Love Mel Brooks! I watched Space Balls just the other night. Mr Brook's played President Skroob which is a backwards play on Brooks spelling. I've watched that several times and just realized this.

I'll get a picture of my ceramic coated ones maybe tomorrow night if it doesn't rain here. I'm going to get both cars out, weather permitting. New oil and valves adjusted. Now to wear the brake pads down and heat the tires up. Big plans for Saturday, if no rain comes around.

Holy crap, that's amazing! No photo tricks, photoshop or anything? Just hot as hell and at night? Wow.

I believe his name's Abby something or another?

I'm shifting gears here gentlemen. Y'all are making me sleepy. 😑

I'm in a group photo with him in Memphis. 😎 Nanny nanny boo boo!

Nice car! Can TechZ has the best color match with matte clear coat on top. I redid mine after seeing his.

I found something similar to what my uncle used off his rear truck hub. Cannot believe I found this. This is 70s/80s redneck engineering. His name was "Uncle Luther". Miss him too.

My Dad made a wood splitter using a floor jack and a thick low tree limb.

Go ahead and replace it I say. The Exedy is a great choice. I have one in both my Zs. https://www.amazon.com/EXEDY-06009-OEM-Replacement-Clutch/dp/B001B5D7TE

You have that good "figuring out sense" that's so prevalent on classiczcars.com. I've been blessed with it also but once I got involved with this forum I realized I'm barely touched with it.

Oops! Looks like a d608-56a, hard to see but there is a d609-56a in here. Sorry guys, carry on while I wake up. I have know idea what this thread's about but I do have that Excel spread sheet @Walter Moore put together and it has the d611-54.

If they're from ztherapy there most likely SMs unless you specified different. Post #11 has some info. The fat end has a stamp number if I remember right. So you'd have to pull them to see. https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59153-modified-su-carb-needles-for-l28/#comment-537325

Here's a screen grab from the "efi and fuel" of the link I posted last. It's under the 2nd "fuel pump" heading. Thank you and I hope you had a nice Easter Sunday too.

The races! Thats what have to be driven down and seated. Not the bearings. Sorry.

I'm sorry. I can't really say from the video. That aren't too expensive if I remember right so I suggest new, since your there. I remember using the old ones to drive in the new ones, I think. It's been some years ago. Maybe a big socket to get the old ones out?

Less is best.

No you do not. Zed Head helps so many people in different threads it gets confusing sometimes. I do it all the time.

http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/frontwheelbearings/index.html I went by this. I use lacquer thinner for degreaser. Good luck

It sounds like a fuel problem to me also. It may be the coolant sensor problem that is so common on the EFI cars. I had to do mine and now it runs great. Here's a link that explains it. Mine ran like crap up to about 2,500 RPM then started pulling good the rest of the way up. https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html Have you installed a cheap clear plastic filter coming right out of the fuel tank to check for any trash in the tank? That's an easy way to see what kind of shape your tank is in plus it's another filter for these old cars. Here's the link I followed to do my '77. It goes before the pump so it's a cheap low pressure filter. https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm Here's the Tech Tip page, very useful. Lots of good pictures too. https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/ I haven't a clue about covering the hole on your throttle stop dash pot but I've always read it should be "open to the atmosphere"??? Anyway someone smarter will chime in and say. Engine bay looks great and welcome to classiczcars.com. Cliff

Charlie Sheen's?

@Racer X would you have any pics of the chambers after the porting? I have one I started grinding on after bigger valves were done but I got skeered I's gonna ruin a nice head. I'll get it out tomorrow maybe, it's cold down here. Damn near 40F out there now. Brrrrr... Take some photos of what I've done and what I need to do Sorry for the hijack @Wally but at least I didn't make any fellatio jokes. It was HARD.

http://xenonzcar.com/s30/heads.html https://datsunzgarage.us/heads/ Read the "p79 mods" page on datsunzgarage. That's pretty much the best, money wise and performance. Shave it pretty good and shims plus earlier valves. A lot of guys on here run that head modded that way. You can do all of that to get in the 10s on compression or just put flat tops in your block.

The new label he posted has that date. 4/1/2021
