Thank you @SteveJ. I’ve been told by my machinest that my stock, albeit extrudehoned intake is a choke point. Like most of us, I should be happy with it runs great and it’s 52 years old, but we can’t leave that alone can we! 🤪

All buttoned up. Went to the hardware store and bought a load of fasteners, As you can see, I still don’t have the fastener for the cold start injector block-off. @Yarb was right, I got it from ZCar Depot. It’s thick, and the fasteners I got don’t have any teeth. They touch the threads but no joy.

I’ve owned a 280Z, but I can’t remember what this is, or if it communicates with the runners so I have to bolt block it. Little help here?

Huh? Vintage what? 🤓

Found it! I need EFI connectors though. Bosch EV1 injectors and other connectors for sensors and such.

Ok, exhausting day. Last week, I got an email telling me my 4post lift was at the local warehouse and ready for pick up. I chose today, as I herd residents around the local trauma center Monday through Wednesday.

I had to rent a forklift and that came at 0900, the truck driver called while I was thanking the driver from the forklift rental company. The truck showed up at 1000 and it took the better part of two hours to get the crate in to the garage. It is 13’ long and weighs 1800#!

I started unpacking it this evening, but my garbage containers got pretty overwhelmed. I will haul the rest to a dumpster Saturday. Can’t wait to set this up!
