Hello all,

I have been lurking here for a couple of months, thought it was about time to join the "club". I have a 76 that I am in the process of totally tearing down to fix some rust and re-building. In the mean time, I have been transferred to the Roanoke, VA area. Are there any Z clubs or gatherings here? I was formerly a member of the GeorgiaZ Club. Hoping to hook up with some Z people in this area.

Later.

I suppose I need to change my name now

Hey there, and welcome to the forum!

I don't know of any Z clubs in Roanoke, but I have heard there's an ultimate Z guru living in the Star City. His business is the "Z Doctor" and he's been referenced a bunch of times on various Z-related tech sites. Google search shows this info:

Z Doctor

420 Rorer Ave SW

Roanoke, VA 24016-3616

(540) 343-1332

He is particularly mentioned with having a good way to make the P79 head a higher CR head while maintaining good cam geometry and timing, but if he can do that I'm sure he can do almost any other repair/project most of us Z car owners would have need to be done.

Good luck!

Steve

Interesting link....shows three groups there in the Roanoke Valley, 2 formed and one forming?...maybe they should all get together! The ZCCA homepage doesn't list them, so hopefully they are just getting started!

Yes, it is odd that there is so many clubs of the same origin but your right thwy should make one club Z club of NVA
