Default Well, well...lookee here!

Stopped working on the Z to eat a "sammitch" (as my daughter used to say), thought I'd share this...

As Jeffvette suggested, changing the inline fuel filter was definitely in order as far as m fuel pressure at WOT goes! All that grit and brown gunk poured out of the inlet end of the old filter!! Well, I have new filters for the fuel pumps too, and I'll be checking them next, I recon.





I had a vibration at higher speeds (above 145): causing the dash and shifter to "buzz". Someone suggested the C-beam might not be aligned. Sure enough, the alignment was whacked! I found the tail shaft was over 1/2" too high (the bolts were almost touching the roof of the tunnel) and too far to the right by a 1/4. I don't know if this is what lead to my U joint (front) going bad, but none the less...it is!

The grease boot on my right front top ball joint was kaput too, but got a new one on the way.

I think I'll take it down off the jacks now. Ignorance is bliss!! (and a lot cheaper!)


Well, glad to get it all done at once instead of "one at a time".

P.
