Thanks for the info guys-really appreciate it!

So was the ballest resistor just left there to connect the 2 wires together?

Do you happen to know what wire connects where? I'm a little confused. They both would not be on the same post at the coil would they?

Would anyone know? we have a 260 with an engine (L28) from a ZX, with carbed head installed. The distributor has electronic spark instead of points. Where should the tach signal come from? I believe currently it is still connected to the negative post on the coil, yet the tach does not function. I personally have not been to the car yet to assist my friend. Any help would be greatly appreciated

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building. So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?" The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 -These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more, further up!" And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men here. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day. _ :classic:

A 75 year old man went to his doctor to get a sperm count. The doctor gave the man a jar and said,"Take this jar home and bring me back a semen sample tomorrow." The next day, the 75 year old man returned to the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened, and the man explained, "Well, doc, it's like this.....First I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then her left, still nothing. She even tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still nothing. We even called up Arlene, the lady next door, and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeez'n it between her knees, but still nothing. The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor" The old Man replied, yep, but no matter what we tried, with our arthritis, we still couldn't get the jar open. :classic:

When I spoke about the "tips" on the lobe, The correct name is the Apex seals. If you happen to replace that motor with a used, I recommend you change the rear main crank seal. They have a history of leaking.

NASTY!!!!!! ROFL Thank god for the towel!

Regardless of size, if you don't know how to use it, it aint worth nothin. That pic is the new advertising for "French Prickler"

Yeh, I agree, the parents are to blame. But sometimes I think the parents are proud of it (Oh my big boy!) Up here in the midwest, this is a common sight:cry: It can actually make your eyes hurt

The RX7 has a rotary engine. Take a compression check. If the compression is low (under 150psi) the engine internally is worn. The motor does not half a conventional valve train, instead it works with a lobe system with a ceramic lined crankcase. The lobes do have replaceable "tips" which is a rubber type material, yet even replacing these, does not, bring back all the compression due to the worn ceramic. The gen 1 cars were actually first sold to the original owner with a certificate that when taken to the dealer they would install a new engine at like 60k miles. The quality of the gen 2 rotary was much better and some have been known to run well above 150k without a problem, yet they are FI, not carbed. My personal opinion is the carbed engines created too much carbon in the engine and would wear the ceramic and the lobe tips out. I know you can find a bunch of info on the web for these motors, yet I do not know about the availibity of relined/rebuilt engines. When they loose compression they will run like crap. The advantage being they are small and light, it does not take much effort to remove and replace an engine in the gen 1 cars.
