Oh and I installed the rad, its beat but it's do. I see a few things that need to be fixed on it.
Ticking coming from the head, valve/cam sound it seems. So I let her run a little while to get warm. I'll check the valve lash again, hot this time.
Sounds way different! Not as ballsey.. Not as throaty..
I liked it more the other way. Loud!

Been thinking about looking for an oil cooler from a zx, for the LZ.
If I recall there's an 83 at this place.

Hacksaw it is, I'm getting it! I have faith in my self that I can fix it up a little nicer.
Its in damn good shape for being 40 something years old.

the junk yard doesn't have anything i need/ want right now. No oil cooler adapter nor cooler. they have nothing but 79 280zxs, a few other z cars.
i could get the one on ebay.
Been thinking I want new springs for the u67. not sure.

What do they want for strut assys? It might be worth grabbing them to sell for profit.

They are spoken for. What year zx stuff are most people using?

Kind of a trick question. All ZXs are desirable and are supposed to be the same. I was over at Klotz's house and we were measuring some up when we discovered that there are apparently 2 different versions. 1 had a 7 degree angle and the other had 10 degree IIRC. Both will work in a 510/610/710/B210 but one version is a bolt in while the other needs camber plates.

I still want an oil cooler, this meaning i need that adapter.
Or is there another i could use? Aftermarket is what im asking.

Theoretically, any aftermarket adapter that could be used with with a PH8A/1515 filter might work. Check Ford listings?

Tpz?
And eBay's got nice adapter plates..
30 bucks isn't bad. And then there the cooler, fittings and lines.
I get paid the 18th I was hoping to grab that transmission I need from that guy, flatcat.
Also need to bring the 620 over. Haven't touched it in a while! Nor him. No time really. Its to far from his house I think. Flatcats is closer for him.

Valve Spring Outer 13203-22010
Valve Spring Inner 13204-22010

Looks like they still use them?
So i may be getting new springs.

Why do you need new springs? Or are you chasing comp springs?
