Perfect! LOL

He's already got a heat sink and ductwork w/cooling fan hooked up directly to a hood vent ;-)

Now I have to watch every episode in case someone asks why he is driving a near 40 year-old car to see...

Okay so I watched the second episode, of course no Z. But wait, what's that in next week's preview?!?!?! Its a Z car tearin' ass out of a beach parking lot, with the main guy at the wheel! Hey......

You should've said "you should have noticed it first, that's the view from the passenger seat!" :)

Yes, the Z was indeed realistic :) At the end of the show when he hands the homeland security agent their list of demands for becoming employees, one of the things was "cool cars" or something to...

LOL yeah well, I hadn't gotten to that point in the show when I originally posted :D When I saw that I was like "I don't care if its a Ferrari on a runway, the handling at 200 MPH would be squirrely...

When I saw a commercial for this show a few weeks ago, there was a half-second interior shot of a guy holding a familiar steering wheel... sure enough, now that its aired, in the show's pilot he's...

I'll check the plugs again (they're new) after running this way for a couple hundred miles. I need to get some new float bowl gaskets and sight glass setup from ZT so that I can the float levels set...

I guess the answer to that would be "normal": I use the same NGK BP6ES plugs that I've always used i.e. the "recommended Z car plug" :-)

I found a dense closed-cell foam, came in 1/8" thickness, cost me $100 for the roll but I got enough do 4 or 5 Z's. I put it under my carpets and behind every panel. I also used cheap butyl for...

That's the other weird thing, my plugs almost always read about the same. Might be due to the hot coil and MSD box....

I missed that full throttle had no issues. What are you using for damper oil?

No evidence of timing scatter, it looks to be rock solid.
I decided to go back to the basics and check my carb balance and fuel mixture. Its been a while since I watched my z therapy tuning video,...

I was having a bugger of a time figuring out why I had lean ping (sounds like shaking a spray paint can) under load until I found that my front crab's float level was way lower than the rear. All...

Update: re-cleaned battery terminals and grounds, put some protectant on the posts, and replaced the terminal clamps.
Checked my plugs and remembered that I opened up the gap wiiiiiide to like .75...

Thanks djwarner, that's a very straightforward explanation of how to check the vacuum advance.
Yes, I may be focusing a little too much on the distributor, but that's what my gut is telling me...

Thanks madkaw, I will double-check grounds and connections. Stock dizzy (rebuilt).

Last summer, I noticed I had some pinging under load (up a gentle hill in 4th or 5th gear) while driving home from a show in Rochester. When I checked my timing the next day, it was dead on what I...

Yes, I still have the stock Horn fuse in place (which is 10A, but the horns are 5.5A each) and if/when I try the Hella relay I will use a 20A inline fuse between the relay and batter per the...

No worries ollie, what's 6-1/2 years between posts? :-) Just consider youself lucky :)

Y'know, that's what I ended up doing today too just to see if it would work/blow a fuse, etc..... And they are pretty darn loud. I wasn't expecting them to be a single tone though. Anyway, I think...

I just got some Hella twin power horns from Griot's, and they came with a relay too. Did you ever figure out the answer?

This probably isn't the case since your Pertronix hasn't had much use, but check the plastic "tape" around the Pertronix ring that goes beneath the rotor. If one of the magnets has come out, you will...

I bought the version that had 2 hoods and 2 hoses - my brother wanted to be in on the experience, but the timing didn't work out. I think I put both of my hoses together, and put the pump inside my...

I bought a Hobbyair with a direct feed hood (positive pressure) and a pack of lens protectors. Relatively affordable, good visibiblity, and comfortable. When I was shooting the color and clear on my...
