  1. they have battery issues from this: https://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?687971-Lincoln-Viking-helmets-Junk
  2. There is a lot to setting up triple webers. In a nutshell: 1. Engine is in good order (valves, ignition, timing, plugs, wires, manifold sealing, etc). 2. Linkage is non-binding and has exactly the same start, stop, and throw distances on all 3 carbs. 3. The carbs are in good order. 4. The jets, chokes, fuel levels, series number, etc are the same on all carbs AND you are in the ball park for jet and choke sizes for your engine/application 5. You have the tools and knowledge to tune triple webers: http://240260280.com/Tech/Carbs/Weber/DCOE Theory Operation and Tuning.html Get one of these for sure: or

    More research: There is a #3 form a gasket: US Part Number: 80017 Canada Part Number: 80017 Permatex® Aviation Form-A-Gasket® No. 3 Sealant Liquid (The good old molasses) Two more non-hardening: Permatex® Super “300” Form-A-Gasket® Sealant Permatex® PermaShield™ Fuel Resistant Gasket Dressing & Flange Sealant (similar to Hylomar)

    I think most sealants will work fine. I always ensured the mating surfaces were clean and used the brown aviation sealant with no problems. I would not use any sealant on an engine where a solid blob can be hidden then come loose and clog a passage. Permatex make two nice gasket making sealants: Permatex® Form-A-Gasket® No. 1 Sealant (hard setting) Permatex® Form-A-Gasket® No. 2 Sealant (non-setting)<<< use this one if the aviation sealant molasses is not enough. The transmission plugs and switches are difficult to remove. The tapered threads do not seem to work loose and hold nearly too well. Some propane helps with that. To minimize this in the future. I use antiseize when reattaching with no probems. If I were racing, a blue thread locker and paint marker to identify rotation would be the way to go if safety wires were not available.
  5. Saw one this afternoon. Anyone know it?
  6. Very nice! Welcome to the 3 in 432!
  7. I have a 2003 S2000 that I am trying to sell. Not sure if it is of interest but I can throw it out for you or anyone else. Sebring silver with Red interior. No it does not come with Janet ?

  9. I'll have to check. My buddy owns it.
  10. I'm in Dallas. So close.
  11. We have an L20 in our Z Barn
  12. ~ 35% of the 1969 Z's, with date stamps, are known to exist today (thanks to @Carl Beck's database!!! ) I would guess the percentage increases with each subsequent year.

  14. Mike, I think that is the same made by Edsal you can really customize using parts from homedepot. I bought their beams and risers separately (96" high available) https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/search.html?q=edsal#!q=edsal https://www.homedepot.com/p/Edsal-72-in-H-x-77-in-W-x-24-in-D-3-Wire-Shelf-Steel-Storage-Rack-in-Black-ERZ772472WL3/206848007

  17. So the 432 "project" sold for ~$64K USD. It seemed like a fair price.
  18. I agree. Gav you will need an Oct 1970 240z engine from North America. L24-15XXX numbered engines would have been installed on some North American 240z's in Oct of 1970. The chassis would have been ~ HLS30-111XX to HLS30-117XX I wish I had one for you. I'll take a look at the pile of engines we have in the barns.

  21. My heart wanted it sooo much but not practical right now. Maybe I'll have $80,000USD when @dk240z gets bored of his ?
