Why the duplicate threads?

I fully agree with point you're making. I recemty got jumped on by a fairly new member on something very similar. In fact, 5thorsemann and psdenno came to my defense. I forgot to thank them so....thanks.

Gromit?

If that was for the 77 I'm sure he would have taken the money and ran.

Ended at $24,100.00 Reserve price not met.

You're really not chatting, you're typing. It's really a bit annoying (my opinion). If that's 'getting with the times' I'll pass, thank you. That might even land you on a few ignore lists.

A little over a day to go. I don't see it going much higher.

I think we're discussing different points. My comment had nothing to do with history. If he hadn't entered he wouldn't need to exit. Remember the thread sat for four days without a comment and this will be my last one in it.

Not sure I get that..........

If he really has $80K invested in it, he won't take 21 or even the 25 that Ted mentions unless he's just desparate. Less thatn 1/3 of his 'investment'? IMO, he'll be keeping this car.....for a long time.

Then, why didn't you? Rick comment was quite simple, easily understood and really didn't need to go where you took it....

So you've owned 16 cars by age 23? You should easily pass my count. I'm on my 51st but I'm...shall we say...a bit older.

Last time I checked, MSA only had replacement fuse boxes for 240Z's.

The maxifuse setup I reacll discussing here in the past is actually used as a replacement for the underhood fusible links.

Not from 1978 and later.

I just noticed how badly I botched the word in that last post, twice:facepalm:. c-u-r-m-u-d-g-e-o-n :stupid:

Hey John, I'm 10 years older than you. A crumdugeon? They're really not bad people. I always loved author Jon Winokur's take on crumdugeons. Sorry to do that to your thread, Ted but once people began analizing each other rather than the L series engine, it was already off topic anyway.

John, I'm fairly certain that wasn't in response to my comment but, just to be clear, my comment wasn't aimed at you or even at this site but rather car (or other) sites in general.

Sorry, double post.

Also, it seems like those arguments seem to initiate/escalate when certain individuals are involved.

A). Leno drives his cars. . It's a 280ZX.

I would think they'd be better since he says that one of his is stuck closed. I can test them and clean them with my pressurised canister/cleaner and test tools which will tell me whether or not they open and close and that they flow fuel. I've always been curious about how these shops can match flow or flow a set of these old school injectors.

The guy I'm talking about, Al Allen, is based in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. You're talking about Dean in Northridge who is a stand up guy. I bought some stuff for my roadster from him back when he had just opened his shop. I had forgotten about the similarity of the two business names.

That's what my 78 had also.
