Restoration / Re: 69 Z Voltage Regulator

« on: October 09, 2009, 06:35:13 AM »

Why do I have it in my mind that there might be some rubber expansion mounts behind the regulator, like they use on one side of a radiator? Am I just loosin it?

-Mark.

Well nuts were not used on 69's.

I don't think that's true. IIRC, early 69's had the well nuts and a ground wire.

Run numbers are not something that most people are familiar with.
I don't have enough data to answer your question, but those dates do look early for 05E.

I removed the veteran status so now status is now only a factor of the # of posts.
Other than that, I'll leave the names as status quo for now.

Thanks for the input!

I think the member status names are ok, but I miss a function were I in an easy way can follow my own threads and postings! 

There's one version.  Preview your post and there's a box labeled 'Notify me of replies'.

I haven't seen a feature to see just your own threads on other sites, but it's probably out there. There may be some software changes in the future and I'll watch for that feature.

How about...

Plain Jane       0
Rally Sport      50
Super Sport    100
Z/28               250
ZL-1               500

 

Paul

I thought about something like that, but I didn't want to slight people that own L6 and low-po V8's.
And a Z is higher than an L89? I don't want to go there.

I'm fine with the newbie and hero labels. I wouldn't mind better names for the middle categories, if we can come up with them.

Some sites really push the importance of the status - hence probably why some people have asked about it.

The M21 was never available with a SS350, the M20 was the only 4 speed available.

Site Comments/Discussion / Forum member status names - input requested

I've had several requests from people to change their 'status' (e.g. veteran, newbie, Jr. member, etc). Maybe it's time to redo the 'status' system.

When members moved from the old forum to the new forum, their status was made as veteran.

The status of everyone else is based on the # of posts:
Newbie             0
Jr. Member       50
Full Member     100
Sr. Member      250
Hero Member   500

Any suggestions on better names for the status names?
I'll probably also remove the veteran classification to make the system the same for everyone.

It is correct for a COPO. Has to do with the fact the COPO order started with a SS then pulled off the SS emblems.

It's the standard pulley that was used for years on most applications.
It should be listed there, but it's not. I'll dig on this when I get a chance.....

No. Only solid lifter cars got the deep-groove pulleys.

You can trust him.  He has a lot of info on cars and it doesn't go anywhere unless you tell him it's OK.

It's even simpler than that. Car data doesn't go anywhere, no matter what.

I never heard back from him.

I'd say it's a restamp. But if you couldn't tell, then it's probably good enough to use....

That's a seat 'tag' or 'sheet'. It was basically a build sheet for the seats.
Does you car have tinted glass and vinyl top? 711 int?
