Thank you.

Any examples of applying RTV? I’m sure there’s a good way to do this?

I installed a new fuel pump this evening and ran the car a little longer than I was able to in the past. I notice the oil pressure come up on the gauge. After running it a little, I took the cam cover off to see how it looked. I was looking to see if it was oiling properly, or at least what I think properly would look like. I then bumped the starter a little to see what was happening under there. It looked like a couple lovers were not being properly oiled. I have another oil bar that was recommended I use to replace the one I currently have in place. I’m soaking both of them to get them clean. When I removed the old one the screws were loose, the bolt seemed tight. The two end pieced were pretty loose, is this normal, they just came right out while I was cleaning it? I’ll install the newer one tomorrow.

I need gaskets for my oil bar. Where can I get these ? Thank you.

I currently like the idea of keeping my z as stock as possible. I’m no purist. I preffer making things better if it will prolong the life of the car, or if it’s a safety item. My question is, should I replace the original radiator, or just have this one boiled ?

nobody had any 5/8. I ordered some from Amazon. It's great not being in a hurry. I can order stuff and wait another day, no big deal

Can I use heater hose to vent my fuel tank? I’m talking about the vent on the top of the tank to the filler tube

My shop is 40x60 with a 17’ roof. That probably won’t work, do you agree?

Great pictures. That's exactly where my lift is. Thank you. I want nothing more than to do it right. So far this site has been nothing but great. What an awesome resource.

Ok. I did a bunch of research and it appears that lots of people recommend jack placement in the same position I placed mine. It looks like the most obvious place, and appears to also be the strongest support area. I did lower my car removing any stress. Thanks for the input.

It’s not on the floor. I think that would nearly destroy the car

I'm definitely not a purist. The gas tank, and the venting seemed like things that could possibly be a safety item, so I'm good with changing them.

I think my mechanical fuel pump has failed. I took it apart and cleaned it up, but it's still not working. I ordered a new one at O'reillys, it will be in tomorrow. I've read a little about electric fuel pumps, I like the idea of staying mechanical, what are most people doing? Can we go electrical and still stay original ?

I had the insulation installed when it was made. I have a kerosine heater. I'd like to find some type of electric heat so I don't have to keep the doors open. Any ideas. I chose 2 post over 4 because everybody that works around lifts day to day recommend them. The 4 posts seem to be in the way a lot.

Not even close! every criminal know's that one.

you're telling me. Dog house!

Installed. Wow, this is going to be nice

Got used two post Rotary going in tomorrow morning. Rotary SPOA10-FA . It's from a Sears store. This should be good enough for a Z car. ?

As I understand it the Rotary are good lifts, it’s just the revolution that’s bad , is that corrrect?

I was just getting a quote on a rotary lift installation and the guy suggested Rotary/Revolution, does anybody have experience with these lifts? I believe they are imported . Bad idea to use these ?

What should I use to fasten these bumpers back on ?

Removed.

I'm sure this method has been used before, but this is the first time I've removed these rivets. Looks like whoever removed this rivet lost the center, so they replaced it with a piece of wire. possibly 18 gauge pretty cool. When I removed the panel I found the plastic centers they lost years ago.

Thank you. I've got it in my shop by the door with a fan blowing the fumes out the door. It will have lots of time to cure.
