How do you get on the list? thx

Has anyone tried the Monza system from VB?

I thought the Z had rubber channel stuff inside the door window frame? Mine got all hard and shrunk a little.

Water would probably work, but would contaminate the lines. Then you have to dry them out before going back to gasoline.

What Carl said....

If you totally removed the cannister and plugged all the hoses, you would either have to vent the fuel tank (unscrew the cap) before getting in the car or add a solenoid valve (or a check valve?) to let the pressure out when the fuel pump is running. there HAS to be a better way than what it had.

I looked at the hoses and where they go, and it looks like they all go the intake (i.e. vacuum). One goes to the dizzy for vacuum advance. Don't disconnect the vacuum line from the cannister without plugging it, or the engine will stall. I think you could just replace it with a smaller can to do the same job. I'd put that can where the vacuum bottle was.

Thanks for the info. I bet it's only a bit of the whole thing, but it gives help. It'll take some practice to get good at understanding it all as fast as you hear it.

Is there a website that explains all the lingo used in pace notes for rallying? It would be nice to understand what those guys are saying (in english). I don't speak finnish, french, etc., so I'm not iunterested in that. thx

I had the same problem with my little S-hose for the heater! Mine even hads a flush tee from the PO. I had the radiator shop fix that straight away. Just about everything made of rubber or plastic that's exposed to t he elements is dried/cracked/etc.

I got the one by Wick Humble. What do you mean by "Doing up a Zed?" Restore? Customize? Modify/race? thx

Have you considered using the new L.E.D. bulb substitutes? Much less current needed, and I think they are supposed to be brighter.

I'm working on my Z-songs CD, and I"m stuck on a song artist: "Lay With Me" I think it's Alice Cooper, or some other ROCK group, not Tanya Tucker, or Johnny Cash. Approx. year would help too. thx :rambo:

I've taken a few things off already, like the EGR valve stuff & the dashpot. Anything with wires or a vacuum line going to the intake gets a closer look. Just remember NOT to unbolt the ground wire for the injectors!! (bolted to intake). :stupid:

So why don't they decipher the VIN enough to tell you to call them on the phone? There must be a way to decode VINs to the point where you can tell about how old the vehicle is. They make such a big deal on TV commercials about getting an online quote. I've even been watching for the fine print that tells you to call them if you have an older car.

I recently tried to get a rate quote online with both Progressive and Geico insurance companies, but neither would give a quote. Progressive doesn't insure cars made before 1981, and Geico requires a 17-digit VIN (same thing). So I'm staying with my current auto insurance provider.

Black?? I was thinking of using some polyurethane clear. or even some of that eyelasses scratch fixer stuff. thx, mate

You can't see anything from the outside. Only when you look from the inside with the sun low. Glare is also a problem with the sun low.

When the sun hits the windshield at a low angle, it looks like my car was driven through storms of rocks & sand, with all the tiny little pits & small scratches. Is there a way to repair the glass so it's nice & clear again? thxe

The easiest thing you might do is to see if you can swap the center part of the steering wheel with a (new) one? Otherwise, I'd say you need to haver a machinist make you a(steel?) insert with splines on it and then cut it into the steering wheel. I have a removeable wheel using a Grant adapter, and you can bolt on a new hub if you ever need to. It would still be important to see why it wore away in the first place, so you don't have the same problem again.

I found a vacuum hose marked "W" on the end. Is that supposed to go to the water valve? If it does, where is the vacuum tap for the water valve supposed to be? Right now, I think my heater is stuck on v'vent' so I think another vacuum hose fell off the control valve thingy. thx

You might get lucky and have -one- guy at the dealer who's been working on Zs since they came out- probably the older guy with the long hair & tye-dye T-shirt...

Wouldn'tyou get tired of seeingthe same cars through the entire trip? I mean, it would be nice to drive with some cars for part way, then some other ones for another part. You might try a little 'competition."

Where would you like to drive in your Zed? Personally, I was thinking of something like: Drive around the perimiter of Ohio (Targa Ohio!) then: US-1 down the east coat to Miami Rte-66 to L.A. Pacific coast Highway to Seattle across to Montana where my bro lives Through Chicago back to Ohio Correct me id my old map needs updating
