And I am in the position of deciding between carbs or fuel injection while putting my 78 back together.

Why?

Regarding the original question:

When I bought my ZX, it wasn't with the intention of using it as my daily driver. Alas, life decided otherwise, and she was my dd for several years. Every day, no matter the weather.

I am not a mechanic, nor am I wealthy. Luckily for me, my car did very well for all those years with basic maintenance... until the head gasket went.

Yes, I've got some rust issues on my car, and I tend to run a bit on the rich side, but for the most part, this car has been a tried and true friend.

Keep looking around this site for tips on problem areas (that apply to all the L6 powered Z cars), and look at whatever cars you find with a logical, wallet based eye.

I agree w/David. You'll find more useful info here (IMO) and less 'attitude' than those two sites.
