Look up jtburf on HybridZ.org. He's been making the tool a long time and it works well. Just be sure to use a bunch of heat.

Got a set of 16 at an O'Reilly store for $35, the fit was perfect. That was 3-4 years ago, though.

Sounds like they're trying to keep the forum running. Unless you all want to be charged an annual fee in exchange for the use of this forum, ignore the ads and don't worry about it. I've never even noticed them until now, and I bet they mostly or completely go away if you donate to the site. If someone is stupid enough to buy it, then so be it. That's Capitalism in action.

Jeebus, I paid about $200 for the S2000 and close to $100 on the 260Z...

They must consider it pornography!

If you have a Pertronix unit, that means you have a points distributor which was converted to electronic triggering. The E12-80 module is only relevant if you're using a 280ZX distributor. If you have the Pertronix installed, you don't have an E12-80 module.

Wow, very nice! That's a once-in-a-lifetime find.

Yes, very cool cars! I'm imagining a P1800 wagon with twin Webers, Panasports and nice exhaust...

I'm a wagon, hatch and E30 M3 lover as well! My buddy had an '88, what a blast that car was.

I will be attending!

Cool photos, with some nice history behind them to boot!

Dave, that color is stunning! I love the look and the execution of your red Z, nice stance, clean interior and an L-gata with triples underhood!

...and then find out why it's not a good idea.

A couple of things here... Weber manuals can help understand carb operation but that's about it. Calculators can only get you in the ballpark. Join "Sidedraft Central" on Yahoo and read the White Paper. If it's hard to follow, then read up on Weber carbs to understand how they work first. Carb tuning is very logical and an iterative process, but is not a mystery. Sounds like you have a wideband O2 already so that's a good start. FYI, that syncrometer is great but can be had for way less than $50. Search around and you can find them for $32-35. e.g. http://www.texasaircooled.com/catalog/Weber-Carburetor-Syncrometer-SK-Type-1-30-kg-h.html

FWIW, Lexan = Polycarbonate Plexiglass = Acrylic (PMMA)

If I had a vacuum log, I'd definitely do it. You can put the PCV valve either into the log or remove the breather tube from the block and stick a PCV valve in there. I believe stonehenge69 did this on his stroker, using a Mistubishi PCV valve. Drawing out blowby gasses by vacuum is a good thing, and will not only improve performance but keep your oil cleaner as well. Here it is: http://www.zcar.com/70-83_tech_discussion_forum/pcv_system_triple_carbs...pics_686437.0.html

You are correct! I got a 21T and it was something like $25 shipped.

Exactly! The main really only controls WOT mixture, the rest of the dynamic range is controlled by the e-tube, idle and transition circuits. This is why the e-tube is so critical in proper operation of these carbs. It's properties control the mixture across the engine's dynamic range.

Check fuses first, especially after over-voltage situation. Use a continuity meter.

Webers have accelerator pumps too, the only difference between the two being that Weber uses a piston-in-cylinder pump while Mikuni uses a diaphragm type. Dyno tuning may help, but diligently using a wideband should get you 97% of the way there. The wideband essentially pays itself off!

Not sure on your reasoning behind wanting a glass-pack but not a resonator? The only difference between the two is that resonators use a perforated pipe with plain holes and glass-packs typically have louvers that lead into the holes (quiet it down more). Both reduce drone. The "muffler" that Walter posted is essentially a "resonator". A straight-through, perforated tube muffler will reduce drone, but not have a big effect on total volume reduction.

Good question, I'd ask him. He's a member of hybridz as well, goes by azcarbum. I do know that seat mounts changed starting with the late 260Z. Early 260Z and 240Z mounts were the same, for all intents and purposes.

Cool! Mine is 110 Red and #4406.

I'm glad you have discovered the inherent "awesome-ness" of the Weber DCOE! With regard to float setting, Keith makes and sells the tool for $40 or so through his online listings. I'm planning on getting some Hypojets and possibly e-tubes. He is local to me and I've offered up my Z to do some e-tube testing.

Fixed.
