If you are having coolant blockage issues. You might be able to flush it out with the head off. Many times the cylinder head gaskets have some small holes in them. Maybe some of these are getting blocked. Maybe even temporarily.

Blue loktite or stake them. You have to support the throttle shaft to stake them or they wil bend. It a tricky process

The assembly comes out pretty easily. As I recall it just pulls out and has two spade plugs to disconnect

Are the throttle shaft screws staked? It is possible to ingest those if they were to back out, but staking must be done with care...

That was probably a really good buy

They are hand made, one at a time. The color does seem off but Steve is very obsessive about making accurate reproductions. I feel confident the color is correct. He would be my first choice if you can figure out shipping.

Have you asked Eiji about running 40w oil?

The mothtrap has been listed for at least nine months now.

Super progress!!

That was my thought too! 🤣🤣

That sounds cool!

I can't tell what I'm looking at in the first picture. The second picture looks like they could be "Bad Dog" rails

I drove manuals for decades with no neutral safety switch. I always check the car for neutral before starting with the clutch pedal down or not. You'll only try to start it in gear once, maybe twice... 😉 In other words, I wouldn't try to install one...

I'm ok with using old cooking oil for jet fuel or biodiesel. That seems to make sense but after we use it for food!

@Diseazd As an aside, what are the two water tanks at the back of the shop for? Looks like lots of filtration

I've always thought it sort of foolish to take your food source and turn it into fuel, but what do I know...🤪

The good news is, even at that consumption rate you're still ahead of if you had chosen a big mac! 🤣🤣

I wouldn't think reason #1 or #3 as likely culprits. I would suspect internal wear...

@SteveJ I like that red Z with the 280 hood. Nice looking paint!

Thats fun. I drove one of those one time. Fast and fun even for a sedan 😎

Are we gonna let the box hang out the hatch or fold you in half in a shorter box? 🤣🤣

I had to do this recently on a BMW Z4. I put the rear wheels on 4" solid masonry caps. Doesn't allow the suspension to squirm but atleast it is loaded and mostly settled

I liked the roof rack, a very cool item from that period.

Also, you will have better success with the hose clamps if you use an actual JIS screwdriver!
