Subject: [Roadsters] Slightly OT--Chrome shop
Message-ID: <20101101081924.P55Z4.6323401.root@mp14>

Has any one had any dealings with a chrome shop in Los Angeles called BumperBoyz? www.bumperboyz.com

My last chiropractor, who has a couple classics including a pristine 63 Impala, told me about them. They travel to shows all over the country, including a swap meet not too far from me. It seems they do mostly classic American cars, but I am sure they would do bumpers from our car. They do a swap for your "core" if they have in stock what you need. I am considering giving them a couple of my spare bumpers next time they are in southern WI. If I could save shipping on a couple bumpers, that would be huge. 

Thanks

hi tim, a good friend of mine got a bumper from them for a 57 ford. it had a
few imperfections
and he had to send it back for another one. i think, if you're not after
perfect show chrome,
their bumpers are fine. i think they are resonably priced too. they come to
columbus, ohio, to
the good guys street rod show in june.  good luck, bob smith 69 srl 311.

When I ordered from them, theyw wouldn't ship to California. Not a big deal, just shipped to family member out of state. Looks great on the car. I had them do the same lettering as my vanity plates too.

On a recent trip, my '67-1/2 2000 was running well when I noticed the
temperature gauge was pegged high.  When I determined that the car was not
actually overheating, I noticed the the fuel gauge had gone away low.  This
car has consistently run cool even in nearly 100 degree temperatures on I5 in
downtown LA, so I wasn't too worried.

I know these two gauges are fed through the gauge voltage regulator, but if
the voltage regulator fails, does the fuel gauge go low and the temperature
gauge go high?  This may be a moot point, because during a brief inspection
under the dash at the next town, I couldn't find the gauge voltage regulator.
I sure isn't where it is supposed to be, and there is some contraption with a
number of wires running in and out, wrapped in electrical tape, which isn't on
any roadster wiring diagram I have ever seen.

I know I am in for some quality time with the dash wiring, on my back with the
seats removed, but I wondered if the one-high, one-low response is normal.
The rest of the electrical system seems to work OK, so it may come down to
biting the bullet and rewiring the two gauges.  Appreciate any intellignece
the List can offer.

 I would expect the Fuel gauge to go low since the less voltage it
gets the less it reads.
 As for the Temp gauge, who knows?
 Just treat what you see as a definite symptom of the VR playing up.
 They normally only have 2 wires, 12V feed and the instrument feed.
 The VR is grounded through its case normally but if an electrically
challenged PO has had a go at it, once again, who knows :)

 Maybe if the wire comes loose on the temp sender and lands on the exhaust
manifold it is going to read hot. The VR grounds on the steering column so
that has to be clean, along with the contacts. New ones are pricey but I
believe a 510 one works just mounts slightly different.

in electrical tape, which isn't on
any roadster wiring diagram I have ever
seen.

I know I am in for some quality time with the dash wiring, on my back
with the
seats removed, but I wondered if the one-high, one-low response is
normal.
The rest of the electrical system seems to work OK, so it may come
down to
biting the bullet and rewiring the two gauges.  Appreciate any
intellignece
the List can offer.

 Hi Guys
     Does anyone have info on lower front fascia for our 311's?  In a recent
post on this net I saw a beautiful silver hard top 311 with a super looking
front fascia / splitter.  Now, it's  must have.

Jim,
That was most probably Eddie Wu's front fascia, which is an MGB airdam
that has been sectioned (narrowed), and looks every bit as gorgeous in
person as in those pics.

I swapped out the carbs on a 1966 1600 (some of you might be familiar with "Amy's" car) To start the choke is in (off) and to drive it is out (on). If I leave the choke in it pops and sputters, too lean I am assuming. If I try and start the car with it out it floods out. I always thought it was the other way around, choke out to start choke in to drive once it warms up that is. Any idea what is going on here? The car is orange but yellow might have been more appropriate...

Are there no zerks for the U joints, or am I missing something?

That's back wards.

You pull the choke to start your engine. When you pull the choke, it restricts
the air flow into the carburetor thereby enriching the fuel mixture. You need
to enrich the mixture when the engine is cold.

As the engine warms up, you push the choke in. When the engine is warm, you no
longer need the choke.

Modern cars with fuel injection usually have an extra injector called a cold
start injector. Same concept. The cold start injector temporarily enrichs the
cold engine to start it. Once the engine is warm it shuts off.

