  1. I'd bet that they cost more than 100 bucks......
  2. As far as that cell phone claptrap goes, all you have to do is consider who started it. Especially when he continued along that path even after the question was answered. I was just wondering why this went so far beyond the scope of what the OP asked.

    Some threads should be simply left in the archives.......
  4. I have that press in my garage. I've used it to do u joints, hub bearings, and various small to medium duty jobs but I'd want something larger for a transmission. Fortunately, my son has the 12 ton press.
  5. Why??????
  6. If the oem stuff is working as it should, why would you do either of those, why bother??
  7. That should be posed as a question, not an exclaimation. (At least is was by the guy that originally said it)

    No one asked.......As for Gary's question, I bought a grommet from ACE hardware's assortment for my antenna. Don't remember the exact size but it worked.
  9. Now I know how the Aflac duck feels.......:knockedou
  10. You missed my point. I was poking fun because neither you nor TH gave a reponse that could really be thought of as an answer to the OPs question........
  11. Do you know TomoHawk?
  12. I'm trying to get to what that would have to do with his question......anyway, only the 1979 280ZX had a 100mph speedo. On September 1, 1979, a regulation by the NHTSA required speedometers to have special emphasis on the number 55 and a maximum speed of 85 mph. Starting with the 1980 model year, all US 280ZX's went to an 85 mph speedo. 1983 was the only year that offered a digital speedometer but the 85 mph limit was carried over. Somewhere in the mid-80s that regulation was dropped. (Arne beat me to it)
  13. Never had any issues; heat related, moisture related or otherwise.
  14. I've owned a GM car or two (really about 6) with some variation of that distributor. Including my present 84 Vette. Never had one fail. When I used that module in my 510, I mounted it by the coil, as you said, without any kind of heatsink other than washers between it and the fenderwell and it worked for over 5 years just like that.
  15. I'd put some Kroil or some other penetrating oil in that caliper, let it sit overnight and blast that puppy out with compressed air.
  16. I'm thinking that if he had the rubber, it would be in the ad pictures......and I concur about the value of the bumpers themselves. I had a very good set w/o the rubber from a 77 parts car I once had and ended up junking them when no one wanted to pay 50 bucks for them.
  17. FWIW, I used one of those modules on a 510 I owned. I actually got the module from the junkyard and used it to convert the later model distributor for use on my last 510. My intent was to replace the used module with a new one after I got it all set up. I never did. It worked fine for the 5+ years I owned that car.
  18. I don't know.....still pictures in a video(post #3)...just doesn't do it for me. Instead of TLDNR, TLDNW....
  19. That one is also amongst the commercials on the Z Car microfiche CD. Along with one of my favorites
  20. I think he missed that last sentence in your post (#27).......

    That's really all anyone here is asking. Make the effort. Don't cast youself as a victim. Use that same effort you used to finish school and go to Wyotech. You might even look back at this and laugh someday.

    So, let me get this straight........you're defending your functional illiteracy?? You're actually going to become belligerent because you're asked to use basic communication skills? You feel that someone is high and mighty because they paid attention in school? A car is minor when compared to the things you really need help with...... (I really tried to stay out of this but that's just too much!)

  24. Remember what I said in your other thead about people not taking you seriously.......
