Hi Scott, best to upload them onto imgur or photobucket and use the [img] tag.

Nice. So with the carbs on the passenger side is the battery relocated to the trunk?

Scott's 1966 roadster

Post by sdgregson »

Hey guys, sorry new to this forum thing- here is some more info on me and my roadster.

Live in Arkansas, but home will always be Nashville, TN.

My roadster is a 1966, it has a Z24 engine with twin Dellorto side drafts mated to a 5 spd tranny.
She has 300zx disc brakes all around- and yes, battery is in trunk. All this was done before i bought
it.

I used to have a 68 1600 with a Naps Z motor. I think it was the Z20. The dork that installed it did a 2 inch body lift to clear the craptacular Rochester one barrel on a chunk of aluminum that he mated to the stock manifold.