Use the 311s.org wiring diagram:
http://www.311s.org/PDFs/1966-67%20Datsun%201600%20Sports%20Wiring%20Schemati
c%20ver2rev3.pdf

Trace the wires from the gauge to the regulator. The regulator is mounted
under the dash near the steering column. Older units have two screws to mount.
Newer units have a single screw. Older units are no longer available but, you
can get the newer one from Dean. Either one will work. Other vendors may have
them also.  They're a bit pricey so, check for proper ground and wiring before
you decide to replace.

On a recent trip, my '67-1/2 2000 was running well when I noticed the
temperature gauge was pegged high.  When I determined that the car was not
actually overheating, I noticed the the fuel gauge had gone away low.  This
car has consistently run cool even in nearly 100 degree temperatures on I5 in
downtown LA, so I wasn't too worried.

I know these two gauges are fed through the gauge voltage regulator, but if
the voltage regulator fails, does the fuel gauge go low and the temperature
gauge go high?  This may be a moot point, because during a brief inspection
under the dash at the next town, I couldn't find the gauge voltage regulator.
I sure isn't where it is supposed to be, and there is some contraption with a
number of wires running in and out, wrapped in electrical tape, which isn't
on
any roadster wiring diagram I have ever seen.

I know I am in for some quality time with the dash wiring, on my back with

How many did you find?
Each A-frame has 3
Each tie rod has 2
The idler box has 2 - I think
The parking brake linkage has 2 - I think, one under the passenger seat 
and one at the rear bellcrank.

There should be a list on 311s.org.

At the end of the Q&A section at 311s.org gives a list:
http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwiki.php?n=TechSection.GreaseZerks

When I decided to grease everything as part of restoring our 1969 2000, 
I found plug bolts instead of grease zerks in both upper ball joints and 
both ends of the tie rods on both sides, and had to remove them and 
install 6 new zerks. Not a hard job, but yikes, no grease in these 
components since birth at the factory!?!? Has anyone else encountered this?

Don't know if it means anything, but my 1963 single carb, which has been in 
my possession since 1967,  has an external slave cylinder spring.  It had 
the original clutch when I bought it from my sister, who got it new, so it 
must be the way it came.

Sometimes, a frugal mechanic will unscrew the plug, install a zerk,
lube the joint, and replace the plug. And I can argue that's the best
way to do a U-joint.

That said, likely yours is the first aftermarket grease these parts
have seen :-)

David,

Yes, it is "out to start", "in to run".

I'd like to help, but there are too many possibilities.  If the car starts 
without the choke, but will not run without it, something is real wrong. I 
presume the ignition system is all in order, and compression is within 
specs.  If you don't feel qualified to set the carbs up from first 
principles, I'd get them to a professional.

If you like the car, and want it to run right out of the box, Z-Therapy is 
pricey but they get it right.  You won't have to worry whether throttle 
shafts leak, nozzles are worn, needles are worn, the suction pistons move 
freely and are not worn, the relationship between the throttle butterflies 
and the nozzles with the "choke" engaged is correct....

There is another outfit, whose name I do not recall, Cincinnati-based I 
believe, which sometimes sells refurbished carbs on eBay.  I have no 
experience with them, however.  I have installed a set of Z-Therapy carbs on 
a friend's car, and it fired up and idled smoothly with no adjustments. 
They were even close to being balanced correctly.

Gary

"That's back wards.

You pull the choke to start your engine. When you pull the choke, it restricts
the air flow into the carburetor thereby enriching the fuel mixture. You need
to enrich the mixture when the engine is cold."

Actually, on an SU, the main jet is lowered, adding more fuel to the mixture.
Additionally, the throttle plate's pulled open a bit to add air.  No
'strangler' for an SU, just a 'gasser'.

And thus, if your mixture is too lean, your jet set too low, your
float level's low or crud's built up on the inside of the jet body,
the car will only run 'on the choke' which is really 'on the enrichment lever'.

Weber DCOE's have an entire little carburettor to do what an SU does by dropping
the main jet a few mm.

I got a set of Libre wheels (Shelby not ARE) and mounted them on my '70 2000.
The tire is seriously close to the fender on the right side but the left has
lots of room to spare.



How much 'slop' is there in the frame/body location?  If I loosen up the body
can I slide it over about > inch to even things up?  If not, any other ideas?

