What would you think of having once a month 914World Tech-Days at McMark's Original Customs in Napa? You bring your punch list of things you want to accomplish and the parts and tools you think you will need, Mark and other "experts" help you get it done. Want to backdate your bumpers? We could do that! How about valve adjustment with instruction? Simple! Whatever can be done in a day could probably be done at a 914World Tech-Day Session.
This cannot be free though... Mark normally runs a working shop on Saturday and Sunday so he will have to figure how much per participant he needs to take the day off and help our sorry butts get something done on our cars. What do you think? Does this sound like a good idea? If you like the idea it could start as soon as January! Attached thumbnail(s)

If you ever need Zinsco's they are available from D&F Liquidators in Hayward, CA.

It must be a local contractor from the 50's because both our houses date from that time. We can talk more about it at a Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion if you come up... I hear you on the not tripping when they should and tripping when they don't need to. Been there done that. Got the flashlights to prove it. |

Got the flashlights to prove it. Yes I rewired and kept the Zinsco, as in they are out in the garage in a cabinet. I put in a Square D panel from Home Depot. New breakers are about $7 now. My zinsco kept melting parts of the bus bar the breakers fit on to. When it melted the bar where the main breaker fit I replaced the whole thing. Of course it melted down on a Friday afternoon while I was at work. Anyone need some used Zinsco breakers or panel? Jim PS I am up for a monthly or semi monthly tech gathering. I think we should have a specific topic or topics so we can control the tools, knowledge, prep needed. I have a 4 gas analyzer but the O2 sensor is bad. |
