Check out Nissan's Champagne. It's a medium to light gold. Rich yet racey. I think it was on 91-2000 Maximas and Altimas.

1) If a blonde is alone and says something profound is she still a dumb blonde? 2) If you put instant coffee in a microwave, can you travel back in time. 3) If someone from the government arrives and says they are here to help, is it true? 4) Why did the farmer cross the road? 5) Is there such a thing as military intelligence? 6) Why does your wife get mad at you, when you tell her about something that she does that makes you angary? 7) How does asprin know where it hurts? 8) If an emergency brake is for emergencies, then why do we use it when we park the car? 9) When a child is playing in a room by themselves, and you hear a crash, do they really think we believe the "I didn't do it!" explanation? 10) When you show a dog something by pointing, they look where you are pointing, while a cat will just lick your finger? 11) Who read all of these, and shouldn't I be in the office by now? It's 8:47 am. Hope everyone has/had a good day.

I agree!!!! Now back to our Z's.

I'm not sure when the thread was started, however I believe the quote was mine. Was it rude? Yes! Was it against the French people? No! It was an agreement with the originator of that thread and an observation they made. Which I took as a comment about the French government's lack of aid during the Iraq situation. And as it turns out their motive was ----MONEY. Some say money is our motive. I just remember the Twin Towers. It was also in response to the person that said we, the US, OWED the French for their help during the Civil war.?????? So is an apology due? Hell no!!! Not by me. I have no problem defending this country against someone that makes a comment I don't agree with. Much the same way anyone of you would defend a member of your family. I may not agree with everything here, but I'll not stand by and let a non-US person hammer us. Does that make me "patriotic"? Bet your arse it does. Self-righteous? No! I could care less if my opinion is one that everyone agrees with. But it's mine and I'll express it. So Steve don't make apologies for anyone but yourself.

Hi Vicky, My 72 came with the shoulder strap as standard issue. For the longest time it just hung behind the seat due to no desire to use it. Now--- like my roof, it's gone. However I getting a brace made so I can install a four point.

Does anyone really think Boyd's "Alumatub" was built for the street? Most likely a trailer queen showcar. As to the other issues, isn't there a federal agency thet dictates standards for new production cars and then states come up with specific laws for their own issues? On the safety equipment point, here in Florida we have a seatbelt law and a bumper height requirement law. In each case the law is upheld based on the equipment at the time of manufacture. This way Big Brother isn't taking away from our freedom completely. Should every car have seatbelts and bumpers? From a safety standpoint ,yes. From a freedom of expression standpoint, NO! If a builder wants to have a car that is period perfect and seatbelts don't fit then they shouldn't HAVE to be installed. There was a whole generation of then legal Hot Rods that are now being reproduced. Let the builder choose his look and standards. Forcing standard on vehicles such as these is just another way of some group trying to rewrite history!!!

Mainly because Boyd's "Alumitub" (spelling???) is not a street production car. The other point for any other street car is that it only has to meet the standards of the day it was built. Look at all the 32, 33, 34 Ford roadsters out there, not to forget Cobras. Some of those cars will be on the road as soon as their build is complete. No bumpers or airbags and they are basically new cars with new bodies not 30's rebuilds.

Hey Ozzy Guy. I don't know you, you don't know me,but the mear fact that you posted this thread says volumes about the thought of selling. Deep down you don't want to. I had a situation in the past where I was offered a good price. He drove the car, and then fanned out all these $100.00's. And just as I was handing over the keys. I thanked him and said no-thanks! Since then I've had the most fun doing new things to the car. My two kids fight over whose going to get it when I die. Can't sell a family member. I hope you make the right decision. Oh and I had a mustang----not the same at all.

For what it's worth, that's the route I went with my "72". Can drive often just not to be a daily driver. Premium was the best I found for the value of the car. That includes a tow package.

mriz, Southern air is at www.southernrods.com. I think the duct and shipping was around $10.00. Barrie

If you're not looking for stock items, go to an after market auto A/C supplier. I replaced my entire heat/ac unit with a setup from Southern Air. Don't have their web page but Street Rodder Mag would have it. Good Luck.

Boy oh boy. I had no idea that my "mostly stock" comment would stir up such additional conversation. Twelve years ago I had a bone stock 72, when I chose to make a working convertible of it. I have enjoyed the experience ever since. There are times now with the scaricity of clean cars that I,almost, wish I had left it alone, almost.. I would love to find a car that was at least "Mostly Stock" To put back into the "Correcter" category. I like the 3 levels breakdown.

A truly sweet looking ride !!!! Would love to have that one sitting in my garage. Wonder how high the bidding will go for such a clean example of a mostly stock Z.

I'm not sure about Crane, but when I installed a MSD system I had to buy an adapter for the tach to work right. Maybe you need to contact Crane to find if something like that is needed for your application.

What Kind Of Air Filters?

Winstonsmith, Your cars last owner did what I'm talking about. Looking at picture #1 above shows the linkage as it is on my car. I did the adjustment on my car some 20 years ago at the advice of a mechanic friend. He happens to race Datsun's and builds the cars he races. The only thing I neglected to point out is that I straightened the lower pivot point that attaches to the gas pedal linkage just slightly. I may have had to adjust the linkage bars also to allow for total travel. Made excelleration smoother with no loss of RPMs,

This might be an easier fix for what is being discussed. Flip the linkage at the firewall. Notice that the rod coming out of the firewall is attached to the short portion of the linkage, with the long portion pushing the carb linkage. By reversing that one bit of leverage you will have better leverage for the carb linkage. No cutting ,no welding.

I Removed The Front Bumper And Made A Custom Grill. I Thought It Cleaned Up The Look. I Have A Couple Pics In My Gallery

I got the POWER !!!! Oh Lord, Now I can come in the and soak up some A/C as I cut the 4 oaks and 1 pine tree from Jeanne. Why is the e-brake in the center?

I Need To Get On Site Earlier. Bases On These Posts I Think I'm Missing A Party. Wait That Would Mean I'd Have To Come To The Office Earlier Since I Still Don't Have Electricity At Home Yet. Damn Hurricanes!!!!

My wife thinks that I spent enough on the 72 to have "Gone out and bought a brand new car , rather than drive that old one". She ---could be right, but it would not be as much fun driving a new one. The bragging rights would also be gone. There is something special about having a hobby or passion that can be enjoyed by the owner as well as others.

You say that all systems have been gone through, Does that mean that you have pulled the gas tank and washed it out? The baffles are there to keep gas from sloshing away from the pick up, but thay can also keep 28yrs. of buildup nearby. Checking the tank is one point. The fuel filter is another. Another would be the float in the carbs. Most likley not the problem but worth at least checking as it is easier than pulling the tank. My 2 cents. Good luck!

Ditto To What Chris Said. Also I Was Having Problems Keeping A Charge Due To The Car Sitting For, Sometimes, Weeks At A Time. Got The Optima---no More Problems.

THe 240 is "The Gold Car". The 300 Is "The Red Car" In the earliy years when I didn't know her very well and she left me on the side of the road, The Gold Car was referred to as ----- well lets just say she hasn't done that in a lot of years.

Yes I have and no it isn't. It's like putting a very large glove on the hand of someone else. Take a little time and patience.
