Re: Restoring a '69 510 4 door.

And some other things that are now completed

HVAC. Vintage air Gen II Mini system install is getting close to completion, at least as far as hanging components and plumbing it. Still have to mount the evaporator in front of the rad and wire it.

The stock sender I have in the tank measures 10-90, not 0-100, but I suppose given the age and wear factor, this may account for the difference. In my case, I used the 240-33 ohm version, as I will have a Speedhut aftermarket gauge in the dash. I took apart the sender and see how it could reversed f...

Re: Restoring a '69 510 4 door.

Alright, I'm feeling pretty bad about not keeping you guys up to speed with what I've been doing, so.... Let's tell you about one modification I did the other day. I found an alternative to the stock fuel level sender that fits our tank that requires pretty simple modifications. The stock style of s...

Re: part number needed for plastic breather on 280z 5 speed

Re: wtt-trade zx parts for a 71 Zcar steering wheel

Are you looking for the Z wheel without the holes in the spokes? I have one. Also have the ones with the holes.

I also have a set of 14x7 (dang) slotted mags. 14x8 is going to be trick to find.

Drop me a PM or email and we can discuss further about trades or sale. z240@shaw.ca

Re: Trans fluid ???

Bought this magic tranny elixer this afternoon at the Local GM dealer. They had the AC Delco 10953509 in a bottle for $19.54 CDN. What have you guys been paying for it in BC and Edmonton?

Hopefully it will quiet my third/fifth gear whining z tranny and keep life in my dogleg in the 510

Re: 2.3L of fun

There have been plenty of discussions about the lack of 15" high performance choices now. What is a guy to do that wants a decent high performance tire that is also safe in the rain and cooler temps, ie tires you can put on a daily driver? I see there are more choices in 195, but 205's or wider...

Re: 68 CDN going to be all like JDM yo!

Those are crazy thick lash pads. 0.25 or better, eh? The cam grind looks like it needs it. Those retainers look like stockers, I'm surprised the lash pads stay in place. Typically you should use ones with a larger turtle neck.

Re: Paint for pedals and pedal box

Sorry for the silence. Not much discussion here on concourse restoration details. I'm sure the paint you chose will be just fine. It's been my observation that there are not many if any true concourse 510 restorations going on, so there really aren't a large group of folks with that type of advice o...
