Houston Z owners roll call. I have parts

[Zedyone_kenobi]

Hello fellow Houston Texas area Z owners.  I have cleared out my storage unit and I will be liquidating some of my excess Z and roadster parts.  Keeping what I deem critical. 

 

I have a recently rebuilt type B 4 speed with about 2000 miles on it. 

I have a 1971 Z orange airbox

I have a polished manifold for SU's

I have a like new Cannon manifold for some Webers that I ran for a while and looks good. 

Have a 1971 Z radiator in good shape as well. 

Have many sets of spark plug wires and other odds and ins as well.   I have a couple of distributers and ballast resisters.

 

If any Houston area Z owners are in need of anything, Mostly engine related, but do not hesitate to hit me up. 

 

I also have the original engine/transmission from my 1971 Z that was in perfect working order when I pulled it.  Those I may not sell. As I want them to go with the car.  But anything is possible 🙂

While not in Houston I am just up the road in Austin.  Post pictures of what you have...I may see something in there I "must" have.  😉

[Zedyone_kenobi]

Will do.  Will try to get them uploaded tonight. 

Stay tuned.

My issue my parts are so random.  Have some peculiar stuff.

I think @Wally is a newcomer to the forum who lives in your neck of the woods.

good to know, was hoping to get some Z new guys who really need some help.

I have drawers full of grommets, turn signals, turn stalks, and other parts.

I have three distributers. One Original, and one has a pertronix unit in it I think. I will have to get the numbers on them if you like.

Oh....what are you inspired to do?

Just my opinion but....I think that your numbers matching engine will contribute more value to the selling price of your car (when you sell some day) than it will ever bring by selling it separately.

I am not planning on selling the engine.  I am actually going to clean it and rebuild it  maybe. It does not leak and never burned any oil.  I wonder if I should just clean it and store it or if I should just take it apart (for fun mostly) and put new OEM rings and bearings and let it go to the next owner.  I have the original A type 4 speed too, which also worked perfectly.

I would just store it, keep the cam lobes oiled, keep cylinders oiled, and rotate it periodically.

Focus on my Zs again. I lived and breathed them for 10 years then things changed and I lost my "inspiration".
