Surely you're kidding?

Heavy on the idiot... id·i·ot sa·vant noun a person who has a mental or learning disability but is extremely gifted in a particular way, such as the performing of feats of memory or calculation.

I don't know Cliff, that's going to make you sound... respectable. Do you think you can pull it off?

I thought this was impressive. The 'Main Street America' car show sponsored by the Corvette Owners Club of San Diego was held last weekend at Sea Port Village. Probably close to 300 cars there. Taking first place in the 60-70's modified class was this 240Z. Yes, he was in the same group as the Vette's, Camaro's and Mustangs. Incredible. I had my roadster at this show about 5 years ago and it was pretty much ignored as it is primarily an American car show. Nice to see the Z's getting some attention. Pics below are from cars final build at Miguel's shop, paint by Miguel of course.

@kats Yes Please. I can offer payment for your troubles to have the film digitized. I think the Z Community would be better for this! You are such a great researcher and source of information! BIG THANKS!

Don't call me Shirley! Sorry, I tried to resist. But it's hot here and I'm not making good decisions. Dennis

Damn- id have my 10mm working overtime

LOL. Cliff in a library? This is what I picture:

Hi Blue , the mono color 240Z picture was given from Mr. Yoshida when I met him and interviewed him . The picture is a big , like 200mm x 300mm . And the other pictures are printed from a set of slide film maintenance of Datsun 240Z which I bought a long time ago . In this case , is this a set of slide film belonged to Nissan , or an individual who owns it ? Anyway I have more 6 reels of film which are still in the wrapping . If someone want to see it and I maybe open them and print by a photo shop . Kats

Here is the detail , this figure is for the Fairlady series but also it is applicable for the cars which use same part numbers on the coil springs . I can’t find this type of figure in the books of export models , do you see it in some where? Kats

Currently, it's a balmy 117º F ( 47º C ) and climbing. If I can find a big enough box, it's your's. ? Dennis

All 280s were 75 and 76 it appeared. I have the same sloped rear area on my 77. I narrowly escaped heat exhaustion and a snake bite. Did get from the 2 40z a horn button, gas cap, rear tail light valances and license plate light. I couldn’t take the heat anymore and didn’t have water like an idiot.

Bracket is done! I need to test a plug. But I think they will clear. Pretty darn happy with it.

Quite possibly the best in the WORLD!!

But while your up there can you bring me down a bottle of..............

No dresses Cliff, jeans only for you!

Nice label ! I have never seen before “ Ikeda Bussan “ label . Please let me interpret over your picture. Kats

They made a big difference on my cars. Glad you like your's. Well spent money in my opinion. Are they from MSA?

Now that it is back together, I was warming up the engine to see if any tune adjustments were needed. After I got out the timing light and a few tools I figure that should be warm enough. I start to check carb balance and I say to myself, doesn't seem hot enough yet. Why is it taking so long? I look inside and the temp gauge reads 1/2 so Its good. As it turns out the ceramic coated headers really do contain a lot of the heat. Very noticeable compared to the old cast iron set up. Pleased to know that.

Send heat this way... we have had three days no rain since May....
