I am getting opposite opinions on which direction the delay valve is
supposed to face. Harold, are you sure that the "dist" side goes
toward the vacuum supply/tee fitting?

If anyone going to SEDOC wants, let me know and I'll bring with.
My CPR is totally different, but appears from vacuum diagram in Tech
Manual that "carb" nipple points towards Tee and "dist" nipple goes to
CPR.
Ford uses these things in horrifically complicated spark advance
setup. When they switched to 4350 carburetor, moved spark advance to a
full time vacuum port. Then had to route through delay valves and
ported vacuum switches just to make engine run. Stupid.

I will be travelling the length of the Garden State Parkway to get to
the Fall Tour at exit #4. We could meet at any of the various rest
stops along the way on Saturday morning. Anyone heading in from the
north is welcome. I don't have any times yet so e-mail off list. I am
aready meeting several others from the area so we could have a large
group.

By the way, is the slave cylinder on the passenger side or drivers

Hey there,
I am planning to use POR 15 when I restore parts of my frame next
year. I want to use the chassicoat black rather than the gray, which
would more closely match the original epoxy color.
Does color matter?

Any of the DeLorean vendors carry repro copies of the primary manuals. Ask
where you buy, or will be buying, your DeLorean parts.

Hello Dan,
Welcome to the club. I am in Brookline, and there are a few other owners in the area. I've done alot of the repairs on my car myself (with the great help of the DML, of course), so that might be your first option. I've also used Lumber Street Auto Repair in Hopkinton for some minor repairs - they are a good, clean, and honest shop. The previous owner of my Delorean had all his work done there, and they claim they've worked on several others in the area.
Also, for anyone in the Boston area, I'm planning on taking my Delorean to the "Pontiac GTO Day" at the Museum of Transportation at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline (www.mot.org) on September 20th. If anyone else is interested in joining in, let me know.

Just wondering what would be a fair price of a orginal factory shop
manual in great condition with binder and all pages? Print date in
1982. I have a chance to get one but wanted to know if I am better
off just going with a reprint or if it would be a good addition to
the car.

Subject: Re: POR 15
the silver is recomended for rust that is more advanced....the silver will be
closer than the black Por-15 but when you are all done treating your car just
buy a can or 2 of Krylon smoke gray gloss from walmart at $3.00 a can and
spray over the part you treat....that is a very close match and is what many
owners use. I bought the 3 part starter kit from Por-15 becasue i just had a small
rust spot and then finished it up with the krylon. worked great!

Subject: Delorean for sale in Iraq
Anybody seen a Delorean for sale in or near Iraq? Painted is OK, possibly
something in a desert camo motif, with camel interior? I wonder if Deloreans are
invisible to radar like a stealth jet?
On a slightly more serious note, I saw a Delorean in Hong Kong earlier this
week. Anybody know who the owner is?
After inadvertantly scratching up the aluminum finish on my Mac laptop, now
it looks like my Deloreans. Hey Ken, Is there a concours catagory for laptops?
I bet I could make 2nd place!

Hello. I am new to the group. I would like to buy a Delorean, but can't find one closer to Nebraska. Does anyone know of one for sale in Nebraska or the surrounding states?

I saw this video a while back after a friend of mine found it on
the 'net. I had totally forgotten about it.
If anyone is interested in seeing the video, here's the link.

A coworker reported seeing someone who wasn't me in a DeLorean on her way to
work today, in the Hosham PA area.
If you're on the list, I'd love to talk to you offline; I'm still looking
for mechanics in the area with D experience.

Hi Daniel,
What, you saw a DeLorean in Hong Kong? I thought I had the only one in the
Territory and it is presently being rebuilt/refurbished in USA!?! Are you
sure it was a DeLorean and not a silver Esprit!
If you are still in HK drop me a line and we can grab a pint and talk
DeLoreans if you have time over the "Moon Festival" weekend.
Cheers, IAN (N.Irishman in HongKong!)

Subject: Tuning Idle Speed Circuit. (was: Re: idle problem)
Yes! I am sure. It is easy to let the logic of the vacuum valve fool
you. Vacuum flows freely from the "Dist" side and is delayed from
the "carb" side. It is the delay that must be applied to the
pressure regulator bottom compartment to give the fuel spike. The
vacuum is created while idling and drops (vacuum goes away) on
the "Dist" side and upper regulator chamber during acceleration but
is delayed on the "Carb" side. See the figure on page 52 of the
Technical Information Manual. The circled "1" points to the delay
valve. The side it points to is the "Carb" side.
