Re: Start-up smoke mitigation
In my particular case, I have the Pertronix ignition module. It's what I'm sticking with for now, and discussion of the pros/cons of alternatives is OT as I'm looking to better understand what my comrades have tried (or theorized) for the startup smoke. Given that it's an understood behavior due to ...

Start-up smoke mitigation
Others have talked about this, but I'd like to collect the common wisdom on how to mitigate the smoke on start-up after a Pinz has not been started for awhile. It's understood that the smoke is a function of the engine design that there are no oil seals on the exhaust valve stems. This thread isn't ...

Re: Timing on Pertronix
No diaphragm, so it sounds like stock distributor. I've not seen other distributors with this setup before. Not on the Bosch 009 distributors, and not on our aircraft distributors either. Clearly one needs to ensure there are no leaks in the distributor as there'd otherwise be a manifold vacuum leak...

Re: Timing on Pertronix
Pertronix is centrifugal force -- assuming the springs used dialed in the proper advanced for a Pinz you'd be all set with a modest amount of static advance. My distributor has manifold vacuum supplied to it, and has the Pertronix setup. Is the vacuum advance disconnected in the Pertronix retrofit?

Airpod Pro (or other) for phone calls?
What have people had good success with for hearing protection that allows making phone calls while on the highway in a Pinz? There is a lot of reviews that talk about noise cancellation ability of products that offer that, but not much about the microphone audio quality. What I'm wondering here is, ...

Re: Jet sizes for a 710/712
My idle air jet and air correction jets were correct (230 and 130), but my idle jet and main jets were one size too small (55 and 135). Where can I buy 4 each of the correct sizes? Any recommendations? When you say "correct" vs. "too small", are they "too small" for ho...

Re: Car cover for the Pinzgauer
Oh, and as for covers, this is the closest thing I've found that's off-the-shelf, but it's too shiny for my tastes:

Re: Car cover for the Pinzgauer
So the side window shields are held on with suction cups, and the windshield shield is held only by the sun visors?

Re: Batteries not charging
I'd also advise using one of those voltmeters that plug into the cigarette lighter socket. That way you can check anytime to see if the charge voltage is correct. I use one that also has two USB outputs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VP ... UTF8&psc=1

Re: Tail light gasket replacement?
Mr Chicken, does the tail light still install OK with your tubing gasket? There's not a lot of room between the lens and the surrounding shield. I hadn't heard the fan spanner fit the lens cover. I'll try this tomorrow (when it's not 110 in the barn). Excellent question! Yes, it fits, but it's sque...

Jet sizes for a 710/712
What carb main jet size have people found is best in their 710/712?
Jim is rebuilding my carbs at this time, and he noted that they have "Euro 3" jets in them, which are apparently optimized for 3,000ft altitude. Wondering what people find works best for them.

Re: Tail light gasket replacement?
Here's my solution: a ring of Tygon tubing. The blue painter's tape is optional, and to aid in installation so it doesn't roll out of place.

No one said it was proper technique.
