Re: UPPITY: The Willy T. Ribbs Story

Go back a little further to the story of Wendell Scott (Hard Driving by Brian Donovan), he is arguably the very first African American trying to win at NASCAR. Illustrates just how far Bill France and others were willing to go to keep this man from being a contender. A must read.

Re: EGR taper plug?

Not the same thing, this is a much larger diameter and machine thread.

Yes that is correct. Also on the KA.

It is a limited availability item, none found locally to me so I ordered one from US supplier - more cost in shipping than the part.
Apple (?) Nissan in Richmond(?) apparently has one in stock if anyone looking for such, and a few in Ontario.

EGR taper plug?

Apparently Nissan made a plug for the EGR that fits a few models, pn is 14052-21R00. Anyone know if this is a currently available part? I'm not having luck doing a web search.

Re: 620 KC project

Engine assembly is well underway, have been taking a bit of a break from spending all my free time in the garage as the back yard has been calling my name! Got the head completed today though and plan to have the engine completed by end of the coming week.

Re: Toilet paper shortage!!

I loved the pic of the Datsun in the back of the truck. It reminded me (hmmm pic somewhere) of a buddy's Fox-bodied Mustang that decided to split the spider gear just outside of Vernon while on way to Knox. As the car wouldn't move on it's own and it was the long weekend, decided to load it up into ...

Re: 620 KC project

Park brake cable situation is resolved, I shortened the housing on one that was excessively long and all is good now, still need to attach the retainer at the end once I determine the final length of the cable itself.

Oil pump upgrade L or Z series

Following up on a discussion with Byron re: increased volume/pressure for an oil pump on my Z24 build, I have confirmed with Melling the following: M90 pump has a lower volume output, while the M111 & M152 pumps flow the same rate of 2 gallons/min @ 491 RPM. The M152 pump however has a 10psi hig...

Re: 720 park brake cable help needed

I'm heading into the garage shortly and will see if I can't just shorten up the one that's too long. Don't see why not :)
