's exhaust port into an N42 though.

I wonder if you could put it in syringe from a veternarian supply or wherever. Squirt it around everything. ?

My Harbor Freight engine stand is the orange one and the welds look like crap but with a handfull of flat washers the block tightend right up and has held up very well. One thing I didn't realize until I saw a post with one, is where the pipe sticks through the back it has about 4 or 6 holes, stick a 3/8" 12" extension through one and you've got a way to rotate your motor without touching the block and another thing was to tie that holding pin onto the stand or you'll be looking for it constantly.