The stupid obvious question: Are the flares the same size on both sides of the car? Or was a rear quarter replaced with a different year's sheet metal?

Same thing happened on my '66 1600 (no replaced quarter panels).  I did loosen
the bolts, slightly jacked the body up and "persuaded" it to the passenger
side using a wooden block and a sledge hammer.  Got about 1/4" out of that
effort, but enough to help.  Be careful that you do not interfere with any
fuel or brake lines, and good luck.  Elongating the bolt holes a bit might
improve the results.  Of course you could always "roll" the flares a bit for
clearance, but my big problem was the tire rubbing inside the top of the wheel
well over bumps.

 I had heard that if the car starts without the choke then the mixture is a
little rich.  Perhaps that is more true with the stock needles. Also seems
easier in the summer than winter to start without the choke.

I know that needle profile seems to have a lot to do with when you are
as much as where you are.

I've been told that cars running in high altitudes run better with a
different needle than stock due to changes in air density. This also
seems to be the case with changes in fuel composition or octane levels
over the years.

When I bought my roadster in the 70s, it ran super on stock needles,
even ingesting 89 octane regular. Then I got married and put the toys
away. About 20 years later I decided to rebuild the car and found that I
could not get a decent idle and/or smooth revving above 4000. After
changing to a non-stock needle profile, things went back to running nice
and smooth.

Then the front carb would not stop leaking gas, so I got a rebuilt set
from Z Therapy. Until I swapped the needles to the non-stock profile I
used in my old setup, I had similar idle/revving issues. She runs better
than super now. Go figure.

By the way, I live in California. What's a 'choke'?

Paul, 

Do you know what needles you are using (and where you got them) that you put in those ZTherapy carbs? I may be having a similar issue with my newish ZTherapy carbs...I can't seem to get the mixture right. It goes from too rich to lean with very very little knob adjustment. Others have suggested to me that the needles that ZTherapy use in their carbs are not exaclty/perfectly  correct for the Roadster. 

Any one else have or wonder at this issue with new ZTherapy carbs?

Re ZTherapy - I got mine for a 2000 and they worked perfectly. It was so easy
to set them up.
 
I had previously used another service (Apple) and they screwed the carb jets
up, used the wrong ones. I spent a month fighting them.
 
BUT Jeff is the guy to use. He knows the carbs inside and out. He has the
parts and is the resident expert. I just didn't know at the time I had ZT do
mine.

Good thread on needles (haha...pun intended):

Paul, 

Do you know what needles you are using (and where you got them) that you put
in those ZTherapy carbs? I may be having a similar issue with my newish
ZTherapy carbs... I can't seem to get the mixture right. It goes from too
rich to lean with very very little knob adjustment.

Others have suggested to me that the needles that ZTherapy use in their
carbs are not exactly/perfectly correct for the Roadster. 

Anyone else have or wonder at this issue with new ZTherapy carbs?

I know that needle profile seems to have a lot to do with when you are as
much as where you are.

I've been told that cars running in high altitudes run better with a
different needle than stock due to changes in air density. This also seems
to be the case with changes in fuel composition or 
octane levels over the years.

When I bought my roadster in the 70s, it ran super on stock needles, even
ingesting 89 octane regular. Then I got married and put the toys away. About
20 years later I decided to rebuild the car 
and found that I could not get a decent idle and/or smooth revving above
4000. After changing to a non-stock needle profile, things went back to
running nice and smooth.

Then the front carb would not stop leaking gas, so I got a rebuilt set from
Z Therapy. Until I swapped the needles to the non-stock profile I used in my
old setup, I had similar idle/revving issues. 
She runs better than super now. Go figure.

By the way, I live in California. What's a 'choke'?

Fred,

It was not uncommon for roadsters bodies to be installed offset on the 
frames.  My '66 was.  But, I don't see anywhere near an inch difference 
between the two sides.  And, the holes in the body are not slotted or 
enlarged to allow for movement.  I had to carefully grind away some material 
to shift the body by about 3/16 of an inch.

I see Tim asked whether you have the same year quarters on each side.  Even 
if you don't, though, I don't see you picking up an inch on one side.

Gary

Hey everyone,

I realized the other day that my new top did not have the flaps of fabric that
wrap around the soft top frame's scissors arms and then buttons to the top.

