Big car week here in Pittsburgh. The Vintage Grand Prix has been going of now for 30 years. Getting bigger and bigger. There is a huge car show with mainly foreign cars of all shapes and sizes each nationality were divided in to areas around a golf course. Lots of racing of mainly foreign cars that are pre WWII. Two Z were raced this year, I don't know who the drivers were.

The race is in a large city park on the park roads, the course is 2.33 miles with 3 turns close to 180 degrees.

We had in the Datsun/Nissan at the Asian location about 17 Z cars, there were 4 - 73's, 1 - 76, 1 - 77, 1 - 82 and the rest were 2003 and up. We had one 1600 roadster. Here are a couple of picture's from that.

This years Mark car was the MG and there had to be around 300 on Saturday, the car big show day.

On Wednesday before the weekend there is a parade with cars driving through the city going to 4 different location in downtown. I drove my car to the location at PPG (Pittsburg Plat Glass office building) Place a couple of pictures from there. Only Japanese car in the parade.

Rebuilt first of three 40DCOE151's. Even installed a new throttle shaft in the puppy.

btw new return spring is a must when refreshing a weber DCOE.

FYI plastic float came in at 19.45g

Blue that is just amazing! Looking forward to your 151 setup. Keep those pics coming.

Can you tell us what method you used when you first started your engine during break in?
