  1. HeHeHeHe, I almost got tazed this morning.
  2. I just wanted to let my friends know that I've been under the "weather" for over a year now with my clutch leg (LHD). I had a knee replacement 10 days ago and walked on my own after 1 week. I didn't get the robotic arm installation just the old fashioned human arm job. Very happy with the prospect of being young enough and pain free to maybe work on another Z sometime in the future. I'm keeping them cranked up and fluids flowing monthly but unable to drive. Soon enough my doctor says.
  3. There's a member map on this forum that shows people close to you. I know we have 2 Jims in Arkansas that live and breathe these cars. I'm on my phone and not much help at the moment but can find them tomorrow morning and tag them, maybe they'll respond? Haven't seen any post from them recently though but there still around lurking like Bigfoot. I did what I think is the best way to get a good dependable car. Set a budget and rebuild/replace all you can. Cost me around $5,000 for my '72 but I did a lot of the work myself. I wouldn't be affraid to drive it across the country. Edit: Steve tagged the guys I am speaking of.
  4. You can run a gauge to your windshield wiper under a partially closed hood. Zip-tie the hose and gauge to the wiper and go for a ride.
  5. I got some deals on black Friday years ago from futofab.com Happy Thanksgiving!
  6. It's this little plastic switch with a small button that moves in and out in relation to your choke handle arm. All the way foward shouldn't have any contact with the button, therefore turning the light off. Make damn sure there's no contact with the handle and the little button when it's pushed foward (no choke) and you should be good.
  7. Here's something I found real quick. Should have the numbers. Here's a Google search with alot of threads pertaining to the rubber seal... https://www.google.com/search?q=speedometer+connections+on+transmission+dripping+oil+siteunseen+classiczcars.com&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&sca_esv=2c272caab9e83ec0&ei=ikoxZ6L7FeP9ptQPidvc2A8&oq=speedometer+connections+on+transmission+dripping+oil+siteunseen+classiczcars.com&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIlBzcGVlZG9tZXRlciBjb25uZWN0aW9ucyBvbiB0cmFuc21pc3Npb24gZHJpcHBpbmcgb2lsIHNpdGV1bnNlZW4gY2xhc3NpY3pjYXJzLmNvbUiU6AFQiYQBWKXaAXAAeACQAQCYAccBoAGfEKoBBDAuMTS4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgCgAgCYAwCIBgGSBwCgB_YE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp Hopefully this will help??
  8. I had to grind off some of shifter to get it to stay in gear
  9. Are you setting the float valves with the lids upside down like the "Just SUs" dvd or right side up and float hanging?
  10. Don't let your wife read that! https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/ aka "Blue's Tech Tips" and this forum is all I needed and I don't have any cents.
  11. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I'm pulling off a huge conspiracy for all my TikTok followers with 6 piston cups. Stop by anytime. If I'm not home my cameras and neighbors will surely let me know. I'm about an hour from Barber Motorsports Park. We could make a day out of it.
  12. Saw this on marketplace. No idea why he couldn't return them? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/859135412997201/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-1044793123484703691"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"8938584548717743279"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"8938584548717743279"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A8938584548717743279%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A162%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A41188063074766094%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.00017362306366061%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A3523%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"8687215747976919\"%3A3565}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-1044916749731165527"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"41188063074766094"}
  13. This is from 2017 where we talked about the choke light.
  14. I see you know about ripping around. Those 1 liter bikes are hard on the rear tires.
  15. My '72 has the temp needle on the right side leg of the M in TEMP as long as I've driven it. That's perfect in my experience. Mine never feels overly hot. I did the pointer temp gauge too, 175 F, every time.
  16. I got this in my inbox. Haven't had time to go through the deals yet. Might be something other than fan belts.
  17. Recklessly driving around eating their pets. In Ohio, a new anti-hooning bill was signed into law in July 2024. The law increases penalties for hooning from a traffic ticket to a felony, and allows law enforcement to ticket spectators. Drivers who flee from law enforcement can be charged with a third-degree felony, which could result in jail time.
  18. My car for the Chinese Franklin Mint model.
  19. Isn't this pic on the passenger's side? Looks like the alternator I'm seeing. Look on the other side where the steering rod connects. Maybe you'll find it. Good luck!
  20. Here's my plastic plug before the zerk fitting If you could take the fitting off the end of the hose on a grease gun and get it under the accordion sleeves and pump it while working the wheel back and forth you would get some on the teeth of the rack I think.
  21. $10,500 is pretty cheap. The seller admits he didn't know squat about the car so it was a gamble. I got mine from the same type guy but for $2,000. Back in the good old days, 2015.
  22. The few I've done a telescoping magnet was a big help for the retainers.
  23. The nice paint on the block makes me think it's been rebuilt by someone that cared enough to get the correct color. I'd guess it's most likely a decent motor if it turns freely. $500 minimum IMHO No carbs, $300.
  24. I've removed material off my rockers to weigh the same but if I'm reading that right he's making your's a one off type thing. You'll be a lifelong customer.
