Here's another surprise to me. The guy is a chick magnet but he can play the guitar like a mother.

I saw him and Peter Frampton at the Beau Rivage casino in Mississippi about 12 years ago. They put on a show! Since then I've been a Bonamassa fan. Never heard of him until then. Nice surprise.

78 4” speaker suggestions
From what I remember they bolted right up, no issues. There's a bracket that holds them. Here you go! Thanks to @Dave WM for the video. You'll see the bracket in the first few seconds.

To copy and paste from the script of "The Holy Grail"... "Man: Well I object to your...you automatically treat me like an inferior! Arthur: Well I *am* king... Man: Oh, king, eh, very nice. And 'ow'd you get that, eh? (he reaches his destination and stops, dropping the cart) By exploiting the workers! By 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress,-- Woman: Dennis! There's some lovely filth down 'ere! (noticing Arthur) Oh! 'Ow'd'ja do? Arthur: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? Woman: King of the 'oo? Arthur: King of the Britons. Woman: 'Oo are the Britons? Arthur: Well we all are! We are all Britons! And I am your king. Woman: I didn't know we 'ad a king! I thought we were autonomous collective. Man: (mad) You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes-- Woman: There you go, bringing class into it again...

Putting in a replacement L-28
This was one of my first reads when I joined this forum. There's a lot of names in here I haven't seen around anymore, Z Train, Z Curves, Coyze...

Butthurt Emissions delete....
What's your point? I deleted mine without any problems just a lot of reading. It was all common sense but for you, an engineer, it should be much easier.

Spare tire hold down identification
My #69,??? VIN is the round one. '77 is the square holder.

You can run a gauge on the end of a couple feet of hose under the driver's wiper and watch what it does while you're driving. Thank you to @FastWoman for that trick.

Spare tire hold down identification
I think that curve is for the ZX.? Pretty sure my '77 is flat too. My one day wish is to find the early one with rubber on the circle piece. Edited. Its gotta be something other than our cars. See the difference in depth of the tightening stop ring on the curved one. I think ZX changed wheel size with their aluminum ones in '79.

Spare tire hold down identification
This is my oe '72. That's a ratty spare I have in there but it's got a good 14" tire so function over fashion for me.

Putting in a replacement L-28
I agree. It's a "clickity" sound not the "tangity" sound from exhaust leaking. A short piece of hose for a stethoscope would be helpful locating the source. Car looks great! It's been enjoyable for me reading your thread. You know what you wanted and now you have it. Well done!

This is a neat new thing @Mike has done for deranged praise seekers like me. I need to get out more but I'm a happy "safer at home" person too.

Clean/shine up the connections?

Choosing a 5 Speed and Diff Combination
Just a heads up on the wide 5 in my 240. It would pop out of gear. Finally figured out the shifter was hitting the tunnel and going completely into some gears. Post #16 shows the nicks on the shift rod I found. Some light grinding fixed me up, no more issues.

Choosing a 5 Speed and Diff Combination
Yes, 180 differential with the 5 speed. No problems ripping around town or 2 hour drive on the interstate. Aluminum flywheel is my best modification so far. I'm a rev freak I guess, grew up riding dirt bikes with power bands. It's in my blood.

Putting in a replacement L-28
Backing out of my driveway is the worst few seconds of my light flywheel. Once I get on the street I'm used to the quick up and down RPMs. I love mine!
