Unkle

This nice gentleman you all speak of was in my driveway 2 months ago . Stood me up 4 times over the past 2 years or so ,2 no shows on a car, and 2 no shows on a parts car. Finally he showed , and offered a whole $200 Canadian after wasting my time ''going over '' the car .

No . You used the word " Wabbies ", you blew it.

Up here they can go over $750.00 polished , not bent, with the caps . Really hard to come by , why sell ? Good old school stuff should be kept for later !:pirate:

You forgot your '' smilies '' in your last flame ............

If you have your ignition assembly removed from the column, look at it around the cap area ( cap = the on/off/lock/access round stainless part ). You will see 2 or three small roll pins . These have to be removed correctly by drilling a small hole right next to them , and pry them up with a sharp scratch awl or such. Then the whole plug assembly will pull out of the housing . Then, replace and reverse the disassembly. About 10 minutes for an experienced person or locksmith..... don't attempt if you haven't done this before , as you can butcher it easily. Let your buddy do it ! :classic:

Wierd ! I guess the last few Scottsdale auctions had the reserve option - probably a thing of the past now . I definately remember seeing them remove ''reserve'' on a few cars to sell them !

I admit I like watching this show. Hey Montoya , are you sure there's a '' no reserve '' on these cars ? I've seen the bidding come close to reserve, and the owners remove it to sell . Imagine starting a '60's Kentucky Special Corvette at no reserve , or any one of Reggie Jackson's cars with no reserve ! Yeah , it's all glitz and booze and money , kind of like a fancy car wreck- you just gotta watch ! I like the English guy's preamble on the Italian cars , those beautiful Ferraries and such .... , and I especially love the sound some of these machines make - the whole crowd there shuts up and listens !

Friggin phone number right on the add. Yeah, I know, phoning is so old school..........

Did someone think just to ask the seller ? :rambo: I just phoned him, he said NO not a turbo , mistake made by him , selling the car for his brother , car is sold .

You've now fully explained what's involved - I was STILL not sure if you supplied the actual red lenses , or just the plug in lights . The description got convoluted in my brain I think . Please give me the mailing particulars . Also, a stand alone ebay style pic would have nipped this whole 'half flame' in the bud , no ? Do you take paypal ? Regards, dummy from up North.

Not trying to flame you, can you then explain the cost of $225.00 ? And that's with a ''core'' exchange ? Holy crap , am I missing something ?

Will these fit a really early Z without mods ? Are these '' plug and play " ? I'm interested, can you pm me ?

Yes you are correct sir ! dAt-sun , never the american ''dot - sun ''. Celeeeca , never '' selika '' like the americans say. Roooof , never '' ruf '' or whatever that word they say ! 240 ZED , not zeeeeeee . And so on , eh ? :rambo:

Time to move out ! At 20 (happy birthday) you should consider getting your own place . You'll look back and think this was all so trivial , and then think crap, my rent is due tomorrow....... . Sorry to Judge Judy your butt , think of it this way : You are getting nit picky with your family , and expending too much energy on what everybody else in your family does and thinks . Things WILL change , but only if you bugger off and find your own place !

Dual choke / hand throttle lever assemblies, Grey dash finishers ( real early ), DOHC motors , Anything Works related , Red dot rear view mirrors, Chrome 240z badges, :disappoin .........my youth

Too many reruns of Benny Hill ........

Since I don't know Tyler's abilities / age / competence etc. , any advice dealing with possible hot parts is given as carefully as possible ! Enrique , you putz , you just repeated what I said using twice as many words ! I've come across several twisted cam drivers , putting the timing out just enough to cause those symptoms he described . Oh, but I bow to you using the word ' bakelite '. Wow .

CAREFULLY remove the electrical round 'switch' off of the back of your ignition assembly. Maybe even disconnect the battery cable first to prevent shock/short. Look at the way this switch works. That slot you see could be worn, or the cam that drives the switch could be bent , or the 'switch' could be shot . Replace it if you can find one . Remember to 'time' it correctly with the cam driver , or it won't work . Let us know !

Hi Victor - I've just purchased a 1967 L520 pickup , are there any websites / clubs that I should know about ?
