spray bar gasket?
I agree, blow out the oiler bar or spray-out with carb cleaner using a stray (I hit each hole to back flow then tip on end and spray from the inputs so that all 6 holes flow the same. Just use the cheap felpro gasket paper from any autoparts shop and cut new gaskets to fit the margins of the tube with appropriate holes for oil flow..

Can you turn the lights off and just put some aluminum foil over the device or a diffuser to send the light in many directions? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9fpolCvM-8&feature=youtu.be- Weber or Mikuni carbs for 240z

# of turns will vary with temperature. Colour tune can not tell you what is happening under load. Setting jet depth to spec then reading plugs is most likely similar or better in results. Measuring gases removes most guess work. An interesting phenomena shown on the graph below is that HC's increase when pig rich and also when very lean.- Finally clanked the clunk!!

The so-called Ron Tyler mount is over rated and far too complex. Easier Mounts: The Blue Racing Mount: Running stainless steel strap/banding under the differential neck (between the differential and the front mount) then wrapping it under the cross member and binding the strap there will do the trick and come in as the most lightweight and economical solution. Some correctly placed rubber and voila race ready strapping differential. Here are two other variants I like:- Garage Cabinets

- where does this ground go to?
It goes to any of the screws at the firewall. Try to connect it to one holding the coil bracket- will this vent hose be ok like this?
I think you mean the evap. line? If so,you ran it that far why not finish the job and vent it to the intake via the flow switch?- Comparing Zs to Porsches?

Symmetry of equality allows for left/right transformation of the equation. From a chemical equation, B(t)=P is more correct: Beer as a function of time= P- Priming The Pump
I think that a fuel primer bulb between the tank and the pump would be a good thing.- SU Bridge Evolution: Round Top vs. Flat Top (Comments welcome)
Another fun day Bruce! FYI: We took apart a power valve and looked it over closely (Thanks SteveJ that carb is finally under the knife). The power valve it is just a valve that opens off throttle when the manifold vacuum drops. It allows additional fuel from the bowl to be drawn through a small jet by vacuum. The nozzle is low just after the bridge so it will most likely spray fuel when the throttle opens quickly just before the piston starts to rise and possibly after the piston rises (IF there is sufficient vaccumto draw the fuel).We will have to measure when the weather is good. We also noticed a circular step in the back of the throat of the flat top (but not in the round). It looks like a weber choke is in there:- P=Be²r

Saw a 2CV leaving NYC last week. It sure leaned in the corners. Got a friend with a 912. I have yet to drive a Porsche. I'll have to pester him. The nicest driving car for me has been another friends 300zx TT with HICAS... it is like a lear jet going through corners... swooosh.- A car outcast needs some input from car guys.
I built some bicycle wheels in the past. Not difficult at all.... I imagine this would be the same task so long as the spokes are not rusted into the spoke nipples. If you are going to strip and paint or strip and plate (Chrome,nickel or (zinc/cad base)) then pb blast the spokes for a week before disassembling.- My shifter runneth over -- oil in shifter assembly. Normal?
I think it is a moot point. So long as the gears are lubed is the main thing.... filling to the spec and not reaching the drain hole, or over filling the spec. and reaching the drain hole depth seems to have little difference from reports here and from inspection of the drawings. As for oil at the base of the shifter.... was it poured in by past owner to lubricate or did it sling out? I think the first. - concave headlights
