Speaking of "dimes" - If anyone out there who has one needs a spare motor for
theirs, I have the L16 out of my old (and now long-gone) PL521 pickup. Needs a
ring job (which is why I swapped it out for a low-miles import motor from
Japan) but it has been slightly "breathed on" to the extent of L18 valves and a
slightly warmer cam for better breathing. Ran very healthy with that setup and
a 2-bbl Weber w/mechanical secondary.

Don't worry Matt - Friday-ites has hit here too and I am sure spreading
across the country...
All I can think about is getting home early to work on my Roadster
before the "activities" start for the weekend in which I will be lucky
to even look at the Roadster until Sunday night - late.
Yea, I would love to have another 510, but with 4 daily drivers I don't
have the room - and my wife's "car" patience is about gone:)
Alright - back to work... You too Matt:)

Toby,
Not many years back (5 or 10) you couldn't swing a dead Honda without
hitting one in L.A. They were all the rage for the ricer kids (just
after they got out of their Bug/Ghia phase). And they were a "dime" a
dozen.
Someone shoot me. This can't go on. I woke up feeling very punny today.
I seem to have come down with a case of Friday-itis.
Cashews.

Jeez. How much orange juice was IN my vodka? Sorry. I'll stop. :-)
"Use 510 stuff. Same design, cheaper, AND it's from a Datsun. ;^)"
Actually, how many 510s are left? I NEVER see any anymore. They used to
be everywhere... (am I dating myself here?) Do occasionally get flashed
by a 2002, though. 2002 parts are getting no more expensive, while
Nissan stuff seems to be increasingly unobtanium.
Nuts.
Toby
