Yes do use the brackets. The sway bar from a early 260 fits these as well. Midwest z most likely can come up with the plates. :classic:

check the chokes sounds like one in sticking. reach under the carb and push on the mixture adjustment , see if it snaps up. Check the fuel line there that runs from the float bowl to the adjustment , the grose jet, if the hose is stiff or brittle replace it . That will cause the choke to stick becauses it wedges it to one side. The local parts store fuel line is too stiff , and DO NOT USE VACUME LINE , it will not handel the fuel , and the manifold is right there. You might try a Harley shop . For sure Ztherapy has the right stuff. :classic:

Blue Zee this is the site I have been looking for ! thanks a bunch:classic:

zeiss150 , the SUs will supply the stroker , but it depends on what you are doing with the car . If on the track and running at or near redline , tripples will give more power . The SUs will do the job no doubt there is a guy running su that is turning in the 12sec . 1 /4 . drags. I have his email address I hope . I recently lost my hard drive and lost the address book. send a email to ztherapy they are vary good and can advise you better than I . :classic:

Nothing major , I am swaping out the 180 and going with the R-200 . The trouble I am having is the studs that are in the back of the diff. that bolt to the moustash bar are larger than the 180s that I had planned to use. WHAT SIZE ARE THE NUTS ?? I know the thread size is 1.5 but I need to know what the size is . I miked the stud and they are .510 in dia. accross the threads . Is it a 13 mm or 12mm? Thanks Gary

I am not defending Jessy but I don't think he has anything to do with Orange C. C. As to what they do with Monster Garage creations. There was a Rod and Custom show here in Portland and there was the Jet powered Toyota. the Golf ball retrever and the trash compactor cars. I shure agree on Boyd C. Relly apairent that he is just the name on the door. Maybe in the past when he got started he was a hands on builder , but no longer.

Well Mr Camo. my transvers link is stright not curved and the car is a '73 built 8/73 which is the build date of the '74 also. Go figure. That SHOWS TO GO YA , YOU CANT COUNT ON THINGS TO BE WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE . Supprised be too. :stupid:

what year is it and it's a Z isn't ? :classic:

I agree enough is enough this is stupid. Frankly an over restored car Z or any other car, that is a garage or trailer queen is a sad comintary of someone that has both too much money and too little of a life. If it is in collection like in the Smithsonian this is annother matter. For a person like J. Leno , and others like him , it's like collecting baseball cards. And just a fun thing, but in his case he drives his cars and cycles so in my mind does not fall into the garage queen slot. To get all twiterpated over this definition of "IS " has become boring. NUF SAID

Marty , you might be able to cap the port of 23 at both ends . Droping the tank is not that tuff. just empty it first. If you have a electric fuel pump , pump it dry. If not there is a drain plug. Mine was half full and I just used the electric pump and connected a power source to the pump and ran the fuel line at the filter to a length of hose and pan in into 1gallon jugs and dumped them into my truck's tank. if you print the diagram I can walk you through the hose and evap tank removal.Gary:classic:

I agree , it's time to give it a rest .

I used escanlon's sandblaster and it worked fine I dident find any trouble with rust being peaned into the metal. I treated all bare metal with the Mariene Clean and Metal ready , then painted all with POR . It is vary important to tape off everything ,as was mentioned , that you dont want sand in. Any switches and so forth it is amaizing how it filters in to everything . I know of no other rust preventive better than POR. my 2.5 c

Thanks guys v8-240z has one and I am going to pick it up on Monday :classic:

I am running a street cam and only a 9.5 to 1 comp. and headers with 2 .5 " plumbing. I bought the needles from Z therapy , if I remember correctly they were $30. . They have a faster taper that allows more fuel as the needle rises , but still gives the same performance at the lower RPM , good for street driving and mileage. So they say I havent done any mileage checking. Dan It's always a good thing to do what you are doing , fixing one thing at a time , some times guys will do the carbs and timing and the dist, all at the same time . Then they cant figure out what is causing what . That is what my PO had done and he screw up the timing and the carbs so bad the car hardly ran . He had it at 10degs retarded and the front carb rich and the rear lean . It was so bad that I had to take a running start to get her up the driveway ramp into the garage. Gary:classic:

:stupid: talk about freaking out I am more than twice as old as my Z:ermm:and it was born 8/73:classic:

With a front bumper like that Ram-a-lam-a-ding dong has you wouldent need the new snow plow ! A real duel purpose vehicle! Just look at the money you would have saved!!!! ROFL

Glad your back we missed you:classic:

From what I have read since I installed mine it was for that reason of water but also to help the turbulense of the air flow as it passes the front crossmember . They said that it causes a pressure build up there . Couldent be much I dont think . Any from what the test showed , with the pan in place it incrased the air flow through the rad which is a plus and helped to eliiminate the turbulense as well as keeping some the splash from the engine bay. excuse the spelling

I bought a kit about 3 yrs ago on ebay its a fujimi of a fairlady 240 Z ,I was going to build it but havent . It looks detailed form what I can see .

Well my '73 is stright and so is the driver ! ROFL Thanks every one I now have a new one.

I would think that because of your location that the availabity of part would be a big issue, vary big. Aside from this as 2manys has said the #1 down fall of these cars is rust . It is expesnive to repair correctly . In my openion I would look first for the most rust free car and secound the most complete . And go form there.
