If they didn't come with instructions, little lube, press them in with a vice, side at a time, do not hammer them in. I used a very strong magnet near the cir-clip to catch the flying part. Worked well with instalation also, dropped it 3 times, went to the magnet, not the floor. Bonzi Lon

This has some good information, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28449&highlight=pertronix+ballast+resistor. It appears you leave out the ballast resistor if using Pertronix. I thought you still had the point system. Bonzi Lon

The resurection of my 73 was like yours except mine sat for 28 years between fireings. Your right, what a fun day that was. Bonzi Lon

I have several different sized syringes (without needles), found at the drug store, I use around the shop. The smallest is 2cc, perfect for fitting into the carb top opening, and pre-measured at 2cc for putting oil back in. The larger 20cc are used for brake and clutch masters so not to run old fluid through the lines or make a mess, sucks them dry. The largest ones can be fitted with a tube, also at drug store, for topping off or filling the tranny and diff. And many other applications. Bonzi Lon

ConchZ, my 7-73 choke label is about the same shape as yours, however I can barely see the 'hok' now. It was readable in 77 but not like the perfect example 2 fast 2 Z shows, thank you for that photo. Bonzi Lon

Put me on the map, Arnie. I'm on the hiway right next to the Rail Road tracks, they removed in 1998. Thank you, Bonzi Lon

Welcome Jusjofok: I'm just a half hour west, great distance for a shake down cruise, for either of us. The Branson Z Fest is the end of May, something to shoot for as Cousin David and I are going. We also have a few toys, between us a dozen Nissans, mostly Z's. He just picked up a 69 Patrol with 38K. Will send a PM when I get off work. Bonzi Lon

My feelings about nitrous has always been, "its just a button for destruction." Bonzi Lon

The Interpart louvers have a rubber bumper on each slat, (1980) and that is a funky key. Its funny that when I bought HLS30-00110 it came with the very same louvers without the key. Here are the rest of the New Old Parts from 1980. Quarter louvers, quick steering knuckles, electric window motors, rear 3 piece spoiler (sold), front spook w/ducts and rear louvers. I haven't made up my mind what parts should go on, if at all. Bonzi Lon

Here is what the box looked like in 1980 when shipped. There is a new set in the box. Bonzi Lon

I was a 14 year old gas station attendant in 1970. The rich kid in high school got a new Z for graduation, so to show it off he smoked the tires on the lot. I was impressed. First import that I saw do this, and so cool looking to boot. In 1977 I spotted my 73 on a used car lot and bought it on the spot, ($2600 and my Ford 4X4) with a phone call to my banker. Drove it until 1980, had the engine rebuilt at the dealership. A friend talked me into a piant job, (for money he owed me) so he got up to primer then quit, didn't get my money either. No cash to finish so put in storage until 2006 when I got an intrest to get it out of storage and refurbished it for antique status in 2008, and did. I turn 54 in July, but the strange thing is, every time I'm behind the wheel of my Z, it is 1979 and I am 24. Bonzi Lon

I think the canvas covered one would work fine. No one would want to break into it if it had graphics on the side stating "Stewart & Sons Sewer Sucking Service". Bonzi LOn

I need a set for my 73. Every time I touch them another piece breaks off. They are useless now. I need a new set for summer to go with the 2-80 air-conditioning. 2 windows down - 80 mile-an-hour. Bonzi Lon

You can count on Cousin David and myself to be there. Bonzi Lon

I asked an old timer, old school, mechanic, gear-head this question yesterday and his reply was quick, "Nevr-Dull". Bonzi Lon

My 7/73 is the 3 screw type. Bonzi Lon

Garagegoon, I saw that too, but have no more room. Let me know what you find. Where is Mickey's Zpeedshop? I'll be bringing the Z to Wichita soon and want to stop by. Bonzi Lon

Very nice Mike. Another beautiful blue car saved. I now know what #110 'could' look like. Bonzi Lon

I think the correct air freshener was the one shaped like a gas pump for the smell of raw gas or the one shaped like a muffler for that wonderful exhaust aroma. Bonzi Lon

Heres what they look like side by side on the car. The blue one is a 7/73 and the black one is a 12/69 (#110). Bonzi Lon

Mine was acting up after sitting for 26 years. I removed, cleaned and greased every ball and socket joint from the foot feed to the carb connecting shaft. So much smoother now. Bonzi Lon

I never really had any trouble with the 'clips' breaking as much as I did with the thin area of fiberboard breaking or being mangled that surrounded the clips. Just prod carefully. Bonzi Lon

I've heard nothing but good on the E12-80 module. I'm still running points, but if the change comes, it will be with the E12-80. Bonzi Lon

The part numbers I wrote down the other day from a post on here was: Wiper Blades B6370-E4100. Bonzi Lon
