    Is there a way to reverse engineer another Grose jet into our SU's?
  2. Also the valves could be rotating between adjustments. If the seats are inconsistent then your lash would change based on orientation
  3. Yeah, that could be smoother
  4. I have done some tuning on those years of GM vehicles. They have the ability to adjust the fuel base on the values in the fuel map and O2 input but it's limited. You will need to data log and adjust from there. Be careful and dont spool it up until you get the fueling closer.
  5. Multi meter should be able to handle the diagnosis
  6. Will be interesting to see how it does

    I need one of those senior stickers for my truck. Maybe it would keep people off my back bumper!
  8. I have 2 turbo engines in the shop but when given the choice I would go NA over installing one of the turbo motors I have. It's just simpler and much more forgiving. If I build the other Z in the driveway, providing I live long enough, we might go turbo in that. If it stays broken all the time I will still have another Z to drive
  9. Could it be loss of ground? He has power at the coil but it's an efi car. Does the starter spin the engine? ie Turnover? Does it fire at all when it spins? Will it fire if you shoot starter fluid into it?
  10. I'm with Jonathon. I like the ARP studs but I have reused bolts in the past and have never broken one. I believe, possibly in error, that if they survive the torquing down then they should be good to go.
  11. Is this a self learning system or do you need to program it? If it's not self learning then I wouldn't mess with the fuel pump unless I was sure it's starving for fuel
  12. Where did the flange and down pipe material come from? I like your TIG welds too!
  13. Courtesy Nissan shows out of stock, ships in 2-4 business days $44.43

    If the one shock with the welded stud is inoperable. Grind the bracket off and grind the metal away until the only the stud is left.
  15. That's quite the softball you're throwing for Cliff!

    unless the filter was bypassing due to loss of filtration capacity. You might could build it back up but it would have to be hardened again and would be cost prohibitive.
  17. I had seen that one. I just can think of anything usable on that chassis. Maybe something under the car but I doubt it Typically when they get this hot the sheet metal is badly oil canned from the cold water sprayed on it. There is also the effects of the heat itself which changes the characteristics of the steel in the door

    What would concern me most is where did all the metal end up.
  19. Not worth my time to try to reinvent that wheel... no insult intended
  20. Is the RT mount not available? Is it overly expensive?
  21. The later cars in the US have about 315hp and are very fast but they have problems with frame damage at that power level and thats not a 50 year old chassis designed for 140 hp or so

    Ok
  23. an 1/8th would be 0.125 if I am remembering correctly

    I might, I would have to locate it
