hell'o i just joined this group.  i live in arkansas not too far from memphis, tn.  i just purchased a 1976 280z.  this car has been sitting (i'm told for approx 1 yr).  when i started the car it fired right up.  although, there was alot of smoke that came out the exhust.  it smelt of gas.  i only ran it for approx. 20 seconds for fear of screwing something up.  i am going to transport it to my barn tomorrw and begin general tune-up.  i hope this begins a great relationship b/t me and my car (plus, you guys).  well, i'm going to jump to the other forums to see what type on info i can obtain on the car and educate myself.   catch you in chat. thanks  shane ishmael
