WELL with the help off nice guy bleachZ i got old red back together and with a few more tweeks and geeks it mite be up to par muffler is on the way castister stlye 4" outlet {stoked} but the nabor wont be iam haveing some issue with timeing the old girl but i think iam working that out in the moring well i will post some about my adveturs soon i need a sunny day to take some pics

 

well got it all fixed today. i had the cam gear one link the wrong way and now she runs good . went back though and locked everybolt down realy good one last time started right up even when she's cold just sound like crap new muffle is on the way. it was a lot of work but after it all said a done it worth every bit of it .... my header has one stud@bolt right in the middle up under the intake ..the intake blocks the stud from putting a socket over it has anyone had this problem befor someone told me to try a 12mm crows foot open end....will this work..
i have a msa header if that helps



i just dont want to go buy that tool if it wont work........

 

Yeah I have had that problem on my '81. When I had to replace the intake gasket. It was a PITA! And there was that one bolt to make it where you wish your arm bent another way!LOL Anyway glad to hear that you got your Z running! I can't wait until I drive mine again! But it will be a long while. I still have to pay back my dad for the Firebird I redid the engine on. Talk to you later

 

I was able to get at all the studs with a 3/8" drive socket on a U-joint connection. Then a long extension off the back of the u-joint.

Also, there is that little metal plate on the top center of the manifold. It unbolts and allows access to one manifold stud on top. Maybe that's the one you're talking about.

 

yes yes yes DUDE YOU ARE A BAD BAD BAD MAN ......... NICE

 

Tibby made me do it

 

Tibby Made Thoughs Screws Unmoveable

 

i slapped tibby down after i got to that last bolt..........with the cover off it made it alot eazyer power is up starting to remind me of old blue dam i mis haveing a 5 speed sell me a 5 speed someone one...... but really the AT is to bad little slow off the go but smoth shifting and really nice top end feeling wish it would rev out just a little more old blues cam gear must have been set to #1 for that nice top end push i think that i would like to set red to #3 just to see that bottom end push out a little better i have some camber i the back and seem hard to burn off i dont know if some one put bushings in there at some point or if it is just set up that way but you can see the camber in the rear still waiting on muffler got the new wheel for the tiburon to day still wait on ups to bring the HUB well heres a pic of the wheel has any one installed a HUB befor and is there a page where i can go to see how ?????????

 

I have an extra 5-speed laying around. You can have it if you want but I live in NC.

 

I WOULD BE SO STOKED ON THAT BUT HOW MUCH WOULD IT BE TO SHIP IT .................................................. .IF YOU WOULD

 

I like that steering wheel. Do you know a place that sells those 'style' of steering wheels but with 1 or 2 little buttons on the arms of the wheel? Like in the F&F movies. It would be for my horn!

 

iam not sure bleach i got the wheel off ebay ....i would buy from the wheel place again but the place that sold me the hub are fools it will not fit with out a diif peice to go with it $60 more bills {bummed}

But on a better note old red is up and runNING like the zx Beast i though she would be {stoked out} i got all the leaks welded up and put the new muffler on it.Put a timing light on it got it right in time {stoked } iam sure that this car is faster in the top end then old blue i just wish i was a mt . This is the muffler i got OFF EBAY for $4.99 SHIPPING WAS $40.00 IT was worth it... BLEACH BUY THIS FOR YOUR CAR YOU WILL BE STOKED
