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...

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...

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...
