  1. You could try taking them off and sanding, filing or someway removing the burnt layer of the shoes. You most likely have overheated the rears by pulling the E-brake up and locking in all that heat after a spirited drive. Unless you are on a hill I suggest not using the E-brake.
  2. I'm sorry, your right. Tom Monroe's book that I've used more than once says 61 ft. Lbs.
  3. Damn! That looks great. Maybe crimp your wires tighter on both ends, plugs and dizzy cap. Use dielectric grease too on all connections.
  4. I'm sorry, I haven't read that. More members will chime im.. @240260280 just did! Oops, he commented on another post. Wait for it...

    Better than duct-tape!
  6. I don't. No need in my opinion. Once you get that 80lbs they stretch, the gasket is set too. Don't mess with that I say.
  7. An intelligent man with more time than most and an internet connections. Woof! I'm glad you and I are friends. Thanks Ms. Mark.

  9. Here's the one I remember, it's a long thread but full of information.
  10. It seems like my 280 did that when the booster went bad. Do your RPMs fluctuate any when fully depressed? If they go up your booster may have a vacuum leak.

    You have the earlier Truckster. Here's the later one. Notice that covered taller piece of luggage up top? That's Aunt Edna. And just for giggles here another later one...
  12. It's owned by and run by the Illuminati.
  13. Optional? They should all be shared. I'm not liking BAT so much now. Hiding the truth, comments from people that know. The price hasn't risen from what I can tell since the knowledgeable folks started picking this car apart. Has anybody linked this thread in BATs comments? How long would that stay up? Not too long.
  14. Thank you. I had know idea as I read from the bottom up.
  15. "asking for a friend" pas·sive-ag·gres·sive adjective of or denoting a type of behavior or personality characterized by indirect resistance to the demands of others and an avoidance of direct confrontation, as in procrastinating, pouting, or misplacing important materials.

    I knew that sounded familiar. The '70s Show!

    My Mom had a Pontiac Catalina when I first had memory. And my memory was :this is a huge car". We called it the "kitty cat". She always threatened to put me in the trunk when I wouldn't shut up with my questions. But why? Why? Why? Why? That makes no sense, WHY!!! Then "do as I say, not as I do". I love my dog.

    Read over this. It's got some great info as well as pictures! Love pictures. I followed his instructions and have a '79 ZX dizzy in my 280. Works great with a little more advance. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html Here's the whole electrical section. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electrical.htm
  19. I googled the Pangborn guy, he died in 2010. Frigidaire wives...
  20. What's this say? I've never seen a rubber stamp that cancels a title but hey, it's me. Is it "surrender to Nevada"?

    I had to google it. The early 90's are a blur in my life. I was in my early 20's and too cool for school if you know what I mean. Hell all the 90's now that I think about it.

    It's hot air off the exhaust, not water in the EGR. If you followed that down you'd see where it connects to the exhaust. My orange line here...

    Your's is a lot different than my '72. Here's what I see that I would plug. Blue circle. There should be one on the front intake as well closer to the radiator. This is the Y pipe I believe for your car. It should connect to that hard line you circled behind the head above. Then the thermostat housing. I can't find a picture of mine right off but I did find this.

    You lost me there Boss. I don't see the same thing you see. Wooo, that's kinda scary right? I don't think a 280 has that Y pipe. They don't have the coolant line behind the head, mine doesn't I know.
