Their purpose is to keep the water from getting the door. They pressed against the glass on my 78 and I just installed a set on my El Camino and they press against the glass on it also.

....and I wouldn't use a file to clean them. You want to remove the corrosion but not the metal from the terminal. I used spray contact cleaner and a pipe cleaner.

I'm pretty sure he wants one that's LHD since he's in the Middle East.

:beer: for the

I always flush diffentials with..........differential oil. Did it on both the 280Z and the 810 soon after I purchased them. And I replaced it with regular dino lube. I only use synthetic on vehicles that call for it but that's just me.

I just came across another one. I'm looking at a 1982 GMC Caballero which is essentially a 1982 Chevrolet El Camino branded as a GMC. This would replace my daily driver Ford Ranger. That's the one PO put the stickers on that seem to cause Moonpup so much consternation no matter how many times I tell the stroy but I digress. Anyway, a Caballero is literally a 'horseman' in Spanish but the generally accepted meaning is 'gentleman'. There was a trim packacge available on the GMC Caballero known as the 'Diablo'. Thankfully (I think) the one I'm looking at doesn't have that package. But, in my limited Spanish, a Caballero Diablo is a 'gentleman devil'??

Not really true but always seems to come up in car name discussions. That would only work if the car was named 'No va' instead of 'Nova':http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/nova.asp

I've heard the story of Corvette being name after a Italian warship but I've never heard of Camaro having any type of translation. Always though it was just a 'made up' word. El Camino tranlates 'the road' or 'the way' in Spanish IIRC.

Not too familiar with anything beyond a 280ZX but no 75-83 Z or ZX I've ever seen has the fuel pump mounted inside of the tank.

I wonder if it floats.....it looks like it would have made a better boat than a car......

Generally speaking, I love E-types....that one, however, not so much.

I had forgotten about that chart. I guess I'll always be able to find my old Z (and truck) by clicking on 510 blue.

If it's stock, it's not a 5 speed at all, of any type. They weren't an option until 1977. Maybe he means that he has a 5 speed for it to replace the stock 4 speed?

I don't think so. IIRC, the Jim Cook that raced Nascar was murdered in the early 80s.

Inspection lid clips.

8/73-8/74 was considered 'early' (74) and 9/74-11/74 was considered 'late' (74.5). Going by the VIN, RLS30000001-RLS30060000 is 74 and RLS30060001-RLS30200000 is 74.5. The numbers for 2+2's are a little different.

I can only tie...also 3 out of the 5. But I've owned two Foxbody Mustangs and two Falcons. Someone offered me a free Fiero a couple years back but it needed more work than I was willing to put into it.

I'll have to read his posts to see what you guys are complaining about......as soon as I'm done looking at his avatar....

It's also discussed in this thread.

Why does he think it's a series one? Even so, if the rust isn't too bad it wouldn't be too bad a deal with the parts car also.

I bought some of the OEM blanks (KEY00-00056) about 5 or 6 years ago. They look exactly like the ones posted by siteunseen (with the 'N' and the words 'Nissan Motor'). The only difference was that the blanks didn't have the number stamped under the words 'Nissan Motor'.

Come to think of it, the 78 that I owned for 12 years had the same key(s) that siteunseen posted, IIRC. Been through a few vehicles since then. Member knarfrabot now owns that car and if it still has the same keys I sold it with in 2009, he could verify.

The West Covina Z makes me cringe for some reason......

No, I just meant in general.
