The bottom of the three bolts snapped off flush with my head as I was verifying torque. Is there much oil pressure in this area? I have a feeling there shouldn’t be too much oil flow there. My question is could I get away with a new gasket and maybe rtv ultra black and using the other two bolts until I want to drill it out. The bottom bolt in this pic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got that out but it took all day and ended up drilling out the bolt with a 90 degree drill it was horrible work other people have wedged blocks in there and knocked the bolt out but I didn’t have that luck. It’s basically a wedge pin like on the spindle pins Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whenever there is a does this look like this color thread it’s almost impossible to tell unless your there standing next to it, your camera takes at one color setting, your phone or laptop views it at another color setting, your brain interprets it at whatever it wants. I always say if it looks right to you it is what it is because that might not be the same color to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am using all stock ignition for a 78. And looking at these coils https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic11f02 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any brighter minds out there ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am trying to figure out what coil to use. The 78 doesn’t have the ballast resistor so is it the 1.5ohm or 3.0ohm I am looking at the pertronix coils. The verbiage is confusing because there is no stock ballast resistor Factory Electronic Ignition: 1974 and later Z's with original ignition should use this 1.5 Ohm coil as opposed to the PerTronix 3.0 Ohm coil, and also should retain the stock ballast resistor.

I think that half shaft must be a spare or something I am not sure why that picture is there, you can see in some of the other pictures the half shafts look clean and painted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