Upon closer inspection, the flaps are there but they are tucked behind the
arms.  The installer is going to correct this for me, but I was wondering if
any one could tell me how many snaps are on each flap?  Just want to make sure
I get what I paid for.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is a stayfast canvas top.  I have heard five and four.  Don't want to
let the off with just two.

The canvas top I bought from Dennis a couple of years has velcro
strips on those "frame covers" rather than snaps. I like it since you
don't have to force the fabric to an exact spot. One thing I noticed
on the several soft tops that I've had on my roadsters if the
difference in fit in the factory tops and a replacement piece that was
installed by hand. The factory tops seem to fit better.

Since I doubt they had totally automated assembly lines in the factory
in the mid/late '60s they must have had some jigs set up and
experienced workers to get the top assemblies so consistant. The guy
that did my "new" top did a very good job, but I'm still not sure the
fit and adjustment is quite as good as an OEM tops back in the day.
Then again, the canvas is a far better grade of fabric, too.

My son's new stayfast top came with Velcro in this location.

New wheels have a clear coat so, you can't polish them.  The old stuff doesn't
so, you are safe with just about any polish. I like Mother's polish and have
always polished by hand. The trick is use lots of rags. The polish pulls out
the grime and turns it into a black residue which, you have to wipe off with a
clean rag. If you don't constantly change out rags, you just smear the black
residue around. Mother's sells a power ball polisher that attachs to your
drill. I've never tried it but, it looks like it would work. Maybe someone on
the list has tried it. Dan'66 1600

Home Brew =  Elbow Grease

Strip/Clean wheels with chemical stripper or degreaser.  If you decide to
blast them in any way, make sure to not dig too deep into areas you want fully
polished (I learned this long ago with a set of sweet wheels for my old Bug.)

Prep/Polish with increasing finer grits of sandpaper/abrasives.  For me and my
last set of "pick and pull" wheels I started at 220, then 320, 400, 600, 1500,
2000, all wet sandpaper. These 'American Racing Spectres' are on my Roadster
still today, many are surprised I hand polished them or that they came from a
junkyard.

Finish with Mothers Mag Polish ( I have used this for over 20 years, IIRC
there may be other (read, better and easier) products these days.)

Last put a sealant on if you prefer.

I have put paint on before and after polishing, and I tend to have less
mistakes when I polish first, then paint.  Overspray is easier to remove from
full polish anyway.  Oh yeah, bring the wheels camping or when visiting
long-winded relatives, it give you something to do with your hands.

And hit your Doc up for anti-arthritic drugs when finished...

Hope this helps a bit...

If you have a compressor, and a 1/4" die grinder, this kit from Eastwood 
will make short work of them.
http://www.eastwood.com/ew-wheel-buffing-kit.html
I bought the kit to do the rims I bought off Ebay for the "R", our custom 
'66, and it worked great.  It inclides two different compounds, a coarse one 
to cut through the oxidation, and fine to bring and the shine.  I keep them 
shiny using Mothers or Wenol.

Harbor Freight has cheap prices on die-grinders if you don't have one.  You 
could also probably use an electric drill, but would be harder to turn this 
way and that to get the various angles.

True that, Mark,
But speaking of Harbor Freight, ...here is bascially the same thing with 
MORE buffing attachments and compounds for ALOT less:

http://www.harborfreight.com/14-piece-aluminum-polishing-kit-98707.html

I used this kit to polish out my SU domes, with awesome results,... there 
are pics of them on the 311s Forum.

PS,...You will still need a 1/4" die grinder or high-speed electric rotary 
tool equivalent to polish well in a reasonable amount of time. I've also 
tried the Mequire's buffing ball and the HF kit on a drill, ......one 
word.........for-gedd-about-it........
Good Luck,

HF didn't offer that kit back when I did my wheels - looks like a great 
bargain!!  Even better if you've got a HF retail store 10 mins. away....

My factory top fits fine, but the "flaps" don't line up properly on one 
side -- the two halves of one snap are mis-aligned.  Not so with my StayFast 
top which was custom installed.

All,
thanks for all the responses.  When I got to the shop, they pulled out the
original hardware packets I gave them, and sure enough, they had the makings
of ten snaps (oh snap!)

When they got in the car with a light they found all ten markings on the flaps
for the buttons.  In about 1 hour I was back on the road.

Oh did I mention it was rain/snowing?  What a treat.  Time to put the roadster
away until spring:-(.

