Site Comments/Discussion / Forum Picture / Thumbnail Image
« on: April 24, 2006, 05:59:06 PM »
Some members have posted a profile picture that shows up on the forum all jagged, squashed and/or out of proportion (even though the original was fine). This is because the forum software shrinks the original to make it fit into the small thumbnail size. This can be fixed by cropping / shrinking the image to the correct size before you upload. The width needs to be 65 pixels, and the height needs to be 65 pixels or less.

If anyone would like me to do it, shoot me off a digital picture, and I will send it back sized correctly: Adz28@wwwebtek.com

Jeff, your post inspired me to do the same with my Voltage Regulator. Having the pictures was a big help. Thanks... I was wondering if the new set-up actually worked. Did you test it yet?

Also, do you have an amp meter or voltage meter? If you have an amp meter, did it repond any differently when the solid state version was applied.

Regards,
Adam

Thank you both for your replies.  In my case, the engine seems to be running fine without noticeable knocks/pings. A few people "in the know" have made comments about what they heard coming from the engine and recommended the race fuel. One of them said it would be like night and day. As a newbie to all this, I appreciate the education you are providing.

Lakeholme mentions that the z's DO need "high-test". I'm not sure if he meant 93 or the race fuel. Can someone comment on 100 Unleaded Vs. 110 Leaded. Would one theoretically out-perform the other?

Thanks!

Maintenance / Fuel / Octane Rating

I am looking for some input / recommendations on the best fuel to use in my 69 z/28. Its 302 has been rebuilt recently and I have been using 93 Octane pump gas. I found a place that sells both 110 Leaded and 100 Unleaded (GT100).

I assume the engine, and its 11:1 compression, will simply run better with the higher octane fuel. The 110 Leaded and the 100 Unleaded are the same price. Which should I use?

Also, is it worth it? It obviously costs a whole lot more and the fuel station is a bit of a hike.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
