Subject: Re: Fw: State Farm Insurance Question
I moved from Southern California to Texas, sold my house but kept my
DeLorean and insured the DeLorean here in Texas with State Farm. I also
had
State Farm in California from the day I bought the D as a new car. There
does not seem to be any consistency within the State Farm Insurance
Companies from state to state. So what's new? Dee Moats

The State Farm question is extremely interesting.
Here's another twist.
When I moved from California to Colorado I had to
change insurance companies because I was insured
through the AAA of So Cal. In CO I insured my house,
my business and two of my three cars with State Farm.
But, THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH MY DELOREAN.
They did take the liability portion. As soon as I
found a different company (Harford through AARP - non
cancellable for life) I moved EVERYTHING over. BTW,
that was 12 years ago so the State Farm issue is not a
new one.

Subject: Re: airbox performance
The only way to end speculation is to take some measurements.
"My car feels faster" or "My car seems to rev easier" are not
measurements. Invest a little more in your invention and
take your car to a rolling road dyno and run your car with
the original airbox and your new airbox. Make no other
changes between runs. A sample of just one car isn't
statistically significant, especially if the gains are
modest, but it is better than anecdotal observations.

weeks until my first buyers tell you all about it before you speculate
too much.

Subject: [DML] Quadrant top plate
Hello all,
On my car (VIN 3092) the quadrant top plate was in pieces when I
purchased the car. This part is no longer available from any of the
vendors. Has anyone ever had any luck fabricating a new one? The
plastic one was pretty flimsy, maybe one made of stainless steel
would be a nice addition.

Subject: Re: repainting DMC logo on late cars
Andy,
All you had to do was wipe the emblem down with laquer thinner to remove
anything that had been applied to it, i.e.. silicon. The paint would
then have stayed where you sprayed it. I recently redid the two that I
have on my car. I used Krylon semi-flat. By the way, my car is an 81.
I placed these emblems right under the vents that are between the door
and the rear side glass.

Another tell-tale sign that anti freeze is leaking into the
combustion chamber and being burned: The exhaust will have a
distinct smell to it. It will have a "sweet" sorta smell.

Subject: Dash Lights
Yes, I'm still on that kick. I just put three different bulbs on the
bench for brightness. The bulbs are the 161, 194 and the 2821. The
194 came out ahead. The will all work in all the dash light sockets,
but the 194 was the brightest.

Subject: water pump/ advice
I recently found that my machine had totally run out of water/coolant....
I filled up the water to full (a few times, as each time I started the
machine up the level went down again). Then I put it on level ground and
opened the bleeder valve to get the remaining air out... Nothing came
out. I'm a little perplexed, becuase I did a bleeding a few months ago
and everything seemed to be working fine at that time.
Can I assume that my water pump is not circulating water??? The pulley
is definitely TURNING on the outside, at least. What else might cause
this lack of bleeding problem? I'd figure that it'd bleed off extra
fluid when the overflow tank was full to the brim... is this not so?
Jim.

Subject: State Farm Insurance
I recently requested State Farm quote on a condo in Florida. I was advised
they are taking no new clients for car or property coverage. Strange
corporate policy in my mind.
