Promo video for zcon 2016 toronto

Got home at 2AM... miss ya all. It was a great time. Philip

Get your markers ready for our funny plastic money: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/04/canadians-spocking-5-dollar-bills_n_6797490.html but make Mr K pictures Hopefully the promo video will be in public domain soon.

Cliff, I wish we had more time to hang and talk. It was a pleasure to meet you!

We were very proud last night to see our members do so well at this years ZCON! I am sad to report that Jim Arnett is actually a vacuum and not human (as demonstrated by how he cleaned up the place). Mike and his son Alex warmed up by taking a muscle car award at a competition in Texas before coming to ZCON! Those two are a first class tag team! There are a few reports of temporary blindness caused by opening their hood in the bright sunlight of Memphis. I hope their insurance covers this! Zup's minty low mileage 73 won a well deserved award! Even though it was silver covered, it was golden yesterday. Lot of photos were taken by others that will show up soon. The highlights for me were meeting the gang and also seeing our better halves connect and have fun. Too bad they exchanged notes on how to tame our hobbies! Zup and I turned wrenches and drove his car at midnight last night...it was a blast that helped me get through a week of not tooling or driving a Z... BIG THANKS! It is always amazing to meet new faces just to realize that we are all so much alike: Patcon, Siteunseen, S30Driver....as well to meet old friends: Bpilati, Captain Obvious, SteveJ, and the great racer Gnose!

For completeness: Mr. Matsuo did not know what these are for.

Thanks Fred. Janet and just went there. It was great.

Steve, I'll see you in the afternoon. I saw Wendy in the elevator for 10secs. Janet and I took in the sights yesterday and will do in the AM. Will see you at suds n shine and reception ce soir.

Me too!

Great. Higher compression needs less total advance than stock. I forgot what you had

I guess everyone uses the timing light differently. I have an advancing light to I use a standard nulling method. At idle I just dial in advance on the light in steps until the mark on the pulley matches 0 TDC on the scale. The value on the timing light is the idle timing point. For maximum advance, I increase the throttle and watch the mark move until the mark stops then dial in advance on the light in steps until the mark on the pulley matches 0 TDC on the scale. The value on the timing light is the full advance timing point. This can be repeated at any rpm to plot the curve as well as with vacuum in and out to see its effect. When Rossiz and I tuned his Z (L28), 40 degrees BTDC total was too much advance. 36 to 38 was nicer and had more torque.

Steve, I bet if you tilted the valve cover more then slanted the engine more, you could make that motor (with two parallel valve covers) look like a V12

Orangetange Could be caused by springs/weights/lack of lube in the distributor for the mechanical or shaft wear and wobble or spindle to distributor key wear or spark scatter caused by ambiguity on the trigger side. When I rebuilt, lubed and switched to a ZX distributor, the high end rpms smoothed and so did the observations of the timing light at full advance. You should try for 38 degrees at full you may pick up a few more HP.

The real thing:

I wonder if the glass top stove polish would work?
