Happy Holidays to all. Enjoy and most important be safe. Hope everyone gets their wishes.Love your new avatar Alfa dog Vicky and Scott

No, no, no Carl. Scott needs assistance with installing the MSD 6AL in his 77 280Z. No mods to Ol' Yeller. Can anybody reply with help installing MY Christmas gift on HIS car. Vicky

OK here's my question to anyone who has ever installed a MSD 6AL ignition system on a L28 with a Mallory Unilite Distributor: Do I just follow the wiring diagram in the instuctions, if so will I encounter any problems or need additional parts in order to make it run correctly? The Mallory distributor is a 37 Series Breakerless / Part # 4563901. Need input!!! Vicky needs MORE HORSEPOWER! Thankz Scott

It was a sunny 75+ degrees yesterday here in Florida. Now we're going to get back handed by your northern cold front which will give us only rain. The snow is beautiful..........as long as it's on your lawn and not mine Does anybody even put "snow tires" on the vehicles up there anymore? Vicky

Chris, "Super-Glue" is a staple in our bag of tricks that we take along to all Z events. You never know when a part will fall off Vicky

Sure thing Jeff, its 727-531-3577. Vicky

Chris there is a superb place in Clearwater called Alert Bumper. Scott had the 72 rear bumper re-chromed there and the work is flawless. We told them this is a concours vehicle and that's what we got, absolutley beautiful. Turn around time was about a week, price was around $250.00 (back in 2001). They come highly recomended by some very respected collectors we know. Plus it's close by. No shipping for you. Just a thought. Vicky

Makes as in other Nissan makes? That would be OK IMO. Motorsport of California also (or at least used to) sells Miata parts too. MSA is very reputable. Do they have any kind of disclaimer about a return policy. That way if you don't like your purchase it can be sent back. "Nismo" is Nissans performance end so I would tend to think that the company would be legit. I don't think Nissan would allow the use of "Nismo" on anything that they weren't involved in. But I guess you never know. Vicky

The firing order is correct right? Vicky

Carl said the "F" word Vicky

Whoa, whoa, whoa there Alan. I did not in any way mistake your comment. I WAS wrong in calling the car a "350Z". My error. The icon of the club over the head is for me. Thank you for setting me straight :classic: Did I say you were trying to score points off of someone????? Now that confuses me Vicky

OK, I'm sorry. I guess I should have said "Did the Z win". Geez :stupid: Vicky P.S. jmark, your freshly painted Z looks fantastic

Did the 350Z win in California this weekend? Vicky

Previous JGTC info for Victor Vicky

Right back at you Chris and also to everyone else I'm getting an MSD 6AL ignition from the Santa that rides in a Z not a sled. Vicky

Nice christmas present for yourself or should I say for your Z Tom. Congrats and that will make for a happy new year indeed! :classic: Vicky

That's classic Carl! Let the Holiday Humour begin :laugh: Vicky

PM'd you Art Vicky

Dave, I just love your Z. The hood vents modification is great. Can you shoot a picture of them looking down towards the front so I can see what they look like from inside the car (when you have time). I'd like to know the rim and tire sizes, front and back please. ZRush wants new shoes for Christmas and I'm trying to get ideas. Vicky

I'm not a fan of Nascar, I'm a lover of CART and drag racing. Came across this bit of info on drag cars. I know most of you guys know this but I thought I'd post it anyway. According to the NHRA Communications Department, nitromethane-powered engines on NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars produce more than 6,000 horsepower, about 43 times that of the average street car. One cylinder of the eight cylinders of a Top Fuel dragster or a Funny Car produces 750 horsepower, equaling the entire horsepower output of a NASCAR engine. As for the engines's fuel appetite, nitro cars consume between 4 and 5 gallons of fuel during a quarter-mile run, which is equivalent to between 16 and 20 gallons per mile. Add in the burnout and backup and you're in the 12 gallon range. The cost for the fuel is now $35 per gallon. To keep the dragster on the ground, the large rear wing on an NHRA Top Fuel dragster develops between 4,000 and 8,000 pounds of down force and the drag tires are good for only about six runs. Amazing, at least to me it is :classic: Vicky

The 77 gets gallons per mile rather than miles per gallon . I never really thought of the Z car as a gas saver, so to speak, even back in the 70's. Now, I'm not comparing the car to 70's V-8's but how did the Z match up to other vehicles of simular (I know, I know, there's none to us) class back then? Triumphs, TVR's, The pitiful Mustang II, etc. Vicky

I purchased that video about 3 years ago from the A&E Channel. I don't recall to much 350Z info on that tape but it's been awhile since I watched it. Maybe it was on there and I just fast forwarded it . Vicky
