Re: Vintage finds

Nice. When we were doing the estate sale at my parent's place I snagged my dad's vintage wood creeper and sold my HF creeper, which was getting flat spots on the soft wheels. I actually used it a couple weeks ago. I also brought home my grandfather's machinist's chest and an old crescent wrench with...

Re: Saturday Run to Bartlett March 28th

Perhaps. Bonnie and I need to head to north Scottsdale today (Friday) and were thinking heading out to Bartlet after that. Kind of a gloomy day so far though so maybe tomorrow would be better.

Re: 76 280Z Project - First Start in 5 Years!

I can't speak specifically to the Z, but In most cases the vacuum advance increases timing at cruise. You loose that advance under acceleration to prevent detonation. Specific to the 280, I have always liked to run 12 degrees initial timing to provide better torque and throttle response. To do this ...
