Right same cam but those Stock Eliminator cams are completely different duration wise.

For sale?

Z/28
 
"For Sale" is a slippery slope on all my cars. Cancer in my lungs from last CT has grown fairly substantially in BOTH lungs. I didn't sleep too well for a couple nights. I would call it a few sheets of paper thickness. Pretty soon I am going to run out of room. Dr. says it can start to grow mush faster and happen in 6 months, or 5 years. I'm circling the drain hoping not to throw a shoe! I WANT to finish my shop and work on the cars, but I just don't know. I have offers on everything, Gun Collection, Collectibles, about 500 Hot Wheels & Match box, all kinds of stuff. My utility bed truck FULL of tools. etc. etc. But sometimes you contact those people and they can't follow through with the offer. It's a waiting game... D

Prayers for you sir.

All I an say is hang in there, I myself have friends that hit speed bumps (lung cancer) and have done so well and recovered with todays treatments, I don't ask any more, they have done so well.

Glad to see another guy with hotwheels. I tell my wife I blame my hotwheel collecting on what I have to day in the 1:1 scale. I have been collecting since they came out in 1967 wink wink. Dont have 500 but all my originals (70?) which is pretty dang good.

Enjoying the thread and its motivating me to get mine moving forward again as its the twin to yours. Had the engine sitting there in plastic after it was cleaned up at machine shop, and starting to get all the parts all laid out for assembly.

Got a box today from the previous owner. Nice rebuilt Master Cylinder. I am wondering if the lid is original. And what the D1 and 4 dimples on the underside mean. Have to do some research, as I know it has been discussed. But nice bonus either way just to have the original unit with the WT stamp. Rebuilt in '94 according to the receipt in the box. Danny

The 68's (i.e. WT 346 Master Cyl) should have a Version one.

I like it. I see the car was in for a recall or warranty work due to the ink on the POP. Wondering what it was. Any idea? Engine mount issue?

dannystarr 05-26-2023 02:05 AM

I have no idea. Can you explain what you see that would determine that information please?... Thanx... D

Some of that is just excess off the nozzle.

When finished, instead of wiping the nozzle off with a towel, or on their apron, they just wipe the remains off on the cowl before moving to the next job.

That would make perfect sense. KNOWING that the area will soon be all covered up. I knew he wasn't trying to seal anything in every spot, because there are no seams in some of those places. That tool/gun must have been pneumatic. Thanx for the info... D

Yes - correct.

Pretty much everything was air powered.

One exception I can think of is the guy that installed the cab high running lights (RPO U01) had one of those Amish "speed screwdrivers". Since he was unencumbered by any kind of air hose he could work way up the line.

KurtS Wrote -
The drive train codes were written on the broadcast sheet. The scheduling clerk then entered them to create the POP.
One of those two people wrote / used P8E18, either out of expectation that would be the code or misreading it.

With all the information and pictures supplied, when this car gets sold, is everything going to be lined-up ok and make sense with nothing to be questioned? Slight number discrepancies chalked up to human error? Thanx... Danny

Just read this whole thing. Hoping you are doing OK with your cancer. My dad passed from lung cancer 12 yrs ago. He worked for the railroad and was exposed to a LOT of asbestos in the 50-60's.
Curious about the connection of the car/seller to your Dad. You said we had to read the whole story and there is nothing here, that I found.

Great car, really like the color combo.