 I've used the triangle shaped buff on a drill with polishing compound after
first prepping with sandpaper on my wheels. Works pretty well I think.

Message-ID: <63303E57A6A24A2AB32D4837192498E8@owner4d7e0adce>

Thanks for all the help e/bodys given me on fixing up my 66.

After getting my questions answered on cleaning up my alum. mags, I went to
start and found I only have 3. Been so long I don't know if I never had 4, or
a local scrap metal guy thought he should have 1.

Then I measure them and they're 14" and the steel rims on my 66 are 15".

Guess I'll live with the steelies for a while.

On to the next project.

My muffler is way too loud. I look underneath and see apparently 1 muffler 1/2
way back, and another near the rear.

Are these both actually mufflers? Can just 1 be replaced with good results?

Also, I like to hear my exhaust, but don't want it to be loud.

Anyone have suggestions for a good inexpensive replacement?

Stock is 13" on the early 310's with drum brakes, and
14" for the later ones. There's two widths of 14" as well, as
I recall early was 4" and later was 4.5" but don't quote me.
Your 15" wheels came from somewhere else...

The one in "the middle" is the muffler, and the canister near the
end is a resonator, to smooth out the exhaust note.

I suspect the innards have blown out of the muffler and maybe
the resonator.

Correct. The later (starting in '68?) stock steel wheels are 4-1/2 inch
width, which is stamped on the rim.

I'm pretty sure there was a thread or two on the 311s.org forums discussing
different muffler options/preferences. Some even with sound clips.

Larry,

John has it right.  The factory muffler is straight-through, with one, 
cone-shaped, perforated baffle which restricts the pipe diameter to about 
half.  If you have a factory late-model resonator, its pipe ID is slightly 
smaller than the inlet, and there is no baffle at all.  It's just a 
glass-pack.  The factory parts produce a pretty mellow sound, nastier with a 
header.

This may not be answerable but I am curious as I have a 2000 that might need some head work next spring....

Is there a common size used/needed for the cam tower shims? Or is the thickness of the shim going to ALWAYS be based on how much has been cut off the head's thickness?

If I had shims made (I know someone who owns a machine shop), is any one in need of or interested in acquiring a set(s) if I do get them made?

Also, What is the best material to use for these shims?

Thanks

It does depend on how much the head has been milled, since you are trying to
get the cam back to its original location relative to the crank. Stock head
thickness should be around 4.528-4.530".

DatsunParts.com has them in several thicknesses.

 From memory, the shims are selected by the machinist to suit the 
dimension he is aiming for when re-surfacing the head, if necessary.
I found some old L series cam tower shims the other day and they 
appeared to be made out of plastic, nylon probably, others were metal.
My advice is to let the machinist work with what shims are available.

Remember that the cam tower mounting pads probably need to be trued up
in addition to the head surface. If you don't make sure the cam tower
bores are straight the cam can in a bind. Since the cam doesn't use
bearing inserts the towers can't be aligned bored.

The L-series heads are the same design. That's why you need to select
your machine shop/machinists carefully. Many machine shops have no
idea how to do the job right.

FWIW,
Ron

Cam towers can be align bored since it is only necessary to remove a 
bit of material from the base and a bit from the cap.  Frank 
Honsewetz  recently had the cam towers on a U-20 align bored on a 
head to use on a engine that he built for a 67 2 liter that he used to own.

It is usual to find that the cam tower bores are still alinged if the 
top of the head is flat after surfacing.  If a head is severely 
warped it should be straightened by a competent shop before any 
material is removed in order to preserve the rocker arm geometry from 
front to back.

Good advice from all.  On the shim material question, if you must make them
yourself, you can buy "Shim Stock" from most tool supply places in whatever
thickness you need - it's quite inexpensive.  That said, buying pre-made
shims from a vendor is a good idea.

You'll also need to be careful aligning the cam towers or find someone who
knows how to do it.  I did mine myself and it's not hard.  You just have to
be careful and constantly check that the cam continues to rotate freely as
you tighten the towers down to spec.  (You do this without the rocker arms
in place)  If you get it wrong, you can cause the cam to break.  My advice
is that if you're not clear on what you're doing; pay a pro to do it so that
if they screw it up, they pay for it.

Also, What is the best material to use for these shims?

I'm replacing the seals on the pistons of my front disc brakes on my 66.

Do you just stretch the seal onto the piston, or does the piston come apart
somehow to replace the seal.

