Sorry I'm late to the party but if you ever have to do it again. I've always gotten lucky and pulled a rope with a wood "handle" up through the hole in the tunnel as the transmission goes further back. Then tie it off when it's level and let the wood hold it in place until I can get the transmission mount mounted.

Read through this. It'll help get prepared for the job. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/clutchbleed/index.html

I use Red-Kote with no issues so far, about 10 years on my 280 and 5 on the 240. After all the research, reading I did it was apparent how long I let it cure makes the successfulness of the process what it is or is not. @Bonzi Lon thank you for the advice. I ran those glass fuel filters for the first month looking for pinkish colored fuel. After getting scolded by many folks I took them off fearing a leak and engine fire. Thanks @madkaw for scaring the bejesus out of me but they never leaked and served their purpose, no pink gas right before the fuel rail. The low pressure on the carbed 240 was a no brainer but the 32'ish psi on the 280 was worrisome and I wound up with quality fuel extinguishers in both cars. Long road but it circled back around complete and everything is fine. And I have the plastic filters right out of the tank on both cars. G2 on the 240, G3 on the 280.

Apple slices.

You need makeup on them hands, those life long working hands. Maybe some googly eyes to look back at you in shame. You'd get them eyeballs moving so fast they'd look like a hockey puck getting slapped around.

Okay it's a "high I'm a new member". That's great! Friendliest forum I've ever been a part of. ❤ We're better than Spongebob.

Totally off topic, you all know me! What does this little high five mean? I've seen it lately and have to know everything so what says @Mike? I'm thinking "High I'm a new member"? But it could be some deeper Illuminati BS.

Mine is a nuts cooler.

That looks good to me. Your tensioner has full contact with the chain. I used the outer hole and it's been good but different kits work differently. I put a ZX kit on my 2.4. It was super tight but like I said the car runs great, revs up to the moon. Your call. Whatever you like is what you should go with. We're looking at pictures, you are with the actual motor. I don't doubt you'll be fine using either hole. Like Zed said it is the slack side. I like the full contact of the tensioner too. Sleep good tonight with whichever hole you use. It's all good!

Could you draw a center line on the cam towers and use those for centers? I do that when I adjust my valves.

If you're a visual type maybe you'll see what I'm saying. "Unload" is what my Dad said???

I was gonna see if I could come out there and live in you and Kathy's yard after the lady at the grocery store said she didn't need a vacation if we all had ours. Dumbest thing I ever heard so far but todays not over yet. Then I saw how hot it was out there. Y'all may want to move into my rental house. I'd give you guys a good discount. ❤

HaHa Zed! You must first equalize the air pressure in each tire and hope your concrete floor was done correctly.

Cliff's Alabama Tune Up Drop your baby off and I'll beat the $^!# out of it then charge you $1,000. It's way cheaper than sending it to Italy. Guaranteed by Shaquille O'neal. Fill and chill.

Knowing the engine sits lower on the passenger's side you can tell right off which motor mount goes on which side.

A very muched stressed topic in the ztherapy.com dvd. The flat bar isn't flat at all. You bend it until the opposite ends look the same as far as parallel goes then put it on and then you may need to twist it to get it working smoothly. There's some videos on you tube you can see what we're talking about.

Well you're not a D as far as I've seen. The filter fits between the tank and the high pressure EFI pump where there's nothing but drain from the tank. They're good BEFORE the high pressure pump.

Have you put in the best choke holder? Best money spent, or top 5 I guess.

What's the story behind that? I've always heard FIAT, Fix It Again Tony. That's Italian right? Tony Soprano, Tony's Pizza, Tony's spagetti sauce etc. Tony bologna.

I'm not sure this is what you're talking about but thought I'd share my experience on one I bought. Make sure the J hose that connects the nozzles to the float bowls have the soft rubber hoses and that's not holding them in a bind. I bought one that had regular fuel hose instead and the nozzles weren't coming all the way up. Garage smelt like gas all the time and the carbs were adjusted witout knowing that so there was some back it up and start over issues to get things right.

Mine do it warming up, extra fuel I suppose from choke on the 240 and cold start valve on my 280. Then it goes away after an "Italian tune up" romp.

If you use a small bottle jack or some kind of jack under the "A" arms to take the drop down load off it'll make things a lot easier to work on. I figured that out changing the tie rods. Just jack it up enough to level out the weight, none down and none up. You'll see what I mean if you give it a try. Whoops! Stub axle up front. "A" arms in the back.

Make sure you've had a few beers first, you'll be more beleiveable (at least in your head}.
