Hey now, we only whined about one thing (my comment about the Irwins was JOKE!). And besides, the Pacific Ocean is too big for us to get into a Pissing Contest with you guys! Bro's in Arms, Remember! Carl

I'm not the best person to answer this one completely, but I'll start. It does not use pushrods, which would be long rods that transfer the motion dictated by the cam-lobes to the valve-stems, to allow the engine to breathe (inhale & exhale). Very basically, an Over Head Cam is a more simple and efficient design for operating the valves than a Push Rod (non Over Head Cam)design.

Yep!

I know where the Gallery is. If I want to look at pictures (and wait for the download) I rather make that choice. Count me as a 56k modem voice against it. Sorry, Carl

I saw a few of them sell, even bid on one, but didn't get it. the Premier Issue of ZCar went for $16 and change. He may post the ones that didn't sell again

The auctions ended around noon time PST

Remove and Clean Battery cables, and clean Battery posts.

Keith: Have you tried more than one bulb in the socket? COULD it possibly be a bad bulb? Does the other turn signal work? Have you swapped bulbs? I've purchased new bulbs before, and gotten a "lemon". BTW, is the socket clean and shiney, or all rusted up? I'm not expert, but I can't imagine what else could be the problem.

Much better picture!.................and a nice looking steering wheel! Well Done!

Maybe a picture on a light colored background would help? I can't see it well enough to judge.

But can you take Steve Irwin, the Croc Hunter back home, PLEASE! (we'll agree to keep his wife since she is from the US ) They're exported to the US because some TV exec. was :stupid: enough to buy them and the advertisers agreed to pony up the cash!

In the USA the steering wheel spokes were black. Not sure if its supposed to be gloss or matt. The lettering on the glove box is white. I had an article describing reconditioning of the steering wheel, but can't find now. If can locate it, I'll post later. Sorry

I've never heard of a 6 speed trans that will bolt up to an L-series motor. Has anyone else heard of one?

that would be "You're" Dave: I'm not sure what's up with this last post on the Iraq deal, but isn't it better to have dialog, even if it doesn't agree with our perceptions of what is correct? Exposure to differing views can offer enlightenment, or modification of ones views....or not. It could be worse.........well, maybe not; after all the electoral college gave us our "fearless leader" that supported ENRON and the energy traders that RAPED California, and that's leading us to war. I still have no change, so this one's a freebie.

I think he gets his inspiration from reading Porn and Travel Brochures while smoking some killer Paka'lo'lo (Hawaiian green buds). But he won't share with the rest of us

Is this really needed? What can they provide that eBay does not? Carl PS eBay is in the San Jose, CA area

I had hoped I wouldn't live long enough to see/hear of this sort of thing again.

It looks too good for $1500. Does it have a salvage title or something? Maybe it's just me, but.........every Z I've found in that price range has been either a major rust bucket or had a "front clip" grafted onto a wrecked Z body, or some other severe problem. I wish you luck on this, but keep your eyes open! Buy with your brain & not your heart. Carl

You really should share whatever it is that you've been smoking with the rest of us! LOL

