  1. Cooled by a 4,000 rpm brushless fan or an external heatsink according to the write up. Must get quite hot. Dennis
  2. Not to play "Can You Top This", but 1972, Topeka Kansas, gas wars, 23¢ a gallon. When the gas stations weren't trying to put each other out of business by selling at rock bottom prices, the price would go back up to about 32¢ per gallon. Dennis
  3. $35 for 10 minutes...cheaper than a trip to the casino and more fun. Dennis
  4. Have you checked all wiring, again? the manufacturer's write up says you can connect to a computer for set up. Did you try that? http://www.123ignition.nl/product.phtml?id=220 Dennis
  5. Fun video, but after listening to the song, I'm kinda glad he wasn't driving a 6-speed. ? A version with subtitles would be interesting. Dennis

    Internal rivets

    No apology needed. And you're correct. No harbor Freight in Palm Springs. I have to leave town to shop at one. I can relate to going stir crazy on a rainy day. The rain here last Thursday wiped out the only three roads leading out of town to the interstate. Nine inches of rain locally. Stay dry! Dennis

    Internal rivets

    Harbor Freight has a 90 rivet set that contains 50 5mm rivets for a reasonable price. https://www.harborfreight.com/90-piece-pom-rivet-assortment-67611.html Dennis

    Internal rivets

    I used cotter pins as replacements for the pins. The looped head of the pin sticks out of the rivet and makes it easy to pull out when it's time to pull a panel again. Dennis
  9. I've always said, "Long cold winters are the Mother of invention.". Having spent my first 22 years in Northern Wisconsin, I know from experience. Dennis
  10. Yup. Signed in 10/15/14, last visited 10/21/14. I sense a lack of commitment. Dennis
  11. A trip down Memory Lane. I attended an aircraft safety school course at Lowry about 1976. Spent a little time around B52s as an aircraft maintenance officer at March AFB in California and K.I. Sawyer in the UP of Michigan. Hard to believe the B52 has been around since 1955 and the planes are now older than the people flying in them. Thanks for the time trip! Dennis
  12. Just more proof that idle hands are the Devil's workshop. Dennis
  13. Not sure if this program cover has been posted previously. If it hasn't been - Enjoy! If it has been - Here it is again! A Porsche friend sent it to me because of the 914 pictured, not realizing I also have a Z. Dennis
  14. I jest not. (And don't call me Surely) I know of one manufacturer that kept computer data of dealer new car sales, so it was probably common in the industry at the "mothership" level. The instance I'm aware of was a computerized list compiled by Porsche to indicate the sale of every Porsche 914-6 sold in North America. The computer generated listing indicates car VIN, sale date, and name/location of dealership beginning with the 1970 model year. A friend who worked for Porsche at the dealership and corporate levels for many years has a copy and provides data to 914-6 owners upon request. Dennis
  15. Not much kept on computers at dealerships during our Z's production era. Generally, paper records only and they get tossed when the file reaches critical mass or the dealership closes or moves to a new location. Dennis
  16. I think it ends the same way "___....for tat" begins. ? Dennis
  17. Nice! How's the fit on the headlight nacelles? Dennis
  18. Yes, that's right. But, there's an 11,000 foot mountain about a block from my house that will keep most of that rain out of the desert. We're heading to our place in the mountains tomorrow, so will probably be shoveling some snow. Looks like the Polar Vortex is winding down and Chicago will have temps in the +50º range in a couple days. Crazy weather! Stay warm & dry. Dennis
  19. Makes me appreciate that I'm sitting in my backyard, next to the pool, web surfing on my iPad. I paid my "dues" living through 22 northern Wisconsin winters. Stay warm, Dennis
  20. Has anyone checked their antifreeze cold weather protection level lately? When I lived in Northern Wisconsin, it was an annual fall ritual. Seeing -70º wind chill temperatures in the midwest this morning reminded me of the "good old days" of getting up in the middle of the night to start the car and let it run for a while to assure it would start in the morning. Stay warm! Dennis
  21. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Cliff. Time for a trip to the eye doc. ? Dennis
  22. Since they exist, they must have been made in quantity to justify production. Where did they all go if they're not on our cars? Were they used on ther Nissan. Models? Is there a warehouse full of them somewhereits? Dennis
  23. There's a '71 finishing up on BaT today, currently at $25K with a few hours to go. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-70/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2019-01-23 Dennis
  24. There's a somewhat modified 1970 Z with a 2.0 motor and 5 speed ending soon on BaT. Currently at $8,500 with no reserve. Dennis
