I agree 100%. I had a overheating problem several years ago... car would overheat after running for some time, but there were no bubbles in the cooling system, no pressure build up I could tell, and
For all: My stroker has a fairly radical cam (1100 idle), bigger valves, flat top pistons, and some porting. I use early 240 Z carbs, which are same size as 2000 carbs. The stock manifold has been ho
For the list: If your closer to Richmond, Virginia, there is a guy downtown just off of RT 95, Hanlon Plate. He will straighten a Datsun Bumper and plate it for about 150, but it is not thick. He cal
The wheels are period correct, and look cool! The 5.5 width will take a 185X60 or 195X60 or 195X55 tire just fine. If you go over big bumps you might get some minor rubbing up inside the rear wheel
Good Morning List! My one good brother in law was cleaning out his garage. He has been going to motorsports races for just about forever. he gave me 7 pics, 3X5, black and white, from vintage races h
Everyone on the list has their favorite tires, but 14 inch tires with suitable performance are becomming rare, which makes a choice fairly easy. Punching in 185X60X14 on the tire rack site, for ultr
I just sent them. Let me know if the quality came through OK. The numbers are 99, 46, and looks like 41. The 46 and 41 car look like BRE cars, the 99 does not have the BRE stripe down the front fend
For all: I just spent $48 dollars for a quart of POR 15.....when my wife used to complain about these and many other related expenditures I pick from some of these and other choices: 1. I drive a 10
For all, Yep, there were a few of these things made by someone. Craig Halstead has one. I have seen it with my own eyes. I guess it would be best to say its "an aquired taste" to actually like the lo
I cc'd Craig on this. Its really not that heavy I think, but he can give an estimate from the last time he moved it around. I am thinking more like 50 pounds. It dosnt have to be structural, like a
I would think he would have at least one negative comment now....he is still 100% positive according to his selling history. Thanks for putting the word out though! Jim Chesapeake Virginia
This is great. I remember several winters ago there was a spirited contest of amature roadster Haiku on this list. Served to ease away some of the winter doldrums. Best Regards, Jim Chesapeake, Virgi
Did you have this pre-written, or did it just come to you in the short time since I sent my last post! Its so clear I can imagine myself in the seat, doing the same thing with my roadster. Glad it t
For all, I am surprised I have not heard of these guys before. I have prevsiously had good service and advice from CDM, Dean, Stan, and others, but have never used these folks. I dont want to start a
I am by no means saying CDM, Dean, or Stan was asking that $200 price for the wagon hatch weather seals.....I was looking in other places and that is the price I saw!!! Who knows, perhaps that is the
I usually pre-oil the motor by cranking it over with the starter motor, without spark plugs in. This in theory is more damaging to a dry motor, but you would not have to worry about the distributor
For those interested, Google Earth seems to usually have pretty accurate height above sea level data. I did not think the commercial sats had accurate radar alitmiters yet, but there data appears to
This is sure to bring a bit more recognition to our unknown little treasures. We can all make the usual good and bad arguments: 1. Our cars will all be worth more due to the potential visibility 2.
For all: This is mostly OT. Its my annual run down of insurance cost for my vehicle fleet from cheapest to most expensive. It could be sub-titled "Woe unto those who have teenage boys" Sure there are
