Hi, Casino. Welcome to the board! Your car looks pretty good for what is obviously a survivor. It appears to be a '71, '72, or possibly a '73, rather than a '70. Nonetheless, you'll enjoy your efforts to bring her back. We all wish you great success.

RE: #13, Rob. Be sure to say a big HELLO for me to Bill. He's one fast Z driver! If I remember correctly, he runs soft springs w/bars. Frank

My experience, though limited, shows that a rear bar does increase oversteer a bit. My bar is 3/4" (which may be a bit heavy) and a smaller one might not be as severe. I had originally set the car up for Auto-X back in the '70s and it really helped there, but on track days, it can get a bit squirrelly as the speeds are considerably higher.... makes you pay attention, I'll tell ya!

PPG is the ONLY way to go Gold..... I'm quite pleased with the color, the match to the original and the gloss.

Show off.... Beautiful settings, gorgeous Z.

One thing you can do to bolster your claim as to the car's worth is to have it appraised by someone familiar with the marque, history, etc.

Ditto all above. You've got yourself a rare Z indeed.....

Nothing quite as drastic as you guys have written. We bought a new house, haven't sold the old one yet. The Z was kept at the old house until I could get the new garage tidied adequately to house her. Today was homecoming. First mile since ZCON, and Lordy, was it fun!

Nice find!

Yep! Mr. K's 101st birthday is cause for celebration. Where would this brotherhood of Z-dom be sans Mr. K? Thank you, Mr. K.

Well, welcome, Jeff. You'll find a literal TON of info here. The search function is especially helpful for "right now" answers, but if you can't find what you're needing, ask away. There is a lot of knowledge available to assist you in whatever you'd like to accomplish with your new Z. Post your pics soon. We love to look at Zs...

Brian's cool. He's got what he says and has a family history of racin'....

Sounds like you need to send pictures to your supplier as it seems they may have mis-binned the pieces and are pulling incorrect stock for you. 2 cents.

You can begin thinking about changing your signature block.

Ditto what Bart said.

I recently installed Konig Rewinds, 16 x 7, on my '70. No issue at all with the center caps not fitting. Perhaps they are different than the 15" wheels???

You say the engine "wants" to turn over. Does it turn over? If it does, why did you replace the battery?

How does anyone answer this question with such a minimum amount of information?

Gorgeous!

One possibility comes to mind: a crack in the housing.

Nice looking ride, Trevor.

Glad to have you here.

Cool. I try not to plagiarize whenever possible.

One solution to air entrapment may be to park the car on a fairly steep incline, front of the car up. After the engine has cooled a bit, remove the radiator cap and restart the engine. Allow to return to operating temp. All the air "should" gurgle to the highest point, the open radiator cap, thus purging the air from the system. I read about this technique somewhere on this forum.... I think from ZsOndabrain???
