P-Zero Rosso'a ahould be fine . . .

Been running them for years with no problems, and I have driven in the rain with them as well :roll:

I surmise that there may be something wrong with that set, since the car sat for years without use :?

That appears a LOT like . . .

Any thoughts or comments on that possibility :?:

George, you may want to be careful and check that out first :?

Also don't forget that this placement does block the center vents, FWIW :roll:

Er, what about that axle . . .

Looks like you've got a few projects lined up, may need to perform the "needed" before the "want to" list :?

But then, you do have another 6er that you can bring :wink:

REALLY looking forward to this meet, about 15 cars signed up now 8)

Proposed route

May I ask what the probable route for our 'drive' is, or is that gonna be a surprise? No surprises, we just haven't "quite" nailed that down yet :roll: Here are our thoughts: 280 North from Scott's place, get off either in Portola valley or all the way up to 84. Up 84, cross 35 (Skyline) ...

Hey Eric :-) My guess is that the 265 you have is from a later model (85?) which has an electronic speedo, driven off the diff somewhere :roll: But while I don't want to tell you to do something that may be irreverseable, I bet that the drive gears are still there underneath that plug :shock: So, if...

There is no resonator on the BB systems right? You should check to see what they use in the center section as a resonator these days.
