Dave, On my early driveshaft I got 21 1/8" from the centers of the two u-joints. I now have the later shaft in there and think it was about an inch longer.?.? I have to get up under there a little today and will see if I can get you that measurement.

here's that site http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=1803105&uid=786489&members=1

I would start with adjusting the valves cold until you're comfortable with the procedure. After that, move onto doing it hot after a fun run. I too was a bit scared about it until I actually did it. It's amazing how often that's the case when working on cars. There is a website out there where a gentlemen thoroughly described all steps and included pictures. I'll see if I can find it...or maybe someone else had it saved?

sent you a pm...

I really like the flight tag hanging from your rearview. Very clever! Your car looks good.

My stomach lurched when I realized what I was looking at in your photos. I'm glad to hear your baby is unharmed!

I've always liked how the information is laid out in this site: http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/engine.html

I spend most of my time either searching or getting updates on front page threads.

Fantastic passion you have. Enjoy those country roads!

I'm not saying you're foul and narrow minded, but that video is.

Thanks for the link. I wish there was another vantage of this car. Beautiful color. Can you imagine going to a swap meet like that??

That's a big change. I hope you and your family have a safe move.

I have a four speed, but if I had an automatic I would switch it to a manual for more control. Also, I personally feel that anything other than stop and go traffic a stick is more fun to drive.

I'm glad to hear everything worked out for you. Good luck in the future!

I agree with Ed. The tint will help keep what you have of value in better condition.

I certainly don't want to fight with anyone. I love this site. One of the reasons I like this site so much, is the tone it contains. It is mellow and respectful a majority of the time. It is a huge distraction and turn off for me at some of the other z sites b/c there is so much bickering and ego in effect. This topic HAS been covered a great deal already as most things have. Going to that link makes it quite clear why I received the response I did. And...I learned why the lever is in the position it is...money. Thanks

I don't think I was being hateful at all. Just responding to your public address towards me. I WAS being inquisitive....by asking a question. With the "why are you asking a question that has been asked before" mentality, what would be the point in having forums since most topics have been grossly covered anyhow? We can all just search away and hope for the best. As for being off topic. I've seen some of the best discussions on this site wonderfully develope from the most random initial topics. ---Jonathan

Either answer the question or don't. I certainly don't need to be told about the search function, as I have devoted an ungodly amount of time utilizing it in the past two years. Not to be too rude, but I hate it when people swing the search function ax around to people who have more than a fair amount of posts and are not asking vague questions.

Those cars are amazing. Thanks for the link. I wonder why on the fairlady everything is RHD, but the e-brake is still on the driver's side?

HAHAHAHA! Now that's funny:)

club la vela...now that takes me back! Good times!
