Engine compartment changes 69 to Jan 71?

Featured Replies

Would anyone know the engine compartment changes that occurred during the Series I 240z production?

(brackets, lines, mounts, etc.)

I can't speak to changes but here are some in-process pics of my 12/70 car as I put it back together. Disregard the FIAM compressor on the left side, everything else is stock. The voltage regulator was not yet installed below the inspection light.

Jim, my 03/70 is identical to your lay out with the exception of the large dia. hard line that ends just below the ignition coil.

What is it for by the way?

Chris,

That hard line comes from the fuel tank to carry vapors, it connects via a rubber hose to the small manifold to the right. Another rubber line comes to that manifold from a small pipe on the large oil pan breather tube on the block below the dizzy. A line then goes from the manifold to the back of the air cleaner. So... you have the carbs pulling in the vapors from the tank and the pan. I suspect these were changes from the earlier cars.
