  2. Just outside Detroit is world class academy of art Cranbrook. About 10 years ago i worked there for about 6 weeks. I have to go back not just for the art the grounds are like from the golden era . Here is one artist to come out of Cranbrook not just eye candy she is for real. http://www.cranbrookart.edu/Pages/PhotographyDept.html
  3. I was watching mid ohio today on speed they showed that car for a moment i think they were talking about Scott Sharp but i missed the conversation.
  4. Nope no bullet there , the one with the bullet on it is for the sensors. Cut and splice pig tail or make new connector.

    Almost 5 million model A were built. And the Ford Mustang in 1965 alone almost 700,000 were built. Lot's of these to go around.

  7. That **** went on in my backyard back in the day. My house will be built in upper left corner of this pic. People like Henry Miller and Gar Wood hung out there. In the art post Ron Finch video shows a pic from the raceway maybe 1958. They raced motorcycles too. 1934 I was reading about the guy that built it had made the land owner and lumber yard partners for lumber and land but had to pay 9 bucks cash for the nails witch were hard to come by. http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/autoracing.aspx?id=1652&type=9 http://alblixtracinghistory.typepad.com/al_blixt_auto_racing_hist/motor_city_speedway/

  12. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3251/2726317530_a384b7b854.jpg "This is around 1979, in the rain at Road Atlanta, and may be at the SCCA Runoffs, but I'm not certain. Paul is in our Datsun 610, coming down to the bottom of the hill past the place where I had a really hard crash in my Z-car a few years earlier. Where the cars are coming down the hill in the background, I had air get under the Z going at least 150 mph, and the car lifted, went over backwards, hit the embankment and started flipping end over end. I wasn't hurt, but the car didn't finally stop tumbling until it was just about at the same spot where Paul is in this photo. This is an SCCA B Sedan, probably with around 220hp on tap, with the Canon and Kendall sponsorships that were backing us with Paul. I'll tell you, he was a terrific driver in the wet, always very much on his game." http://www.hemmings.com/hsx/stories/2009/01/01/hmn_feature10.html I crossed paths with one of the great ones at DETROIT GRAND PRIX last Friday. I was thinking what can i have MARIO autograph i know my shirt:)

  15. 2nd opinion "There SHOULD be enough pressure to "pop the cap" on a ZX. Not enough to blow it out of your hand but definitely enough to whoosh out when you open it up. That's a design feature to keep some pressure on top of the fuel." http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/80388-280zx-fuel-tank-vacuum-and-fuel-check-valve/ If you look at the cap on zx i would say it is designed to hold pressure.
  16. I have a 83 that is like new cond 77000 mi i have had this happen before. If you put cool or cold gas in the tank and it is much warmer outside the fuel will expand. I would not worry about it

  18. Here is some Detroit Music for the wash.
  19. "Oil blow by, dont know how much but there was residue under the hood towards the front. My hood was a mess too, engine degreaser & elbow grease. No idea where it comes from." Fan clutch
  20. I used this timer put it on the side of the console with just the knob showing no face plate. That is on my 78. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=311473-207-TMSW30MS&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3387086&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 I have a 83 in five years only once the fan came on.

  22. Do you have the injector fan on there. I think it is ground to fan.
  23. I tell you the car loved it. This has been used for 100 years,
  24. Old school decarbon was to use water . I did it to my 78 it liked it. I took a garden sprayer with fine mist and put a half gallon through the brake vac.
