Excellent recommendation! I find the big mistake with HVAC co's. is 'time is money' & they don't pull a vacuum long enough to evacuate all contaminants. I don't know if timing is comparable between home & auto systems but I like to pull the vacuum for a good 3 hrs. before releasing the charge.

Do you still have a set available??

Squirrels are notorious for stashing their nuts in the engine bay

I voted for the 9 worst cars (if you can say that ) + yours. Hope others did the same, Mopars are very popular among piston heads. Gonna be tough.

E-mail sent Ross.

Andrew, I did look at the ZHome site a while ago but saw that only 240Z's could register. Once I get the image down sizing thing figured out w/my new MacBook, I'll post that album. I see that your join date was the same mo/yr as when I acquired my BPE/SAP (my 2nd Z). Carl, I'm thinking that this was his e-mail? So you're the infamous Carl Beck?? And Andrew, you're the honest to goodness Andrew Streckfuss?? Wow, I feel honored & lucky. The only one missing on this thread is Byron. You guys did a 'very' good job with the write-up of the Black Pearl Edition. I'm curious though,...you guys mention that the color was a test market device to determine if it should be added to the color pallet of Z cars. The guy I bought the car from (Reggie Kitchens) told me that up until then (1977), black cars were reserved for Japanese royalty only & that Mr. K had a hell of a time trying to convince the big guys @ Nissan/Japan to make an exception but was successful...& hence, the Black Pearl Z was born. Any of you ever hear this Edit: Oh, btw...I'm kinda surprised Ross didn't offer up the registry to one of you guys. Those who don't want their name shown publicly can have their names left out on the public side of things.

Anybody know of one? I ran across a contact from 10 yrs. ago (rwilliams@cognizant.com) but received an undeliverable when I e-mailed them. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Bruce

Just noticed file upload size limits @ 488k, My photos are in the 633k range, got to figure out how to 'photoshop" them down to size.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, I am in the search of a stripe kit as mine are a little faded & would like to refresh. I'm traveling on holiday vacation still & don't have the serial # avail. @ the moment, but will provide it upon my return home. Anybody here or elsewhere keeping a database on these rare relics? Let's start one if none around!! Attched. are a couple of pix for those who are in doubt. Edit: Unable to upload pix, any secrets would be greatly appreciated!
