It's been a while science I last posted in here.... Just mounted a new Steering wheel with a New shift Knob(been made by my friend Max Sitti) and matches the original shift knob. I need to get a Blue stitched Shift boot so I can match the steering wheel blue S emblem, shift knob and the shift boot. The Red colored emblem and shift knob tag are for the almighty GTR.

We are watching. I will start with mine(70 240Z) very soon too.

Just got a 79 280ZX 2+2 slick top parts car. Let me check the seals on that Z and I will get back to you.My Z has no T Top. Jamal

Thank You ...Just posted it in ebay. Good luck

To be honest I never tested it....I will let you know. Jamal

How about the non running one knob Rally Clock...are they worth something? I just got one with blue numbers (77-78)

Thanks guys for the referral.

Just replied to your post....I do have a pump laying around!!

Great to hear from you bud......I am a 280ZX guy but some times I jump to 240Z and Skylines...done with the Z31 and Z32 though.

Got the MSA alternator plug today tried to mount the 280ZX alternator and it was bigger little bit than the 240Z Alt and Had an issue to mount it...the inlet coolant neck in the way and it's hard to wrap the belt around the pulleys. I will get me a longer belt and that might work!

I have some good used ones in my pile .If you still looking!

Alternator went out and this is a very good time to swap to 280ZX Alternator,I ordered the plug from MSA and I am waiting for it to arrive......Wow I am swapping a lot of 280ZX parts to this 70 240Z and I am lucky enough to have all the swap parts just laying around. Next after the 280ZX Alternator and make sure it run and drive good then will be the good time to swap to rear disk brakes.

Found out about the 15/16 Master from 79 280ZX...will fit but I have to reverse the lines so the Rear reservoir goes to Front wheels and the front goes to rear wheels.

You are right....it ran better when we timed her at 12 degree TDC @800 RPM.

I think you are right...I will do that and report back.

I am wondering if I can use a 15/16 Brake master cylinder instead of the regular 7/8 master in my 240Z.I have 15/16 master laying around and just to save some money and maybe I will upgrade the brake system in the near future??

Nice score Steve.....low Vin early Z. Like the centerline wheels. You are not keeping her? Good luck with it.

Yeah a new battery but got weaken due to a lot of cranking to start before using the 280ZX Distributor, I will tighten the posts and recharge it. I will recheck the timing again tomorrow and get back to you guys.......When we did the timing we just lined up the magnet teeth thing inside the distributor(sorry I don't know what it's called) and made sure the balancer mark lined up with the arrow on the timing cover(there is no numbers plate there.....just an arrow plate). After that we just fire it up and Voalla the engine started. Still though I need to adjust the valves and again recheck the timing. Thanks guys for the replies.

Just uploaded a video while she is running.

Finally...The Z is alive and running off a gas can right now.The motor sounds healthy and solid.Got lucky there.....the Z been sitting since 2002 and I thought it has a bad engine.I had to replace the mechanical Fuel pump(the old one starts to leak). Also swapped to 280ZX Distributor...much efficient and way better than points!! 280ZX internal reg Alternator next. Such a releaf ...now I will jump to fix the clutch and brake system.so I can drive it around!! Scratched couple things from the long list.......

Hi Guys...Just posted this reliable daily driver in ebay.Need the space and the cash to finish another Z project. Thank You for looking. https://www.ebay.com/itm/263400400045

I have a set of front 280ZX struts casing with spindles.I can swap for a front and rear struts bars for my 70 240Z.

You know what...maybe the PO swapped to later 4speed Tranny...I need to check, I will let you know!

No I wish....the PO replaced the whole middle console with 72 240Z with only one choke lever. Mine is a 7/70 built date......I am in hunt for a early 70 middle console complete... I found some but they want as much as I paid for the Z???!!!

Wow That is great find.....just 6000 Z's between mine and yours!!Lol Post a picture, let us see it! These are Dealer option Wheels.When you buy the Z, the dealer sell you these wheels to make money,and that time not everybody care about hupcaps. Congrats on the rare find,but again we need to see a picture.