It just seams like quite a stretch and I didn't want to ruin my new seals.

 The red grease that comes with the seals is supposed to be used to make
assembly easier. It is compatilble with brake fluid.
Did you clean out the cylinders well? There are some pics on 311.

Lubricate with a little brake fluid helps to fit them.

We would like to thank all the buyers of The Datsun Roadster Book and our
Owner's manuals for their purchases and support of Komen for the Cure.  After
tallying the totals from eBay and our website (and adding a few dollars for
rounding) we have made a nice contribution to Komen for the Cure.  We also
thank those who sent us notes of encouragement for our effort.  Keep the Komen
for the Cure folks in mind as you make your year-end charitable
contributions.

Going forward we are going to try something a bit different.  From now until
December 8th purchasers of the 3-volume set of The Datsun Roadster Book will
receive a free Owner's manual of their choice PLUS we will make a donation of
20% of total sales from eBay and our website to the Best Friends Animal
Society in Kanab, UT.  You may be familiar with them from the Discovery
Channel series "Dogtown".  Best Friends was the only rescue organization
willing to take Michael Vick's pit bulls and try to rehabilitate them - which
met with great success.  Their website notes:

'The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary at Angel Canyon, at the heart of the Golden
Circle of national parks in southern Utah, is home on any given day to about
2,000 dogs, cats, and other animals, who come from shelters and rescue groups
around the country for special care they can only receive at Best Friends.

Most of the animals who find their way to Best Friends have special physical
or behavioral needs, and our expert staff of veterinarians, trainers and
caregivers offer them all the help they require.  Most of them are ready to go
to good new homes after just a few weeks of special care.  A few, who are too
old or too sick, or who have suffered extra trauma, find a home and haven at
the sanctuary, and are given loving care for the rest of their lives."

You can also visit their website to learn more at http://www.bestfriends.org/

We think this arrangement works well for all involved - we like selling books
and contributing to worthy organizations, the organizations need the support,
and you get a great deal on information that will help you maintain and enjoy
your roadster.  Even if you don't buy anything, please consider supporting
this organization.

For those not interested, apologies for the intrusion.  For those who ARE
interested, thanks in advance for your support.

Linda,

I think the red grease is for assembly of the pistons/seals into the
cylinder 
housings.

  He started a few months back at $3500.  Last weekend he was begging for

offer, after turning down my offer.  Just wondered if anybody else had tried

Matching numbers 1967 1/2  fairlady.  My visions of grandure have come to an
end. It's time to get ready to full time rv and I can't take my roadster with
me. The car has aproximately 118k miles and I drive it regularly.  Yea it
looks pathetic but it is so much fun to drive. You may contact me early
afternoons and evenings at 775-884-0140.  I have a hard top and the
convertable top frame.

Group,

 

I'm selling one of my roadster's. I need the money and the room. I purchased
this car last winter basically for the soft nice top that it had. I replaced
that top with an older but functioning top. I spent several months working
on this car to get it in better electrical and mechanical condition.  If you
open the Craig's list page you can see what's been done to it. I'm asking
$3500.00 

 

Thanks

As you can see, I am not great at selling stuff and have been getting a lot
of questions. 

 

I bought the car in 1999 as a project.

I worked on it for about 2 years.

Here is a small list of parts I put on it:

 

New:

Clutch/throw out bearing

u-joints

brake lines

complete new wiring harness, end to end

tach and speedo cables

new rebuilt z-therapy carbs, it had the wrong ones on it

header and muffler system

leaf springs

paint

chrome re-plated

stainless polished

cloth upholstery

 

Lots of parts in boxes,

I have the original wheels and hub caps

Brown convertible top

Hard top (I have never even set it on it's been in the attic, not even
painted with car)

 

Needs TLC, been driven less than 1000 miles since it's been built. The rear
end is noisy. I have a complete rear end bearing seal kit in a box.

 

I am asking 8k. I have well over that in the car, but everything is
negotiable

 

Just installed a brand new group 53 battery in it, try and get one of those!

I tried the website listed in the magazine and it requires a user name and
password to get into the site. Can
anyone tell me how I can get a sub to that magazine? It seems like a pretty
good magazine.

Does anyone have a U20 timing cover that they would be willing to part with?

