BECAUSE THEY LOOK PRETTY!! And yes, they are going on a bigger motor. Like I said before, a 2.8 pushed out to about 3+ liters, big cam, big header and exhaust. As for the techs of the 60's, they could have been a bunch of snot nosed brats for all we know. I was quoting from (Z-car Magazine) I just did'nt think that every one was going to get their panties all twisted over 1 additional S.U. have a nice day :cheeky: Dave.

What.... No comments on the intrecasies and labor that went into the build? No asking how I managed the linkage and such? the 61' Jaguar E-type and the 62' Austin Healey (3000 MK.II) ran triples side-drafts on their straight sixs and only dropped back down to 2 when the service guys whined about keeping them tuned. If any of you read the Nov/Dec 1997 issue of Z-car magazine (page 45-47) you'd see what I was shooting for. I tried to keep a stock appearence with the exception of the third float bowl. I understand if y'all don't like it but a little incurragement goes a long way. How many of these have you ever seen? The set-up will go onto a F54 block punched out 40 over with a stage 2 cam, electronic ignition with an MSD 6AL , knife-edged and ballanced crank, turbo oil pump, not real sure what head I'll run but it will be ported and polished and most likely have bigger valves with 4 or 5 angle grind on 'em. Center force 2 clutch, B/W T-5 (manual) tranni, R-200 posi diff, CV halve shafts, 84' Toyota 4-piston calipers in the front and 240 SX disc brake conversion in the rear. Full Energy Suspension Kit, 25mm sway in the front and 19mm in the rear, KYB struts and Eibach progressive rate lowering springs............ There's so much more but I'm way off subject here, NICE wheels. I might trade up some day and get some of those. I got 225/55R16's all the way around at the present time. Dave

Those would look even sweeter with these under the hood, Dumb comment but what the heck, I just wanted to show em off. Nice wheels man!

in case you still havent found it, it looks like this. It has a protective sleeve over the what used to be white single terminal plug, It goes into a big white wire then into the harness that goes to the fusebox.

Mine did the same damn thing, glad to help when I can. Dave.

I'm not too sure on the 73' but on my late 70' the inline fuse is in the wad of wires that is located to the rear right of the center console. to the left of the heater motor, below the radio, just above the trani hump. All those are the same location, NOT many locations. the fuse holder is white with possibly a blue wire in it????? try that. Dave

I don't have a calculator handy but if I remember correctly, even if the L.E.D. is rated at 100,000 hours the total for being on 24/7, 365 days a year is still over 10 years and who the hell leaves their lights on for that long, At 12 hours a day it's over 20+ years at 3 hours a day, it's over 80 years. Ponder if you dare, Dave. P.S. Don't forget that the manufacturer does'nt calculate in the automotive variences like (vibration, moisture, voltage and current spikes, handling (grease and dirt from your hands) and stuff like that. The 100,000 hour life is under perfect testing conditions, like in a vaccum or a lab. More pondering for ya.

If you still can't get the nut out, Try pushing on her stomach or tickling her..........

The yellow Z in this picture has 20 percent on it it looks pretty dark fron the outside but you can see out of the car just fine. this is the only pic I got at the moment, the car is at my brothers house.

I've personally never seen the two #'s match. A VIN number is like a serial #. A car is a car and an engine is an engine. They can't have the same numbers. Am I correct guys???

I'm confused Mike, I thought almost all of the L-series had an off-set key so it was next to impossible to do a 180

and here's the add on E-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7948823698&category=38634

I found them on accident and checked them out. They are Dellorto's and that looks like a cannon manifold. What is the best triple setup for the money for my 240 with a soon to be 2.8 (not sure what head to use) 6-into-1 header w/ 2.5'' pipe. stage 2 cam. and should I use an electric fuel pump? forgot to tell ya, they are at $600.00 at the moment

Would relic be a usable term??

I actually wanted a pl/510 for a long time but never got around to buying one. I did own a 78' a10/510 but thats a completely different beast.
