Damn, Dan, that buying three is good advice.

I think the two tone door panels look great. Not crazy about the two tone seats, but getting those re-done is big money. I'm with CD. Do the floor mats. Enjoy the rest. It looks great.

I have only a few thousand miles on a new gas pedal with the new plastic bushing, with the plastic tape to reduce friction. The pedal has become notchie. Not smooth at all. I looked it over this eveni ...

I fed directly from the fuel pump to the 32/36. Did that part worked with the original Solex.

I used the Painless Perfomenace wire which I sourced from Summit Racing. It is excellent quality and it is not "cheap".

Harv, How are you doing with the Bo?

By eliminating a coarse, non-controlled fuel source it cleans up the fuel delivery and gives me more confidence in the jets I have installed. I'm not sure I'm done with jetting, but now I will be bett ...

Well, I pulled the top of the 32/36 and epoxied the brass orifice. Amazing how something so small can have such a positive impact on the drive. Thanks, again!

With a prolific author, those who haven't read any EL could use some hints as to which his best were. Got a list?

Just measured my 32'36 K&N. Oval shaped 6X8x1.75 tall. I think the taller fitlers are for the 38/38.

I generally read histories and biographies, but on a whim picked up Norman Mailers, "The Naked and The Dead". It is outstanding. I suspect I'll have to read a lot of his books.

Since the kids have grown up and moved away we have made probably 3 attempts to get rid of the "accumulation". We are getting to the point where we can see walls and floor. I suspect that if we have 3 ...

Aw, damn it CD! You force me to admit my astounding level of ineptitude. I've been real unhappy with both mileage and response with my car. I'm running your jetting prescription. I decided to get to t ...

I've got the HD's with poly, srings and sway bars. Solid, great ride and feel.

I'm running a F50 primary and F6 secondary emulsion tubes along with CD's jetting recommendations. I'm getting some bogging coming off idle onto the mains. It idles and runs pretty smoothly, just need ...

Nothing like a road trip! They put things into perspective. Very happy it is going well!

Try putting the caps in hot water for a bit and see if they will confrom. I was able to get mine on, but it was a chore.

First of all. Sleep naked and this doesn't happen. There is plenty of time for night shirts and flannel after you are hitched.

And water...enough for the car and the travel team. I'd get a real early jump on 50. The heat can build across that area real quickly and you do have passes to cross. This months Roundel has a write-u ...

Check out www.m42club.com Also, I think Metric Mechanic has a lot of info on the M42. What did you put into your last '02? I'll be interested in your comparisons.

A bunch of new photos of the turbos resto at www.sports-car-restoration.com

As well as the staples, I used some double sided carpet tape to do the initial placement and hold for the staples to work. The problem I had with my door panels replacement was the length of the plast ...

This is just a point of info for those interested in getting manifolds done. When the turbos motor wa rebuilt I had the exhaust manifold ceramic coated. I was quite surprised that the coating deterior ...

Harder than it is to build about $150!

No not that kind...although.. I put about 800 miles on the 72 last week with trips to Maine and CT and it ran fine. Still some carb adjusting to do but it was a pleasure to have it on the hwy. On my w ...

Replacement pans only go up the firewall a couple inches. You then fabricate from there. That is not to bad a job really as you are working with heavier metal on the pedal box flange.

I have the AEM UEGO gauge in the turbo. The comment of limited use without efi is correct but it does help with initial tuning. In fact once the turbo is rolling again, I'm going to put it in the 72, ...

I have a 1 yr old 32/36 and I went with CD's prescription on jetting. That gives me a 60 idle and 140 main. In setting lean best idle/mixture/speed according to Pat Braden's Weber Carbs and the Weber ...

Nebraska is a BIG state. You can make Grand Island and have had a good day through the Sand Hills. Grand Isle to Cedar Rapids is another day and rt 30 takes you all the way. Mike has an nice parts kit ...

Damn, this is fun! Thanks! From E CO, I'd start stepping north. It is summer. I'd take 85N out of the Ft Collins area up to Torrington. 26 to Scottsbluff and try to get up to Alliance. The Sand Hills ...
