If you click on the STORE tab and scan down to the bottom row on the left, my wife's car has the red leather with grey suede inserts.

These are first quality, professional grade units and well...

Phenolitics are thermoset rather than thermoplastic and won't soften with heat. Might I suggest you form a piece of acrylic plastic to shape and mount LEDs with crazy glue feeding the leads to the...

Thanks Zed Head and siteunseen, That's is exactly what I was looking for. Looks like I'm off to Harbor Freight for a set of ramps.

Ok, I finally get around to refreshing my steering gear. Bought the standard TC bushing set from Black Dragon. It appears that the bushings will have a compression preload once they are installed and...

The original throttle linkage had a dash pot that limited how fast the throttle would close. The control valve for the dash pot is located on the balance tube above the forward carburetor. Your...

The overriders were American dealer add-ons. Mine came with a set. What is not correct is the driver side door strap. Straps only came on the passenger door. I believe a driver's strap would...

from the photos it looks like they extended the front frame rails.

If you read the text, you'll find the wheel base was extended 6". Not the simple bolt-on kit.

One of your side marker lights or turn signal lights may have the ground and power leads reversed causing a short through the light housing to the chassis ground. These wires are often dirty, or...

He's not talking about the hatch seals, but the Series I vent grills. There are scuppers inside the hatch that allow cabin air in while directing rain entering the vent grill to be directed to the...

Check with the local car parts store to see if they have tools to lend.

Are you relying on the tach to determine idle? My tach is 200 rpm high. I also have an automatic and found that if the idle is set too low you will stall intermittently from a stop.

It's a good...

Having owned a couple of early 510's new and now a Series I Z, I can assure you there was a lot of cross pollination between the two vehicles. This appears to be a nice re-convergence having rear...

MEK has more health issues than the others listed here.

MSDS list VOCs for the 3M Adhesive Cleaner is

Ingredient, C.A.S. No., % by Wt
HYDROTREATED LIGHT NAPHTHA (PETROLEUM), 64742-49-0, 30% - 60%
XYLENE, 1330-20-7, 30% - 60%
ETHYLBENZENE, 100-41-4,...

Researched the MSDS for contact cement and it listed the major solvent as Toluene (30-60%). Others solvents included Naphtha, which you've tried already, and MEK, which I would avoid.

Since acquiring my 1970 Series I 240Z two years ago, I have driven over 20,000 miles. So I guess it qualifies as a daily driver. Trailer queens are not for me. Part of the gestalt off a car involves...

One other point about dash caps. Since they sit on top of the old surface, they reduce the diameter of the instrument holes. This can make removal of the speedometer or tachometer problematic. This...

Zfever in Tampa offers a refurbishment for under $900.

I have no first hand experience with their process, but I have met the owner and they have an established business.

Diseazd,

Could we have a follow-up. What did you find?

The rubber termites strike again! Glad to hear you are getting back on the road.

My son was working on his M3 the other day and found he couldn't get his spring compressors in the space allowed in the strut tower. This is similar to the problems in our Z's.

He found a work...

Just how are you measuring your timing? Static timing or with a timing light?
And do you still have a stock distributor/ignition?
And what rpm?
Is the vacuum advance disconnected?
If you have...