Next Time Try a Taxi 2002 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (11 August 1999, Texas) Noel, 31-year-old Houston man spotted a truck left running as its driver filled jugs with filtered water from a vending machine. Little did he idiot realize that four children were still occupying the truck. Noel hopped inside. The mother heard a scream, and turned to see her truck speeding away. Police soon spotted the truck, sparking off a two-hour chase on the freeways of Houston. The chase came to a dramatic conclusion as the truck reached a 150-foot overpass. With police in hot pursuit, the truck accelerated from 75 to 90 mph, and Noel stuck his head out the window as he steered towards the right-side rail. He shifted into neutral, and tried to jump from the window, over the guardrail, and into the ocean below. Noel failed to notice the chain link fence installed to prevent that very occurrence. Just as the truck sideswiped the guardrail, the chain link fence slammed into Noel's skull, ripping "what was left of him" out the window. Adding insult to injury, his corpse was crushed by a large truck that had been following close behind. The young occupants of the car suffered only minor scrapes and bruises. Incidentally, if Noel had survived the impact with the chain link fence, and the 15-story free fall to the water below, he would still have been in trouble. The water was less than a foot deep beneath the overpass. Chainsaw Slingshot 2002 Personal Account (2001, Michigan) The following story was related to me during a session of injury one-upsmanship. A casual acquaintance related an adventure suffered by her husband. A furious wind had knocked a susceptible tree limb across the electricity lines behind the house, and the line was bent into an alarming parabola. (Check -- is it a different curve?) Our hero Joe, not intimidated by the thought of combining live wires, wet fallen branches, aluminum ladders, and chainsaws, decided to remove the limb from the wire himself. Enlisting the aid of a buddy, he balanced the ladder against the taut wire, climbed up, fired up the chainsaw, and carefully commenced cutting. Joe had almost managed to free the limb, and only one more cut was needed before the entire limb fell to the ground, releasing the wire. Those who watch Road Runner cartoons know what happens when a tight wire is released. The final cut was made, the limb fell, and to Joe's mystified dismay, the wire sprang back to its original position. The force lifted the ladder several feet into the air, along with its brave but surprised chainsaw-wielding occupant. The ladder slipped away, and Joe fell against the wire, knocking the chainsaw into his face, and missing his carotid artery by mere inches. Our bleeding Darwin Award nominee managed to throw the chainsaw away from himself, preventing further injury from that source, but no amount of arm flapping could postpone his inevitable encounter with the ground. Fortunately, Darwinian laws are not absolute, and Joe managed to survive with a only broken leg and some stitches. Hopefully, he was also left with the knowledge that what goes down must come up, and that some things that should be left to train professionals -- even if you do own a ladder and a chainsaw. Fuzzy Fights Back 2002 Personal Account (2002) I was helping my brother move his collection of amusing newspaper clippings from his days as a journalism major, when we came across one that's right up your ally. Mr. Fritz Dekker, a 41-year-old visitor to an Amsterdam zoo, found his way to the bear exhibit. A bystander remembers Fritz asking whether the bear was a male or female. Nobody knew, so Fritz Dekker decided to find out for himself. Fritz climbed over the 7-foot fence and jumped into the enclosure. Despite urgent calls from the crowd, Fritz approached the bear in question. The 390-pound adult was quietly occupied with a ball, and unaware of the intruder. Amazingly, Fritz was able to take an unobtrusive peek under the hood. Still perplexed, Fritz tried to determine the animal's gender experimentally by delivering a good, hard kick between its legs. Our friend Fuzzy turned out to be a male, and responded to the assault in a typical male bear fashion. He roared in pain, and charged towards Fritz, who attempted to defend himself with a hasty karate kick in the general direction of the bear while he ran for the fence. This brilliant defense tactic failed completely, and Fuzzy proceeded to occupy the next few minutes mauling Fritz "Bear Ball Buster" Dekker to death. Zoo keepers arrived promptly, but not promptly enough to save the life of the ill-fated Fritz. Several rounds of tranquilizer darts later, the subdued bear was taken to the onsite veterinarian. Fritz was, of course, pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy shed no light on the reason for Fritz's actions. There were no drugs or alcohol in his system, and his family reported that he was not suicidal, nor did they know of any mental defects other than "an exaggerated sense of bravado." Apart from a pair of badly swollen testicles, the bear was uninjured.

If we cannot find these WMD's that he supposedly has not destroyed, where is the UN's "proof" that he did not? The UN sanctions may require proof that he does not have WMD, but in order to gain the support of the world for an invasion, proof that he DOES have them seems to be necessary. NO, we (the UN) do not have to take his word for the destruction of WMD. The UN has the right to go in and inspect, and search for them; but the UN and not the USA is the one who should act to force the issue. It's not a slam dunk tha the UN will act. Yet, OLD BUSHY vows to send the USA in anyway. It isn't his place to do so without a mandate from the UN. Of course his two drunk/drugged daughters won't be the ones marching off to war, it will be people of Stryder's age group who will risk shedding blood. Now, when there is UN support for an invasion, we should take Saddam out "with extreme malice". But not until then. This is my last $.02; I'm out of change, Whew!! :tapemouth Carl Peace everyone! (with an Iron Glove, and a Lead Blackjack at the ready!!)

Rick: Some of us are old enough to remember that the Aussies, and a very few others were therfe with us. Their (your) contributions were and still are appreciated. However the sad thing is that none of us should have been there in the first place. Which is another reason that I feel we should be damn sure of what this one is all about before we start a war. Regards, Carl

A very good point Fred! and well taken.

Probably were recovered by a local upholstery shop. Many of us back in the day would have them redone locally and almost all of those were done without the breathers (vents).

and what does that tell you??????? Without french bread? better off? interesting thought! Most of the developed world owes the US money but that doesn't seem to be buying us much support. What does that tell us?