I changed out the timing chains and gears and discovered that the cover has a
crack in it!  It runs all the way to the seal so welding it will require
machine work as well.  Replacement is a far better option.

turns out it's for a front disc 411...and since I have one I guess I'll have to keep the rotor :-) hadn't even had the wheels off since I bought the car and brought it back from the west coast

Oct '66 to Sept '67 RL411/WRL411. Those are the 411's that came with the R16
motor; sometimes badged as the SSS model.

Those rotors have been NLA for years.

Hey all,

I am curious as to how many of you caught American Top Gear on history channel
last night?  I caught it this afternoon on dvr.

I thought it was interesting and it had it's moments.  I could care less about
lambos, but the viper vs cobra helicopter was cool.  The Suzuki was pretty
funny too.  Could be a fun series.  Tanner can be annoying, but was not too
bad.

I have not seen many of the Brit version as my cable company sucks.  But what
I saw, I really enjoyed.

Anyway, curious what the rest of you thought.  Next week, the 370z will be
featured.

I watched most of it.  They don't have the chemistry yet.  They were using 
much of the original Top Gear lines and props, but missed the mark a bit.  I 
think, if you don't know much about the original you may not "get" some of 
the intended humor.  Maybe they are trying too hard to be an exact copy of 
the original series?  I don't know, just didn't do it for me.

The car stuff is fun, but who doesn't like to watch smoking Lambo tires?
I'll probably watch again, but I much prefer setting here watching re-runs 
of the Brits.  Two old episodes on tonight, but still funny.....

I watched part of it, but it didn't grab me enough to make me stay up until
11:00, especially when the alarm goes off at 5:00 a.m. I've managed to see
some of the British episodes (that my friends have pirated off the Internet)
and I do get a kick out of those.

Maybe my hopes were up too high.

I was expecting more, I hope they do more with common cars.  I will never own
a Lamborghini, and that is fine with me.  I want to see stuff that might be
obtainable.  I may have to find more top gear uk on the internets.

Several of the Brit series are available from Netflix.  Series  9 thru 13 are on 
DVD available now, series 9 thru 12 can be streamed, and the earlier ones are in 
the making.

Hi folks,

(on my soapbox now)

Jeremy Clarkson is Top Gear.

All the others aren't.

He knows cars and he's funny with his distinctly English views of the 
world, people and cars.  It doesn't work as well to have an Australian 
or American version - a pommy isn't either of those and so it's 
different.  I never bother watching the Australian version.  I can't 
imagine what the other one is like.

(step down from soapbox)

my apology,
and best wishes,

Eric in Oz

Agreed.  I particularly don't understand the attraction to things and 
people 'drifto'.

Nothing quite like the original, even when Clarkson ventures to touch 
the stars in a U-2.

I haven't watched it yet, but I do have it recorded.  I love the British
version.  Those 3 guys (James, Richard and Jeremy) have amazing chemistry
together.  Not sure that can be imitated or copied.  For those that haven't
seen the BBC version, it's really about the unobtanium cars with a few
everyday cars thrown in.  TopGear has its own channel on youtube.  Audio seems
to be kind of hit or miss, though. http://www.youtube.com/user/TopGear
Also that was James May in the U2

?hi.  I'm in search of

1.  electronic voltage regulator to replace existing one on car

2.  contact info for person/company which takes various components, like a 
voltage regulator, and replaces the guts with electronic components within 
the existing shell so the car still looks original

this may be the same person/company

My initial suggestion is for you to use the Solid State VR that was 
fitted to the late model P[L]510s.
It is a body mounted IC but will probably fit inside the Roadster can 
used by the electromechanical version.

I've got one kicking around somewhere but you should be able to get one 
from a Auto Dismantler or maybe Nissan?

Message-ID: <322149.2482.qm@web51106.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi all
I bought my SRL-311 4 years ago. It was on Ebay, and looked good. When I
picked it up, it seemed fine. Complete Solex engine, started fine. I paid for
it. Then I drove it home.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't make proper speed. I mean it topped out at 90, and
would not go any faster. 
When I got home, I discovered that the previous owner had a kink in the choke
cable for the front carb, and it was always on choke. That extra fuel washed
the oil off the front two cylinder walls, and compression was only 70 and 85
lb each, better with oil. The back two were OK, I think about 135-145 if I
recall. 
So I got a used engine (from Craig) and rebuilt it, from hot tank up. Got the
SU setup for simplicity. I don't need the extra power and my old Datsun when I
was a kid had the SUs and I understand them.
I really have no use for the old Solex engine. It has the complete setup, but
the air cleaner housing is pretty poor. Otherwise, it is a pretty simple thing
to bore it out a bit and install new pistons. I don't think you could just
replace the rings. It has been stored indoors under a tarp. It ran fine when I
pulled it out.
I'm accepting offers. I can crate it for shipment. Also available is the 5
speed transmission, which worked fine when removed. I put a rebuilt tranny in,
since I had the engine redone anyhow. 
Did I mention it has a B cam and a complete Solex setup?

