Unfortunately, due to the political situation and now long standing travel warnings by our Government, I am going to pass on this one for the first time in 20 years.


Pretty sad about that but wish everyone the best for what I am sure will be another successful gathering.

Wanted To Buy / Re: Wurth 10mm Electrical Body Nut + Washer
« Last post by BOTIGER1970 on June 11, 2025, 01:07:15 »
It is a nut with attached washer and a rubber washer that goes over washer. I checked with all vender catalogs including Authentic Classics and could not find the nut assembly.

Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Re: 230 vs 250 fuel injection pump

You should be fine. Check the plug reading after running, adjust shims (or full travel rack screw) as needed. Record the number of turns if you adjust the rack screw.

Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / 230 vs 250 fuel injection pump
« Last post by MarkCan on June 10, 2025, 22:57:14 »
I recently attempted to revive the 250SE engine. Yes, it is running now, yet I’ll not run it for long. In my initial inspection I noticed poor fuel delivery on cylinder 1 and somewhat less than satisfactory on cylinder 3. Pump low rpm setting was turned up quite a bit. I assume it was before the car was parked, long, long time ago. The fuel system was dry and some lines corroded when I got it.
Anyway , Here is the question I got;
Can I use the known good 230 pump temporarily in place of the 250 until I get that one sorted?
 Is the fuel volume difference large enough to cause issues at low load?
I thought about compensating with shims on the barometric compensator to increase the fuel volume slightly. Am I on the right path or totally out to lunch?

Summary: PagodaFest 2025 will be held in the Great Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee, near Knoxville in the vicinity of some of the greatest driving roads in the eastern USA, and the gorgeous Appalachian Mountains. We'll follow a program similar to past events: A day of technical sessions, plenty of hands-on time with cars and friends, meals, a banquet and a driving event. The event runs from Thursday, September 25th through Sunday September 28th.

There is NOTHING like a PagodaFest to meet your fellow members, see dozens of Pagodas with dedicated enthusiasts, get your questions answered or lend your expertise. If you are a new member or have not been to a club event in the past, be sure to include this one, everyone is waiting to meet you!

Host hotel is Courtyard Knoxville Airport Alcoa where we've negotiated a special rate of just $139/night.  Here is the link to secure this room rate. Be certain to double check your planned CHECK IN and CHECK OUT dates when making a hotel reservation.
