Sooo is it set as master or slave ?

Edit: Rossco, me thinks this might be deserving of a pin in your guide .

April Fool's was several weeks ago.

I'm amazed that you had a clothes pin lying around....haven't seen one of them for many years.

A clothes peg??? Surely there must be a better way to fix it.

Sorry.

Early Datsun 240Zs had a problem with fuel vaporization- mainly due to the incredibly stupid routing of the metal fuel delivery pipe right over the exhaust manifold.
Datsun&#39;s original "factory" fix was to clamp several wooden clothespins to the metal pipe in an attempt to dissipate the heat.
I always thought it was hilarious to open the hood of an immaculate Z car and see a row of clothespins alongside the valve cover.

Stupid fix for a stupid problem.

Ah. Vapor lock.