I am sending photos to those who asked, advise if any more are interested.
 
They won't post to the list, you have to ask for me to email it to you.
 
I can drag the engine out of it's corner in the garage and get better photos.
I guess I should.
 
I am NOT selling the air cleaner separately, so just buy the engine too! (But
I will sell the 5 speed separately) I did wipe the dust off the air cleaner,
but didn't polish it. It looks good. The problem is the marks from where the
wingnuts tightened against the air cleaner, the thin aluminum sheetmetal
deformed. One is worse than the other. My guess is that there was supposed to
be a S/S washer under the wingnut. It isn't nice to have the marks, but adding
a washer ought to make it fix it. You could also weld in reinforcement. I'l
just use a S/S large pattern or oversized faucet washer, possibly even just
cut it out of sheet S/S.
 
I'm not a seller, but I have bought things from various list vendors.

Don't the '70 fenders come with the bigger, square side marker cutouts?
Experts? Bueller?

If so, you'll need a '68 (no cutout) or '69 (teardrop) fender.

I have a set of 70's and they have the rectangular holes for the side markers.
They do have rust by the door area and much body work would be needed. Not
many dings or dents.

Subject: FW: The Definition of Acceleration... 






	
	

Read this thru slowly and try to comprehend the amount of force produced in just under 4 seconds! 

There are no rockets or airplanes built by any government in the world that can accelerate from a standing start as fast as a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car! 



DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION 
One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500. 

It takes just 15/100ths of a second for all 6,000+ horsepower of an NHRA Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the rear wheels. 

Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced. 

A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the dragster's supercharger. 

With 3,000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. 

Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle. 

At the stoichiometric (stoichiometry: methodology and technology by which quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions are determined) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture of nitro methane, the flame front temperature measures 7,050 deg F. 

Nitro methane burns yellow... The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases. 

Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder. 

Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After halfway, the engine is dieseling from compression, plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1,400 deg F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow. 

If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half. 

In order to exceed 300 mph in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4G's. In order to reach 200 mph (well before half-track), the launch acceleration approaches 8G's. 

Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed reading this sentence. 

Top fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light! Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load. 

The redline is actually quite high at 9,500 rpm. 

Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimate $1,000.00 per second. 

The current top fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.428 seconds for the quarter mile (11/12/06, Tony Schumacher, at Pomona, CA ). The top speed record is 336.15 mph as measured over the last 66' of the run (05/25/05 Tony Schumacher, at Hebron, OH). 

Putting all of this into perspective: 

You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter 'twin-turbo' powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a top fuel dragster is staged and ready to launch down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line and pass the dragster at an honest 200 mph. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment. 

The dragster launches and starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums and within 3 seconds, the dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter mile away from where you just passed him. 

Think about it, from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 mph and not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1,320 foot long race course. 

...... and that my friend, is ACCELERATION!

I have a pretty decent '68 I could part with. I'm changing bodies anyway.

I took more pictures of my 69 2K motor for sale.
The files are big, I have to figure out how to compress them with this darn
MacBook. I thought they were supposed to be easier than a PC.... 
If anyone else wants one, and their name is not on this email, please advise.

I have a set of 66 doors, which I think are same as 67.  I also have a set of
67.5 doors, and a rear clip from a 67.5, but the dog leg area is bad.

I am in Chesapeake Va, so shipping will not be particlulary cheap.  Lets wait
a bit and see if others on the list can help from a closer location.

The 66 doors are very nice, no bondo, but un-restored with some minor surface
rust, and probably the usual cracks around the top front area where the vent
windows tend to crack the sheet metal

Best Regards,
Jim

Ehummmm.  Better put safety locks on your teardrop fender lights if this guy
is even close to representing demand.  These items will become a hotter
commodity than stolen Honda seats in the 80s.
