Stopped at PnP briefly and recorded the paint code on the wagon if you're thinking about hood/fenders, it's 410-21.

Pat mentioned that if you don't want the headlights I pulled he will refund me (store credit), LMK.

Crap...wrong paint code. Guess it's grey hood and fenders. Whatever...it's a beater. Runs like a dream now though. Swapped some proper sized tires on and with Matt's help we got the clutch adjusted and the clutch fan replaced with something that actually works. The AMM from Jim is in and is bang-on for calibration. Just need that cluster with a km speedo and an odometer that actually works and we're golden. New(er) headlights without broken ball sockets would be good too.

Jim, I'm fine with the headlights. Craig owes me some money for the glass I pulled for him last week so I'll get him to pay you for the headlights and shipping that AMM up.

This is how things get out of hand quickly...if you let them...

At Matt's place yesterday and he spies the Stahl B230 header hanging on his wall and goes "eh?". I then reply with "I've got that RSI n/a cam on a shelf in my garage". Then we both #-o and :lol: .

Definitely don't do this - that stupid cam needs a lot more compression than you've got and I've got a lot more useable power in the 242 with the A cam. Headers are for performance cars - I wish I hadn't done that conversion on my car and I may just go back to a cast manifold in the spring.

I have no intention of doing this. Some updates to get it comfortable and useable and that's it...

Found a good driver's seat today =D>

Did ball joints and tie-rod ends recently and tossed some Billy HD shocks on the back. Tossed the TSW Blade wheels on it that came on the red 740 so as to not wear out my good winter tires. Y'know what? I'm kinda starting to like this crazy car... #-o

You should stop liking it, work on the 740, and then sell this one to me when your 7 is back on the road... I need a 240. :? :cry:

Nope. I think you're thinking of the other Jordan here... JordanM?

I really want a 242, but they aren't as easy to find as a few years ago.... Thinking I may need a 244 until I find a clean 242 body down in 'murika
