I'm taking the intake off a 1988 300zx because of a vaccum leak. You can come by if you want. Haven't had to chance to start yet.

Margaret says we'll bring pasta salad and a dessert.
Think we'll be able to rotate the band clamp to reposition the bolts?

Also, Rob, you may not install tire spikes into your driveway to prevent unauthorized turn-arounds

§ 18.2-147.2. Devices for puncturing motor vehicle tires.

It shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture, distribute, have in his possession or place upon any highway or private property jackrocks which are primarily designed for the purpose of disabling motor vehicles by the puncturing of tires. Any person convicted of unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession or use of such device shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

(1982, c. 253.)
...makes me wonder though - how does "the colonies" in McLean avoid the fine for having them installed on their property??
