Correct. If you remove it, it should say 'OIL' stamped on the head of that bolt.

I removed about 3 liters worth by taking off the pump pipe between the differential and tranny (just inside the rear wheel). I couldn't get that bolt out...aargh ! Perhaps you're low on fluid, but that's the amount I got out/in. After 3 liters, it started coming back out the overflow hole where I filled a little bit. I let it get to a fine drip and put the bolt back in.

Mmm, they don't make them anymore, I know that. When I had my 88 QV, I was reminded to treat with care... I'm sure, if nobody here comes thru, maybe do some searching on the internet for auto grave yards. Somebody might know where exotics go to die - Sad I know. They do exist. If you check the site for wreckedexotics.com, you'll see a few. Unfortunately, they're pretty fragile actually. Basically Fiberglass and Aluminum. Good Luck !

Well, I really suck at 'making' these wires. No way was I going to attempt it, so bought a Lambo set. You can get an MSD set with the long plug ends, but you're assembling them. I've worked on cars for 20 years and still suck at it ! Besides, the Lambo set has heat shielding for the wires - I liked that... Also, pulled the cap (was scored on all 8 connections) and rotor (electrode seemed wore and was craked). I'm sure you can get other OEM items, but I wanted genuine parts. Probably paid for it, but I know they'll work... Went to Evans Automotive (614) 471-7535. The owner, George, is an acquantance and has ALWAYS treated me right. Back when I had the Countach, and now with my Jalpa, he's been MORE than helpful. I believe he's certainly one of the most Exotic Car knowledgable folks around. They're the type of folks that if you're a customer, you're also a friend and am treated as such. He knows I'm in VA (they are in Ohio), so helps me out whenever I got an issue. PS: If you've got the Oil Cooler in the Rear Ear (I do), pull the cooler line that runs on the top of the firewall side cam cover... its A LOT easier.

Got what I needed... Thanks folks !

Hello, Well, think its that time. Pulled off the Coil Wire and the center electrode is pretty frayed - but still seems to run just fine. Cap/Rotor are fine. Plugs are recent. I've already upgraded to the MSD Blaster 2 Coil, so guess is the last step. Thinking about upgrading, just the Main Coil Wire to 8mm - any issues ? Where do I get a set of regular plug wires ? Is there any other, besides Jalpa wires, that'll fit ?

:anal :vom:

Am using Lucas 80W/90. Synthetic's are better for gears, but non-syn is better for the shifting. I figure the tranny is pretty tight and the gearoil will work just fine (it has for 100 years so far).

So... Eugene. Are you 'really' TOM ?

"More than you can afford, pal" - is he talking about the car or his 'date' ?

Funny part is, its probably made by some unknown name. They buy it for $5/bottle, then resell for 10x that... Never understood this brand recognition with celebrities and manufacturers. For some reason, things sellout in just a day if 'seen' worn by anybody famous (including 1 month old babies). Who cares and Why >??? Does this happen Overseas from the USA >?

Mmm, not a bad idea... If nobody can assure me that removing that plate is OK, that'll be what I attempt next.

I wonder if removing it, would cause the fluid to drain out OR worse, that pin to drop and not be able to put back in? Can't tell by the picture on his site. Thanks for the link, I did have the PW already... Anybody removed this yet ? I'm not going to unless someone else has !

What does that small metal plate cover ? I can't get that bolt out as I've already snapped my extension in half with the force I've pulled on it - am afraid I'll strip-out the threads... If that metal cover comes off, I'll just remove it ! What's it covering ? ...and a part# for the gasket would then assit me too.
