I am thinking of Moelk, we have the same cam kit. Sorry.

I have schneiders stage 3. Its a very mild cam.

Mine is what MSA calls a stage 3 like Moelk's.

It's Schneiders 270/80F grind.  Sounds like I'll be using the E31 as I've planned all along. I'm not looking forward to grinding those .190" lash pads down to size, I think will be .175 or .180.

Thanks guys! 

Installed my Recaro seat I found on Craigslist. Feels and fits great. Put my 240Z sliders on it. Did not come with any.

 

 

Looks good.  How much space between the seat and steering wheel? It looks like it sits a bit higher than stock.

It does sit higher. I added all the plastic spacers on the bottom mounting studs. Easier for this these old legs to get in and out.

rebuilt 15/16 brake master cylinder

installed:
-- new rear brake hoses
-- new calipers
-- new brake booster
-- new brake master
-- new clutch master
-- new clutch slave
-- new clutch hose
-- new hose clips

Janet!  I need you to help bleed the clutch!

Waiting on front brake hoses to finish the brake job.  All new hydraulics will be a treat.  Blue always had a leaking booster so power brakes for a change will be nice.

 

- brembo brake rotors weathered the 10 years in the elements nicely; just surface rust

- Sumitomo S-12 calipers has rusted body and seized pistons

- clutch slave had rusted pin and a slight leak

- clutch master had a slight leak

- brake master had the top caps rusted

- rear drum brakes were great

Getting the 72 ready for motor extraction this weekend.  I don’t have plans to paint the car anytime soon but will go ahead and detail and respray under the hood, no better time than the present.

Had a clunk in the rear end on big bumps. Think I found out why! Other side was not much better.
