Travel'n Man

I have actually had cars ride side by side with me at 60MPH and the drivers pull our their cell phones and start clicking pictures! You gotta love it!

Glad things got worked out!

Very interesting! Thanks for posting.......see, a person never has enough gadgets!

I just upgraded to a Honda blower motor in my Z, check out the link below. Flat Black paint - a little simple wiring and your good to go............Welcome to the club! http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?20863-Honda-Civic-Heater-Blower-Motor-upgrade-for-240z-s-My-personal-take&highlight=honda+blower

The Retro Sound One unit has an IPOD and USB port - best of both worlds. Check it out - I just added an Air Fuel Gauge next to my remote install in the glove box - looks pretty sharp and all hidden. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?37020-Retro-Sound-Install&highlight=retro+one

Not wanting to go back through 14 pages of info to review, but my '72 does have two differnet SU's setting for fuel height........FYI

Randy - Beautiful - hope you get every penny you're after on the sale!

I have purchased a few items that were priced fairly and shipped quickly.

5.25" Shallow will work http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/eXcelon/Speakers/

.................come on now - you gotta post a picture!!

Rick - High school in the '70's was a blast (or at least the parts I remember were great!!)...............welcome to the site!

If you currently own the N42 block why not just re-bore and put in flat tops........put then N42 head on and off you go! While you are in there you can add some other tweeks but since $ is low that would be the easiest and odds are the least expensive...........that way you will know you engine is good to go.

Adrian - The search engine will be your best bet for research - all of us started there and all of us use it for a first go to when we are working on our cars. There are some very knowledgeable people on this site and as stated above, most of your questions have already been addressed, and resolved on previous threads.............so dig in and let the fun begin! Dealing with your richness - your first step will be to make sure you carbs are set for the correct air/fuel ratio and are balance with the same air intake..........there is a tool you will need to purchase to assist with that balance. The air/fuel ratio can be done by several methods - again discussed in detail on 100's of past threads.............plug reading, exhaust popping, backfiring, just to name a few. The best way to adjust your carbs is to either have it dyno'd for A/F with an exhaust sniffer or to put a A/F meter in the car. Other than that it is really a little guessing using the tell tale signs mentioned above. Honestly you need to make sure your car is properly tuned first before working, setting, and balancing the carbs........... Keep us posted on your progress and enjoy the ride!

Great find and great save..........gotta agree...........get the wheels off. Keep us posted on your work and enjoy the ride!

Call Dave Rebello - he is into these engines more than anybody else.......his knowledge is excellent and the end results are even better;) Let us know your findings. http://www.rebelloracing.com/

It does.

One more thing - you may want to think about pulling your header and having it JETHOT coated. As sharp as your engine bay looks it would really put it over the top done in silver or black - just a thought. http://www.jet-hot.com/

Noe - We will need to know more about your Mikuni set up please........... What size of Mikuni's do you have? Is your L24 modified? What Venturi? Are you dead heading your fuel return or is it returning to the tank? What Fuel Pump do your have and where are they placed? Do you have a Fuel Regulator and what is your pressure set to? Are you running a Fuel Filter(s)? How long have you owned the car with the Mikuni's? Is the air flow balanced? Do you know what your A/F ratio is? The more info you share the better any and all of us can try to assist..............

Welcome - be sure to use the search engine - tons of past conversations that can assist with most or many of any issues you could possibly come up with.

Why are we picking up a post from 2007?

Have you had your Z on the 421 Snake yet?

Chris - I'm a little confused.........you've been a member for 14 months and your first post is about a Amco Parcell Bar.............do you have a picture or a better description?

If it's what I think it is - here is the fix - there are many posts and threads on this but my CLUNK has never returned.........by the way - welcome to the site! http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?35995-Ron-Tyler-Differential-Mount&highlight=ron+tyler

Bill - sorry for the rough start of this thread - first of all welcome to the site. I notice that you are only an 90 min drive from me. I am in the Boone area. We have some great driving roads in our neck of the woods - do you get to the Boone area or the Blue Ridge Parkway often? I opted not to make a heat shield for my car due to the fact that I wanted my engine bay to look like it does.......the first thing eyes go to is my Mikuni's. I really wanted a great looking (and working) heat shield. Review the lower thread and it should have all the info that you need to assist in with you finding the heat shield. PM me if I can assist any with your quest. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?42045-Wolf-Creek-Racing-Mikuni-40-s

I sourced mine directly from Japan.............there are extensive notes along with contacts, addresses, photos and email address...........did you use the search word "Mikuni"?
