My 73' has the factory rear window defroster, which is sure nice on some of our shoulder season drives.
I do have a broken wire which I need to look at, at some point.

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?
Morning World! As I sit here this morning, with hot coffee in hand and warm house, it is -15C ( 2F), we must be thankful, as I think about our homeless population here in B.C.. It is blowing like crazy, NE wind really strong and with the extreme cold, the ocean has that amazing mist that comes up.I ...

I could not agree more! For me, a Non-social media user, the Realm has been my life blood of communication for drives, events, car shows...and....seeing what others are doing and adding any small advice that I can give. I bet I "pop in" at least a dozen times a day..retirement has it's adv...

Re: 72 2 Door 510 Restoration-25 years in the making
ME TOO!!! Don't feel bad, I got dialed in by my engine builder Andy, when I went to drive my car home from Specialty Engineering. He was beside my drivers door, which was open, as I went to start the car ( cold motor), I pushed in the clutch like I have for my whole life with this car! AAAHHh..he sa...

Re: 72 2 Door 510 Restoration-25 years in the making
Happy New Year! In regards to the "clakity, clakity" maybe time to adjust valves and also check those little springs we call "mousetrap" springs that keep a modicum of tension on the rocker arm. They have been known to break. Stock setting is .010" intake and .012" exha...

Re: It’s Christmas Time again
And then....2 days later...these two fellows were trying to kill each other....
We are a bizarre species IMHO!
Don't mean a buzz kill for the morning, but, I just cannot believe where we are,,...and really..have never left ..in fighting each other. My dad is rolling over in his grave.

Re: It’s Christmas Time again
Yes, same!
I truly wish the World was in a better place right now...seems we just CANNOT fight! I look at the conflicts going on around the World and feel how lucky we are to not be in those!
Be well all, enjoy family and friends, as without those it is a lonely place.

Fwd: Ethanol Fuel ALERT FROM THE NAPetition to the Federal Government ( Re: Ethanol Fuel )
Morning World! I thank Ron for sending me this link, to sign a petition to keep Chevron 94 ethanol free. While it does not directly affect me ( I burn Aviation fuel), it sure does for most of you with performance engines, etc. This reminds me of when the lead was taken out of our premium in the late...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild
Morning World! Thanks Owen, so glad to get it back,as nerve wracking as it was. In the past, I headed to Knox Mountain twice with a fresh engine, sweating the whole way that something might go wrong. Once it did when we had first installed the spray bar, tons of oil in the valve cover. On the Hope/P...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild
Morning World, My heart is pounding right now, in 20 minutes I am off to get my car and drive back to the garage. Going to clean the interior, as I cannot get at it once in the garage, and then give it a good wash and wipe down on the outside. Looking forward to see how the wide band is at part thro...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild
Hey Jeff & All, It was an amazing time in that early 70’s period, in what is now 50 years ago to 1973. I was 23, young and full of excitement as the Japanese car scene really started to bloom here. Finally it was not all British and Italian stuff racing. There were a LOT of BRE clones, running B...

Afternoon World! Another of my miscellaneous ramblings here today, as I sit here at my desk, we are having our first snowfall of the season. It’s 1C on my porch right now and maybe ½” of wet snow and mixed rain. I hope all that are still on this site are doing well. As I contemplate getting my 510 b...

Re: Apex Engineered Rear Kit Issues
I must admit, as I watch those that have bought this kit...will it really help in the long run? Will it justify the cost once a setting is established? I set my Rear toe and camber 40 years ago...and have never touched it since. That is with the rear brackets that Andy made and have been copied for ...
