  1. Wait - are we talking cam timing or ignition timing?
  2. The smart thing to do is to degree it. There are variables to consider, but you could get away with straight up. Variables like chain stretch , head shave , make a difference . I'm running 9 degrees advance on my cam, but with above stated factors
  3. You'll love the brake kit. Been running it for years and haven't had any issues. The hydraulic brake I wouldn't trust for nothing. I kind of miss having a parking brake. All the components have worn well and the calipers still shine up nicely. Another benefit of his top hats is that your aftermarket wheels will clear the whee bearing cap and you can actually use your wheel caps. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
  4. I think the next thing for me is the linkage- about to go cable
  5. Definitely looks cleaner . Now go aftermarket ECU and get rid of more stuff - like dizzy and wires !
  6. Maybe my engineering backgrounds lends itself to more of a 'push your way thru and get it done ' mentality
  7. The combustion chamber is like a p90, but smaller , where as the Z 47 heads are more open. Also the head has a place for a CHT under #5
  8. Anal retentive and skilled . Your line referring to smog equipment - I have a nice complete smog bolt on if you need one . I won't be needing it for my resto mods Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
  9. Hard to tell if it was milled , but sure looks clean . Great alternative to a e31 head
  10. You can stop with all of the over the top craftsmanship and attention to detail. Not sure if I want to completely redo my 71 or not even bother trying to achieve your level of work. I think I will stick to resto mods and utilize my artistic license to skirt around all that hard work and relentless perfection
  11. Oh - and loving that triple airbox- it's almost as Nissan as mine- ha!
  12. Interested in value of the 'resto mod' done tastefully . My 70 might go that direction since I don't have matching engine. very nice car by the way!!
  13. Everyone blames the bad MPG on the carbs - never the right foot Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
  14. People see values go up and say it's time to unload. Market gets saturated - values go down . I like seeing values going up - so I don't complain much. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
  15. Is it low enough the fuel line will clear the hood latch frame? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
  16. Props to Jamal - he is great to deal with! If I get money in my PayPal I might get the shifter boot( inner rubber one)
  17. So this is getting more interesting. 86mm bore and O- ringed . The cam seems basically stock . Shims are .035 so betting chambers are about 39cc . cant upload any pics right now for some reason
  18. I couldn't find any markings anywhere on either end of the cam. I'm going to clean it up and likely trade it off to Steve Bonk that does cams to see what he can do with it. The head does have the bigger valves and has been shaved a few thou for sure with shims under the towers. Need to finish taking it all apart and getting it all tanked
  19. A donor panel and I would try it with a TIG welder and lots of time
  20. Its toast for sure and it's a drilled cam so it's not stock. It was running spray bar also.
  21. Nothing broke and it came apart nicely. Some goodies hiding inside . lightened flywheel high CR Pistons , 9mm rods
