Do you have to degree a new cam ?

You know Barnett when I went to LA. and surrounding areas in the late 80s and 90s it was not a safe place to go ,well most of the cities . I remember going through the black areas , bloody hell use to lock all the doors and get the hell out of those areas .  Remember all the wrecked cars parked on the streets and all the bars on the windows . Its not like that really now in most areas including Compton but down town LA at night is not my  cup of tea . You ever been down town where those markets are and those nice people over the other side of the road .

No Views of the ocean just hills and bush

Hey, nothing wrong with that, still way better than looking at another house just 10 feet from your fence. 

By the way...just exactly what did you do with the Duck? 

[GLENN 70]

Barnett you would see 100 times more American Indians than most Aussies see Aboriginal people . I saw one a few mths back and I nearly shit myself . Nothing wrong with them but where I live you just don't see them .

Sure, I have been thru almost every inch of LA looking for cars . Bought a 66 GT350 from an African American kid in the ghetto part of Compton at around 9 pm at night with a bunch of cash on me . Did things like that on several occasions.

Maybe we should start a new thread . Teach Barnett about Australia  .

lol, well I'm actually part Indian so all I have to do is look in the mirror. 

[GLENN 70]

Which part ? And did the mirror crack 

[barnett468]

Maybe we should start a new thread . Teach Barnett about Australia  .

Actually I already know quite a bit from all my Australian friends and would love to visit . I have people all over oz I could stay with in different locations including Leo Khouri . I even seriously considered moving all my cars and myself over there for a while . My friend Tony Gerace has a spare house on the property his shop is on and was going to let me live there for free and use his shop for free . I would have made big, big, dollars but I just couldn't do it at the time, plus it definitely would have been a bit nerve racking for a while but that hasn't stopped me from doing other risky things.

[barnett468]

Which part ? And did the mirror crack 

The only reason a mirror would break when I look at it is because it can't hold to magnitude of my handsomness and it shatters from overload. 

[barnett468]

Alright off to delight my beautiful wife with a luxurious drive home from work.. 


If i don't return it's broken down and something horrible has happened (murder) so don't let her good looks fool you..


Wish me luck.. 

Well it looks like Fitzy's wife either works a long way away or it broke down and she killed him.

Should we take a poll 

[barnett468]

My ear is my tach.. 

Yes, it's so sensitive he can actually hear when the engine stops running. 

[GLENN 70]

Barnett I asked my friend last week ,she is an ex Canadian now , and thinks she is an Aussie , where is the black stump ? ,what's a Dunny ? And what's a Dunny door or maybe that's Dunnydore  . Boy did she have some stupid answers . She's no Aussie yet  .

[Fitzy1980]

I'm alive..

Barely 

The look on her face as she walked across the car park was priceless, it was a quiet trip home.. 

The few times it stalled didn't help the cause either.

Oh, I bet she's greatly impressed. 

Hey, look on the bright side, your cheap ass Chinese starter didn't let you down.

So was that with the timing at 280 or 282?

If you start it tomorrow when it is cold and it idles fine, it may be a hair rich at idle which can be fixed as soon as you get the Colortune.

Also, retorque your inrtake bolts to spec using the correct pattern . They may have loosened up a little.

I'll shift it back to 282 in the morning and check the timing and torque the bolts..

Ok, just make sure they are at least 18 ft lbs . Don't make them any tighter than that

Will do..


It's in desperate need of some tlc in the paint department, 7 mths sitting outside and its looking pretty shabby..

Hey Fitzy, I told you to tighten the nuts on your intake, not the ones in your pants. 

Also, why does the Fire Department have to go to the hospital to fix his prob . Does his mean that if someone else has this problem they should go straight to the Fire Department instead? 

And what if they happen to be out fighting a fire at the time.

A good wash and then clay bar will ease your pain in the short term.  Won't take long and will get all the crap off your paint that washing alone didn't.

What size ring spanner?

[barnett468]

What size ring spanner?

Yeah, it would certainly be embarrassing if it was only a 14 mm.

uh oh, no Fitzy yet . Maybe he's pulling his trans to fix the leaky fancy hydraulic throw out bearing. 

maybe he'll get 3d gear synchros put in it at the same time.

Those Hydraulic throw outs are the stupidest idea ever. Ive gone to the trouble getting an Australian bellhousing for my Toploader as they have mount cast in them for a slave cylinder.
