No problem, i'm just glad i can help, send Rick a mail, list what parts you need and he will get back to you in no time, say hi from Chris in Denmark. Chris

I still think it's a timing problem, please list all that have been done /swapped. Have you measured the fuel preassure at the carbs, what kind of carbs, does it back fire, what is stamped in to the distributor, do the rotor line up with cylinder one on the distributor cap at TDC, are both rockers loose on cylinder one at TDC, if you take of the distributor do the oblong on the drive point 11.25 at TDC. You have to start all over, in order to make sure that everything is spot on, read this http://www.xenons30.com/files/FSM/1972%20240z%20FSM.zip (got you this time Stephen) Chris

You beat me again Stephen. Chris

Just send that bumper my way and i help you decide:classic: Chris

Sorry for jacking this thread, what color did the grill come in, mine is painted in body color, should it be black or grey as the tail light sorround. Chris

Damn, that's a rare car.:stupid:

It should be the same, try to have a look at northern autoparts, you will save $15, i just ordered today, main bearing set STD $43.60 you can also send a mail to rickschroeder(a)northernautoparts.com i can highly recommend them. Chris

That was about time Stephen, i can never remember that link. Chris

I get your point on this and i don't think it is worth the efford, if you want a long rod motor that can rev, you should de stroke a L28, using crank and rods from a L24. What i know is based on searching, reading and more searching and reading and i have also read some place that milling down dish top pistons will take of some of the strenght, still i have no experience, just a thing i wouldn't do. If you have 9 millimeter L24 rods, they can bring in something like $100, its just what i would do. I'm supriced that no one else have chimed in on this, maybe you will have a better chance of getting a answer if you jump over the fence to hybridz.com, its more the style there, but please fill us in if you have any interesting news on this subject. Chris

No brass on my roadster, but they were swapped for some new is 1980 according to the info i have. It would have been nice to have, looks good. Chris

You beat me on that one Arne You can also test it with the one from your -73 Chris

Search after FSM and there will come a link to the factory service manual. the wire from ignition swich to starter is black/yellow, black/white from switch to ballast resistor, green/white from resistor to tacho/ignition switch. Hope it make sense. You can PM me your mail and i have a PDF with a -73 FSM i can send you. Maybe you should look in to swapping your ignition switch. Chris

Steve, please do post those photos, when i look at my bumper, it looks as it will fit if the brackets are shortened / swapped, i do not have overrides on mine, if that makes a difference, still i can't see why it won't fit. Chris

There shouldn't be anything wrong in jumping the coil resistor and starter, the starter can be jumped with a screwdriver. I'm sure Dave will jump in on this one with some good knowledge. Chris

2nd that, what cam do the motor have ? Chris

Over here it is a "forget to find one part" i'm planning on swapping to the early brackets, why don't you do the same, you might be lucky that Dave (zsondabrain) still have a new set for sale. Chris

Below is a picture of a E88 i unfurtunatly didn't buy, and the price was just right. Chris

Like Mike B said, post pictures, shouldn't an early 260Z have the smaller bumpers ? Go for the one you like most, in the end you will regred saving money if you buy the 260Z over the 240Z if that is the one you like most (i think so) and if it is because of the distance, you get over it. If you like the 240Z most, make the seller an offer, just choose what you like best. Chris

Why do you want to mill down your pistons, is it to save money ? i would advice you not to go that way, if the rods is from your original L24 and it is a matching block, you should keep it as is with the car. Flat top pistons can be purcased for a price around $200 and you can have your cam send out for re grind at Delta for a price in the $80-90 area, you will not want to use the turbo cam in a N/A motor. I recently got pistons from Northernautoparts.com send Rick Schroeder a mail and he can give you a quote rickschroeder(a)northernautoparts.com. Unless you use a BIG cam you will be fine with stock carbs and manifold, maybe get some other needles. Chris Some cam specs FYI http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm

Yeahr, that's a members car, can't remember his name. Chris

User CP - signature !.... Why not use this board and search for parts, parts can be shipped, tell me how i know. Chris

Your damn right i am, you don't post that much here, i bet the roadster take up all your time, it's looking good and almost complete. Chris

Bling-bling What did you use to clean them with, Dave Chris

Yeahr Stephen but not on 311.org. Chris

Hmmm. have been better, but not as bad as in the states, actually it's kind of a farce, the stock marked, house sale marked and the banks are hit, but PPL have the excact same money now as they had a year or two ago, the food prices and gas has gone down and the intrest haven't gone that much up, still PPL have been scared by the news and are holding on to there money, i think it's just a matter of time before they realize it and start spending.
