    I need to get to work on my 5-twentyone, but not today, its going to be 110 degrees. Bonzi Lon
  2. Last Sunday I took a four county, 130 mile cruise to see what was 'new on the farm', just 13 miles south of town. This is the beginning of Kansas' largest wind farm, it will start with 300+ towers covering 66,000 acres, with plans for up to 2400 towers. Each tower has a hub height of 213 feet and rotor diameter of 271 feet, turning a 1.6mw generator. Quite an impressive sight. Bonzi Lon

    Nissan part #11026-61000, (replaces 11026-00002) Washer. I got several on my last order from Courtesy. They seem to last over a time if not over torqued. I also have a very strong magnet attached to the drain plug, just to look at each oil change, the trans & diff are already magnatized. Bonzi Lon
  4. Ron Finch is 'one of a kind'. Saw one of his bikes in the mid 70's, and knew then he was playing with a different deck. Bonzi Lon

    What would a New In Box one be worth? The guy from Canada looking for the NOS for the front of a 73 a month ago found one. Bonzi Lon
  6. I'll second that. Bonzi Lon
  7. The 'reaction time' is the amount time it takes from when the light turns green to when your front wheels break the beam. Where you place your wheel between the beams makes a difference, there will be a small amount of space from pre-stage to staged, then a shorter distance if you knock out the top light. It all comes down to practice, practice, practice in the real experience. Bonzi Lon

    I fell in love with it when I was 8 from a magazine advertisement, always heard stories about that supercharger, never got to see car in person until my early 20's. Raymond Loewy was quite the designer. Bonzi Lon

    Might try weed eater string in the larger holes, fill with carb cleaner while working the tool of your choice, may take several, small to larger. The return line has a smaller hole to keep the correct fuel pressure with the mechanical pump, do not alter the size of this hole. Bonzi Lon
  10. I made the 680 mile round trip to the Branson Z-Fest for the 5th time. A very unique 4 day event / car show in a fantastic location for spirited driving, let alone everything else going on in that town. The car averaged 26.8 mpg, the engine has 11k miles since the rebuild, 5k since the new rebuilt carbs. The 4 speed made it sound so nice at 3k to 3.5k rpm. Bonzi Lon

    Yes, that is the color # I used for the grille, wheel covers and tail finisher, except mine got 2 light coats of clear matt finish. Toned the 'metalic' look down to where it is not noticable. Give that a try, see what you think. Bonzi Lon

    In my opinion it is too yellow to be lime, yet too green to be lemon, so I just call it "tennis ball'. Bonzi Lon

    McPherson College in KS has a wonderful (prom) car show every year. This huge group of Cushman's came to the show as a club group. Some very nice cars were shown at this event. No telling what you will find in the center of the country. Always some very unusual and interesting things on wheels, some were on tracks! Bonzi Lon
  14. All of the trophys for the McPherson College CARS Car Show are made by the students. No two have been alike. Bonzi Lon

    Edit: The numbers are BELOW the 5 & 6 spark plugs. :stupid: Bonzi Lon

    The numbers will be above the 5 & 6 spark plugs. Bonzi Lon
  17. Here is one of the threads I made upon my discovery of these stamps. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread21432.html Bonzi Lon
  18. On my newly rebuilt engine, 10k miles over a 4 year period, I've used regular 10w30 with a dose of my ZDDP of choice, www.cam-shield.com with a genuine Nissan 15208-43G0A filter, changed every 3000 miles on the dot. Bonzi Lon
  19. Absolutly positive. About a week after I bought it, the preveisouly unused ashtray was full and needed to be emptied. Lo and behold, treats for everyone present! Bonzi Lon
  20. I'll be the kid. The dead pedal was my first favorite thing. Every car I'd had before had the high beam button there. Remember them? It was so cool to have a sturdy platform for your foot, I thought 'how ingenious'. The second was the inspection 'light on a wire'. Pop's Buicks had under hool lights that came on when opened, but not one on a wire that could stretch ANY where under the hood. Another one of those 'how ingenious'. The space under the ashtray reveiled a lighter, pipe and a bag of very good weed. (1977) Bonzi Lon
  21. FSM page FA-21, Strut Assembly, Nut used to install the strut assembly on the body--18.1-25.3 ft-lb or 2.5 to 3.5 kg-m. Bonzi Lon
  22. Yes, the 73 had the thinner ones. If you try to use the wrong ones the linkages will not hook up properly. Bonzi Lon

    I watched mine roll over in 1978. It just turned 29,XXX this past Sunday. Bonzi Lon
  24. Measure the one you have, there are at least 2 different thicknesses of carb insulators. Bonzi Lon
  25. The splash pan can also be a pain when removed and 5 of the 9 bolts break off! Bonzi Lon
