You guys were spot on - did the little bolt trick (and added grease). Thanks so much!!!

Encountering a situation where my rear brake lights will not turn off... have attempted to pump the brakes (that are functional otherwise) in an attempt to loosen any pressure switch that may be stuck - brake lights are still on. Suggestions from the peanut gallery where I might continue working the issue? Would prefer not to break the brake line circuit if I don't need to. Thanks much folks & Happy Turkey Day!! Steve

I have a '77... flattened my grease caps "gently" with a hammer, and the caps then fit. Have heard of others with earlier 1st-gens that were unable to get the caps to fit.

At the risk of sounding sexist (I'm not).... "No matter how good looking she is, there's somebody, somewhere that is sick of her sh!t". "Work hard, play hard, but don't let either one kill you".

ZMan, Check your fusible links... there is one within the fusible links block for EFI... there is also one that is part of the battery cable. Check both. I had some "finnicky" fusible links that would provide continuity one second, then none the next. I would check these... they could render your whole EFI system inoperable if the fusible link is not connected. Good luck!!!

Good deal... it's a good feeling getting the Z on the road for the first time in a while.

ZMan... You mention oil coming out of the slave... I assume you mean brake fluid? Oil will not give you the proper pressure needed to move the slave's piston. Might want to verify that the slave's rubber hose/line is not expanding/leaking with each attempt to press the clutch. If the hose is bad, it will absorb all of the pressure vice the slave's piston.

Carl the Bambi-Killer is one of the more entertaining members... his legacy is one of extensive expertise and knowledge, coupled with direct & "matter of fact" style. He's disagreed with me on more than one occasion, but I find his input nonetheless entertaining and credible.

ZMan... Post some pics as soon as you get the opportunity. Congrats... Pea

Haven't seen anything out of the good Carl lately... is he out there? I miss his feedback...

Ricklandia, Thanks for responding... you've validated your opinion very well. I cannot disagree with you as I didn't take as much into consideration as I posed the question.

If the race is held in Indy again (next year), there's going to be some really good seats available, for sweetheart prices I'm sure. Michelin stock is down 7% today... doh!

I was at the race yesterday... I was disappointed for the first time with my favorite sport... I will continue to love it though. It just pisses me off, though. Shame on Michelin for not testing/developing a tire that would perform at Indy... Bridgestone did their homework, no excuse for Michelin. No doubt, Michelin learned their lesson here... Shame on the Michelin teams for trying to point fingers at the FIA and Ferrari... this further builds their "case" for a break-away series in 2008. Shame on Bernie & Max for creating such turmoil in the sport through their back-door manipulation & strong-arm tactics. It will catch up with them soon... and yesterday may have been the beginning. My question (and I am going out on a limb here)... has the one-tire-per-race rule actually fulfilled its intent? The cars aren't driving any slower. I would venture to say that tire changes would allow teams to keep fresher (hence safer) tires on their cars throughout the race.

JB Weld should work... I think this is a common problem... had the same issue. After multiple unsuccessful repairs, I ended up buying new ones (with unbroken studs). JB Weld should work well... it is a plastic-on-plastic application...
