Oil pump/Distributor drive spindle won't insert all the way.
It works with the damper and seal to keep oil from leaking. You can get to it rather easily if you think you may have put it on backwards. Pull the damper, pop out the seal and remove the slinger. If backwards, simply reinstall correctly, tap in a new seal and replace the damper. You should then be able to install the spindle easily.

Did you possibly install the oil slinger in backwards?

Original color repaint advice (Purists please chime in !)
Sorry....I checked the records...110 was a 72 color.

Question.....I don't recall you giving the paint code number. Was the code 905, or was it a different code number red? There was a lighter shade of red.....I think it was called Persimmon Red (code 110)...I believe those cars came with a white interior. Which code number was yours originally?

Starting a new project...Subaru STI Differential swap into my Z
Zedy......The so called curved bar was so that the diff could be moved back in the later Z's to move the half shafts back so they didn't come out at an angle. Your Z is obviously an early 71 with the straight bar and the short driveshaft. While you've got the diff out, you could get the curved bar, longer driveshaft and fix the early angular flaw. Simply install the curved hangar, longer driveshaft, late style diff mount and flip the mustache bar and you're updated. You can get the used parts at a Z wrecking yard. BTW .....installing the R/T mount in the early Z's (your Z) requires mods to the mount for clearance purposes.

I restored a 67 912 Porsche in Guards Red. Under flourescent light, I told the painter he had screwed it up.....it looked orange. When he had put it back together and rolled it out in natural light, it turned Guard's Red........amazing!

Color looks great........I wouldn't change a thing. I'll look even better when you get the chrome and emblems go back on! Nice job.

git......Something doesn't add up with your block. It would take a total idiot of a machinist to tap out a bolt hole with the wrong size. You do know that there are two different length head bolts.....right? Where did you get the head bolts? Sorry to hear about this problem. Motorsports is a good source for head bolts....I always use the turbo head bolts....they take more ft. lbs. of torque.

Restoring '71 240Z; Need Suspension & Brake Help
Install Tokico shocks, Eibach springs and replace the bushings with rubber original rubber bushings. Keep the stock brakes ( rebuild of course ). New rotors and pads are dirt cheap. While everything is apart, clean up and paint the suspension. Very rare to have an original owner.....good luck. All of this IMO

Remounting Head
Dowell pin on the cam should be straight up (12 o'clock) and the woodruff key on the crank should be straight up (12 o'clock). Everything will be correct if this is done. Come on SteveJ ......tell him to download a factory service manual! :ogre:

71 fuel sending unit ?
The O ring goes against the round grove in the tank, the face of the sending unit goes on next and the clamp snugs the metal face against the O ring snugged up against the tank. Vaseline will hold it in place while you stick the float arm thru the O ring into the tank.

What offset would that be? You may have to adjust the front valence for clearance on turns. There is adjustment there if you have a problem. Beautiful car!
