  1. Try the gauge before the filter. I'm sure the FPR vacuum hose is in good shape? You may have a collapsing hose somewhere.

    Otherwise. unfortunately she had a fall and got a bilateral ankle fracture they're about to operate at 4pm. Sitting here now. She's in good spirits and the Doc says this is fairly routine in older bones that get a good hit as in falling. She'll be fine. Thanks for asking. No, no I'm feeling good. Temps good too. They check it before entry at the hospital. I have 10G service now. It's awesome! Oh yeah I'm out there! You know me, I'm way out there.

    I've begun to test my vaccination, hard. Went to a family members birthday party Saturday. 50 plus people of all ages that were hugging and shaking hands. Went to see my Mom for the 3rd time today since Saturday a.m at the hospital. If I quit posting you'll know the Moderna is no good.
  4. Oh crap I did it again. Y'all are talking about Webers and I started reading at the last post. I'm sorry.
  5. Make sure these flats are in the right order. I put mine back on wrong and it shot up to 2 or 3 thousand rpms.
  6. I would call the machinest and ask what they did. What you paid for but don't wizz them off they may be your only help.
  7. Well wait a minute. They hot tanked it and it didn't get that blue paint off? Maybe they just honed the cylinder walls? Yep, I think your cylinder walls were just honed. Every block I've had dipped came back nothing but steel. No paint.
  8. The core plugs are really bad, people don't see that. I had mine hot tanked and then dug and chipped at the rear to get a little more. The cylinders look good, cross hatch I think they call it. You could dig more calcium out but that could break free on down the road. I think I would let it go as is, they did and they're day in and day out guys. Trust is tough but you have to on these old cars. Now when it blows up don't get mad at me.
  9. All that stress gets me to drinking. Wait a minute, all that drinking gets me to stress. Just goofing. Your work looks great! I've always been amazed at what you can do. A true car guy and I watched "Ford vs Ferrari" the other day. You are Ken Miles in my opinion. He was a true no bull**** car guy. Matt Damon/ Carroll Shelby more of a salesman. If we had awards I would put you at #1.
  10. You should park that outside until rain comes in. It happened in Memphis I remember and now again. My pilot lighted water heater is in my garage so that's kind of scary. I'd be like the house on Wizard of Oz flying through the air. Glad you have a phone in your pocket!
  11. Weedeater cord works too. That should be an easy figure out type thing but those can take a sharp turn. In and out of the tank. You can get a low psi pump from a chain parts store for $20 and straight wire it WITH CLIPS for quick disconnect from the battery. Have a hose pipe or fire extinguisher close by. Best of luck.
  12. I have an aluminum pump on my 240 and Melling steel pump on my 280. I haven't had them apart since the rebuilds but it does look like you have some extra pitting. Could be coolant mixed in with the oil. Just a guess but that's what it does to the water pumps that I've seen with head gaskets gone bad.

    Wow! I'm glad she made it through all that. My Mom is 76 and starting to go through dementia. It's very sad to to talk to her on the bad days but nicer days every now and again. I'm totally helpless which makes me crazy but it is what it is and nothing can change it.
  14. We could get Band-Aid to sponsor this... Do like the "Kartrashions" and brand our on band-aid with the Z logo. We'd get sued to hell and back but they'd be cool.

    Underware=hide the cocktail.

    I get my #2 Moderna May 13 and then I'll quit masking, they stink like $^!# or maybe that's just my breathe? Anyhow now I'm gonna have to start shaving again and that was a nice break from normal life for me. I most definitely will continue washing my hands, that's something I've always been freaky about so no change there. I can see the light at other end finally I just hope it stays lit. Thank you all again for putting up with my crazy arse.

    I wear underwear. Why? I just do. They keep things in.
  18. I've not heard too much on exhaust seats being worn out. Intakes that are bronze, definitely but not exhaust. I guess if the adjustment was really off they could get damage? My machinist told me the big intake seats are the same as a Dodge hemi motor so they were cheap as that's a popular motor nowadays. I too would look for an older head and start over. I know where an n42 is in an older junkyard for $100 and that includes the n42 intake. My $.02.
  19. Another trick that makes things easier! You should write a book. We all could assist by adding our tricks/cheats. Call it "A to Zs, refurbishing Z cars".
  20. You're who I learned that from! Take that elbow off and lay it on whatever you choose and lightly tap an impression on the material. Cut it out with an exacto knife and a hole punch.
  21. I agree with surface rust. They can run a geglazer or hone down and clean that off.

    There's more commercials on the news channels now than ever. I'm switching from cable to streaming when I have time to spend and figure it out. Xfinity is flogging me with $^!# emails after I complained a week ago. They use the confusion manipulation tactic so it takes some time.
  23. I would also play on the 2+2 roominess, if I remember right you talked about. There isn't much difference on the outside look but the interior offers more room for bigger folks. Like a mattress.
  24. I agree with craigslist but don't dare put your info on there. Make people go through their email setup. If you have a isp like comcast you should make a second or whichever email address just for the sale. I get 4 with comcast.net

    I've been on the wrong side of the law since I was 14. Now I'm trying to be respectful but have never felt so alone and worried about day to day in my life. I know it's up to me and my decisions going foward. Hopefully things will get back to normal as fast as possible. I'm tired of watching television. I can honestly say classiczcars.com has been my lifeline during all this. I don't consider what we say and share as social media, it's not. I really feel like family here and I appreciate that. This is helping me through these weird times by trying to help others with a car problem that I can actually help. So get out there and tear up these Zs! Y'all are keeping me sane. (well mostly). Stick together and help others when you can. Open a door for someone, help somebody fix a door. It feels the same.
