I found this on CL

I've spent WAY too much time on Amazon studying generic door seals for the 240Z. I even tried some with mixed results. The first one I tried had a "bulb" of 3/8 of an inch (9.5mm). It left gaps, allowing wind noise. I took a chance and went big on the next try with a 0.7 inch bulb (17.8mm). The door would not close properly. Okay, so I figured the "mama bear" size would be about 0.5 inch (12.7mm). I got it today and installed it. It had a nice snug fit around the doorway. The door takes a fair amount of effort to close, but it will close completely. There are no gaps that I can find around the door, either. Here's a link to this door seal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097MPM512 20220220_164404.mp4 Now to get more for the passenger side. By the way, you'll need about 11 feet of material to go all of the way around the door.

Took the baffle plates off to cut down and reinstall later and installed the front wheels. The dust caps were hammered down to make room for the previous American racing wheels. It’s good to move to my house next weekend weather permitting.

Apart from the standoff by the throttle linkage (which I've now wrestled sort-of into place), I have 2 clamps just under the cowl, with a possible location for a third by the positive battery terminal, under the inspection lid. But that's the only place where I can see where a third clamp could go. You can just see the bolt hole on one of Alan's photos.Is this correct? My car's clamps were removed years ago, so I quickly fabbed up some temporary replacements, while I wait to get some from my mechanic.

If you're tuning with points, do you have a good dwell meter? I once tried 3 dwell meters on one car and got 3 different readings. (To make it even more fun, the distributor was missing one of the adjustment screws, so I had to wing it while adjusting it.) I since got a 4th dwell meter so I could confuse myself more. The old school dwell meters are NLA. I might eventually break down and buy a Fluke 88V. I think it will measure dwell, and I only have about 8 or 9 multimeters, so there is a need to buy another meter. Once you switch over to an electronic ignition, you can probably retire the dwell meter. Sometimes I still work on a luddite's car, though, so I'm keeping them around.

See if this video helps.
