   Seen that this topic was empty after 5 days, so here is a friendly reminder: RE: Those $15.00USD carb rebuild kits (actually, refresh kits as you don't get much!!!) that you get at PepBoys, NAPA, Advance; wherever; they always include some temptingly flexible fuel hose... DON'T USE IT. I was always tempted, as it is sooo soft and flexible, no chance of contributing to sticking chokes. But word was, don't use it as it melts from fuel over time. So I didn't. Well, turns out the local "Z guru" DID use one of them on one of my carbs when he replaced my floats and adusted for richness last summer. I just discovered it when I wondered why my fingers were getting black and g…

   Anyone fitted Jaguar 2 inch SUs to their Datsun. I'm not sure what I have to change so that they run properly on my 260. I can modify the linkage fine but am not sure about needles. Thanks

   check-valve in fuel system?

   Hi everyone- Can anyone tell me if there is or should be some type of valve to prevent fuel from draining back to the tank when the car sits?

I have noticed when i am under the hood at times, i can hear some sort of noise from the mech fuel pump area, like there is vacuum from the fuel flowing b…
