Finally stuck my 280 hood on the '73 and it latches, but the passenger side (that's the right) corner near the cowl is an inch above the fender and cowl when the hood is latched. The 240 hood that came off lined up perfectly, and the donor car (another 240) the vented hood came off--everything lined up great there too. Everything LOOKS straight and the car has never been in any wrecks. The hinge bolts are basically in the middle of their range. The front corners at the headlight buckets lines up great. Not perfect, but good enough. I don't see enough adjustment in the hinges to clear this problem up, and RAISING the front LEFT corner to drop the rear right would cause it to be horribly out. Is there a trick? Is my hood tweaked? Is my body tweaked? steve77

I think you can buy stock crap like Monroes or Pep Boys or whatever for about $35 each. steve77

>>>>down(hill) a 1/2 mile straight<<<< Yeah, either side at the Willow big track, that is where the 911's go by like you are sitting still. steve77

>>>that is a perfect bell curve...<<<< Yes, almost all of the 'serious' polls might be a bit skewed at first, but eventually settle out to a perfect representation of a cross-section of society. The recent 'Relationship' poll was an anomaly--as I expected--in that somewhere around 10% of world population is homosexual, and we do not validate that statistic. I suppose it could be an honesty thing, but I guess being a 'car' site places us a bit at the fringes of society. steve77 Social scientist in the box

Need a '73 harness? steve

Did I just read this? Maybe I have had too many glasses of wine. I could have SWORN I just read Keith say a car of his is "running". steve77

The good news is, That thing next to him doesn't have her shirt off. Wonder what she has shaved into her back? steve77

Welcome! NEED MORE RACERS! NEED MORE RACERS! Any kind. Hope to run into you at a track soon. Fact: Your car CAN NOT be uglier than mine! steve77

Well, I'm easy. I want NOTHING stock. I am putting in a ZX motor (yes, FI) and ZX harness to ge the car sorted while my engine is being built and then plan on just simplifying it as the new motor (NOT FI) and 6AL requires. 240 harnesses SUCK. I don't like Car-B-Q. The ZX harness will provide all my lights and dash controls--including tach, pressure/temp, fuel--and also a fuse box that doesn melt and modern ignition. When my 'standard' motor is ready, my plan is to just eliminate the 'puter and engine sensors and wire the MSD in. Don't want to hijack this thread, as I think there is a great market for a 'restored' harness. Out. steve77

>>>>This is mike, or a model he uses to be mike. He looks the most normal person yet , and thats <<<< Yup, that's Mikey, in the flesh. HEY! I'm nomral! steve77

Keith. I am looking at the Painless alternative right now in my street-legal race car. You're welcome to come wire my car! I would like to simplify, simplify, simplify. steve77

Jeff, e-mailed and PM'd you. steve

Whoa...I think I felt the earth move. No, it can't be...did Keith just post his picture? I never thought he would. OK, so now I am feeling guilty for not posting a legit picture. If Keith can do it, so can I. steve77

Front yes, rear no. Check out the forum you posted this in. There are at least two other discussions of this THIS WEEK. steve77

Oh, come on...you know unwrapping is the best part. steve77

At my house it usually ends up being about double what I expect.... steve77
