the thanks Mr Camouflage,

i need all this so my mecanic can finish my car, its an 82' 280ZX ill try & post a picture up for ya.....

ive never driven it yet, so it should be really cool, how would a L28 injected compare to and L26 with twin flat tops?

They are both auto's, my 260z 2+2 is the only zed ive driven so far, i hope the 280ZX will go as well....

anyone else know the rest?

thanks, mellow:dead:
