Re: Zephyr eats motor mounts
Been pounding along with the Z; here's what's done: - New 1/2" clamps on all PS hoses. Spring clamps leak (but everyone else except yrs truly probably knew that...) Some were totally impossible to reach. - Engine oil back to proper level. Maybe overfilling the pan caused the dipstick leak. Prob...

Re: Zephyr eats motor mounts
Mike, Never so lucky as to avoid side effects. There are at least 5 related problems I need to go after: - new 3 or 4AN line for the oil pressure gauge - dipstick tube is slightly bent and leaking - still don't know what was burning with plastic/rubber smell; thought it was the motor mount but now n...

PCV group buy?
On the slim chance that anyone else would be interested, I'd like to make a group buy of eight of these PCV valves: http://mewagner.com/?p=444 As you can see, they are top of the line and are priced accordingly at $129. If we get eight takers, there is a 25% discount ($129 x .75 = $97) as detailed h...

The single nut at the bottom goes into a slot in the chassis bracket. Its nut and split washer had al...

Ken,
No video or data. My camera mount must have caught yours' disease - it wouldn't adhere to the windshield and I ran out of time to try more options.

Re: SCCA Track Night Daytona 8-1-2019
Mike, The other two videos were from the dash cam of the guy behind him - I think Hardin was just being polite and letting him go by with a small smoke-bomb salute :mrgreen: As soon as we can figure out how to give him the appropriate credit, we plan to get his videos posted - or linked - whatever w...

On the high bank between NASCAR turns 3&4:
Going through the U in the infield part of the course:
Passing a Mustang in the U:
Enjoy!

Zephyr eats motor mounts
As described under the TNIA thread in the Cobra Stuff forum, the Zephyr didn't make it to the track. The first and most obvious diagnosis led me to think the oil pressure gauge line had a hole rubbed in it while chafing against the firewall. I was disappointed I hadn't placed my usual split rubber h...
