Re: Freshening up my first Z28
As far as comfortable with a stick... A 396 M20 3.55 or 3.73 even better would be near impossible to stall out, with a centerforce the pedal pressure would be low. Even a Z with a M20 and 4.10s is easy to drive due to the deep first.

Re: Freshening up my first Z28
Steve, I have found that sometimes your kids will listen to other people better than they listen to you. I would be happy to teach her how to drive a 4 speed. Using your car of course. Still nothing better than hugger orange with a black vinyl roof, black stripe z!

Re: Freshening up my first Z28
I have got the 292's on my 69. In 1980 I did the engine over, and threw the 186's right in the garbage can. Yeah, that was forward thinking! It is easy changing plugs with headers though! You can't hear it right now, but I have the ass kicking machine out.
P.s. the 292's have the blocked off heat risers. Great heads

Re: Freshening up my first Z28
This is awesome Steve, and that shot of the two of you is priceless.
As you know, I am also fortunate to have a "car freak" in the family, (my son Ian) who shares my passion (insanity?) so it is always neat to see. Bashton MCACN Managing Member

Re: Freshening up my first Z28
Well tonight I take this car out for the first cruise night of the season. I've been delayed quite a few weeks because of a defective RAM clutch. Their technical/customer support is lacking and they had no answers just "try installing the larger throw-out bearing or try an adjustable clutch fork pivot. Anyway I installed another brand (LUK) clutch and it works great.
