I know...me too Dave!

It's been sitting here idle while tucked away in the shop while I await doing some additional work on it for summer. Spring has also arrived here now and I will be firing it up this weekend and getting it out for a stretch before packing it up for a bit of a move next month. I've also been busy looking at warehouses properties to store the toys as I have made a decision to move east and expand our business into additional cities and territories.

I'll have some more updates when the DZ302 is all finished up. Cowl hood is going back onto the car too. The fiberglass one is then going up on the wall as shop art I guess. Also changing the wheels out to include a date matched set of original rallies with NOS trim rings and Goodyear's. Gonna drive the wheels off it this summer and enjoy it myself.

Glad to see that EDM lifters are now back in supply after being backordered for about 18 months. Solid lifters with that little tiny EDM oil hole to lubricate the cam lobes. Now I can get this DZ motor finished up.

Grahame do you know if the stock lifters had that feature?

No they did not Frank. And with modern oil not having the lubricity it used to...as well as the metallurgical properties having changed in the lifters and cams, these EDM lifters are the way to go with a little added lubrication of the lobes.

Helps to keep from wiping a lobe off the cam during break in is my line of thinking.

Quick shout out to Lloyd C. for hooking me up with an NOS new ash tray for the Rosewood dash that I just swapped into the car. It made for a nice upgrade since the original was scratched up. Also installed an MSD 8910 tach adapter to see if I can get this Green line tach working in the car. Jason sent me the NOS tach and stated it was tested but have not been able to get it to work as of yet. Hopefully this adapts the signal and gets it's operating as it should. If not it needs to go back and I'll hook something else up in it's place.

I'll fire it up tomorrow to see if the tach works with the adapter in place (fingers crossed). If it works with the 8910 installed, I can then button everything back up. Felt good to get working on the car after it sitting here for nearly 5 months.

Graeme,

I am very sorry to hear the tach is not working for you. As I said earlier, I tested the tach before shipping it to you and it worked well. That was over a year ago but time should not change anything. I have not heard from you in 6 months so I assumed you got it sorted. If you need to return it, I am ok with that.

Jason

Sorry Jason...

Wasn't trying to flame you there. You've always been a straight shooter on everything my friend. I sent you a PM

Been lagging on the troubleshooting process of the tach only due to it being mounted up on the pillar for what was a labor intensive position. I finally took it down last month to chase the issue and run some other tests but that was interrupted with me selling my home and getting ready for a big move as I head east this month. Trying to finish this up before I move and get this sorted out before loading the car into a trailer.

I'll know where I'm at later in the day as I will test both the Green line tach as well as the stock in dash tach to ensure I have something working before buttoning it back up today. I'm hoping the SW works with the tach adapter and it goes back up on a halo mount, or I'll be looking for another pillar pad. lol

Thanks Frank.

Going for a different look with it this summer. Installing new wheels and tires along with the cowl hood. Going more for a look like this except it has the Endura bumper and no style trim group.

A subdued look so the Popo don't give me a hard time on Portage Avenue this summer. They hassle car owners with skinny fronts and 50's on the rear. Perhaps it'll make a great little sleeper with the stock suspension height and 7" wheels under it. Until they hear that cam that is? lol

Example of the look I want with stock ride height and 7" wheels.
